Notes

•When i.LINK signals are input to the unit, the sound recorded retains the signal input level, regardless of the setting of this switch.

•Even when this switch is set to AUTO, the setting is not effective against a volume level which exceeds the dynamic range of the input amplifier.

•If you input a sound at a level that exceeds the acceptable range, the recorded sound is distorted.

bAUDIO REC LEVEL control knobs (CH-1 (DUB CH-3) and CH-2 (DUB CH-4))
