1Signal level and menu display
Pressing the DISPLAY button in the display operating buttons cycles this display through the audio level meters, video level meters, and setup menus.
When the unit is powered on, and whenever five minutes elapse without an operation, the display reverts to the audio level meters.
When the display is showing the audio level meters, the indication “CH CONDI” (channel condition) appears. One of the three segments above it appears, to indicate the status of the playback signal.
Top segment: The playback signal is normal.
Middle segment: The playback signal is somewhat degraded, but adequate.
Bottom segment: The playback signal is degraded. If this segment appears continuously, head cleaning or an internal servicing is required.

2Recording level control knobs and UNI/VAR (unity/variable) switches
When the audio inputs are analog, these knobs can be used to adjust the recording level on each of the four channels, while watching the audio level meters. Below and to the left of each knob is a UNI/VAR (unity/variable) switch, and the position of this switch affects the recording level as follows:
UNI: The input signal is recorded without changing its level, regardless of the position of the control knob.
VAR: The position of the control knob determines the recording level.
