The analog input/output reference level adjustment

The analog input/output reference level during recording or playback is factory set to +4 dBs within a range of –20 dB to the full bit level for both input and output.

To lower the reference level, use a screwdriver to adjust the ANALOG(BALANCE) IN/OUT LEVEL controls on the rear panel for both CH-1 (L) and CH-2 (R). You can adjust the reference level in a range of +4 dBs to –12 dBs. Make sure to set the REC LEVEL CH-1(L)/2(R) controls on the front panel to the center point before making this adjustment.

For connections through the ANALOG(UNBALANCE) IN/ OUT connectors

Use phono-plug audio connecting cords.

Digital connections

Use the DIGITAL IN/OUT switch on the rear panel to select the input/output connectors for digital signals. Set the switch to AES/EBU to select the DIGITAL AES/EBU IN/OUT connectors; set it to COAXIAL to select the DIGITAL COAXIAL IN/OUT connectors.

For connections through the DIGITAL AES/EBU IN/OUT connectors

Use XLR balanced cables for digital connections.
