6Adjust the recording level.

Before recording, adjust the recording level. Failure to do so could cause the recorded sound to be distorted or noisy.

1.Play the source (external source) to be recorded.

2.Use the REC LEVEL knob to adjust the recording level so that the loudest sound does not continually exceed the “0” indicator on the peak level meter.

Different sources to be recorded have different volumes. In order to record at the optimal volume for each source, it is necessary to adjust the recording level for each source.
