Recording

If the unit is left in the record-pause mode for more than 10 minutes during digital recording

The record-pause mode will be released automatically, and the unit will enter the stop mode. (The "-DA" indicator appears on the display.) In this case, press the REC to set the unit to record-pause mode.

If the cable is disconnected or the program source is intermitted, the digital input signal will be interrupted during digital recording

The OPTICAL and 8or COAXIAL and 8 indicators flash and the unit will enter record-pause mode. (For about 10 minutes) If the digital signal is input again in this period, the unit will enter recording mode automatically.

Recording level adjustment (for analog input signals only) Å

The peak level meters have a peak hold function which indicates the peak level of the analog input signal momentarily. The MARGIN indicator shows how much margin there is between the peak level of the input audio signal and 0 dB. Whenever a signal having a higher level than the displayed one is input, the new level replaces the lower one on the MARGIN indicator.

Turn the REC LEVEL controls so that the “OVER” segments do not light, even at the highest level.

To reset the margin

Press the MARGIN RESET button. The margin will become “- -”.

If the level exceeds 0 dB

The “OVER” segments light in red, and “0.0 dB” flashes.

If “OVER” lights steadily, lower the recording level so that the peak level meter lights between –12 dB (w) and 0 dB to avoid sound distortion.

If you keep adjusting the recording level with the unit in the record- pause mode

If the unit is left in the record-pause mode for more than 10 minutes, the record-pause mode will be released automatically, and the unit will enter the stop mode.

The levels of the input audio signals appear even in the stop mode, and you can continue to adjust the recording level. (The "AD-DA" indicator appears on the display.)

In the above case, press the REC button again to set the unit to record-pause mode.
