Reference level for recording in DV (SP) format

On many consumer DV devices, recording is carried out at a reference level of –12 dB. Threfore, when recording in DV (SP) format on this unit, using the fixed referenced level of –12 dB is recommended. When dubbing DVCAM source material recorded at a different reference level, you can carry out manual adjustment as described in the following.
