Sony DSR-DR1000 Recording Procedure

•When, in 4-channel mode, analog audio is selected for all four channels (channels 1/2 and 3/4), the same analog audio signals are recorded on channels 1 and 3 and on channels 2 and 4, respectively.

7 When manually adjusting audio input levels, with the VARIABLE switch on the front panel set to REC, use the REC/PB LEVEL control knob for each channel to adjust the audio input level. Watching the audio level meter in E-E mode, adjust the level so that the meter does not indicate higher values than 0 dB when the audio signal is at its maximum. When the level exceeds 0 dB, the OVER indicator lights.

When recording at reference level

When the VARIABLE switch on the front panel is set to PRESET, recording is carried out at the preset reference level.

Reference level setting

The factory-preset reference level for analog audio input is −20 dB (DSR-DR1000) or −18 dB (DSR- DR1000P). This setting can be changed using the LEVEL SELECT menu item (see page 71).
