This screen displays the audio levels. By adjusting the audio recording level control knobs in the front panel, you can adjust the recording level. In the EE, recording, or audio dubbing (only the audio dubbing channel) modes, the level display runs all the way to the right (0 dB) and turns red if the input level exceeds 0 dB. During playback, when inputting signals from the DV IN/OUT connector, or if you have set the AUDIO SELECT switch to AUTO, the level display does not run all the way to the right (0 dB).

When the normal screen is being displayed, pressing the FINE button displays the FINE screen. The FINE screen is displayed only while you are pressing the FINE button. The FINE screen displays narrower audio levels around the audio levels (–12/–18/–20 dB) selected in the REF LEVEL on the AUDIO SET menu and displays the audio input signal settings. You can finely adjust recording levels by adjusting the audio recording level control knobs on the front panel.

The audio input signals are displayed as follows: GAIN: Displays the AUTO/MANU setting of the

AUDIO SELECT switch.

48V: If the audio input level control selector has been set to –60 and the audio input selector has been set to +48V ON, this column shows ON, otherwise this column shows OFF.

LVL: Displays the setting (–60/–20/+4) of the audio input level control selector.

Notes

•Changing the REF LEVEL on the AUDIO SET menu does not change the audio gain of the unit. Adjust the audio gain by setting the audio input level control selectors and adjusting the audio recording level control knobs.

•The standard output level of the AUDIO OUTPUT jack of the unit is –10 dBu. This is equivalent to –20 dB level for the full-bit maximum audio level (–18 dB level for DSR-50P). This value is fixed and is not affected by the REF LEVEL setting on the AUDIO SET menu.

•When inputting signals from the DV IN/OUT connector, the INPUT field shows DV IN.

•When inputting signals from other than DV IN/OUT connector, the INPUT shows the available audio channels.
