Setting the digital recording level
The volume level of digital audio sources is often similar, however, level differences may be quite obvious between different digital audio sources and even between one recording and another. To maintain a consistent recording level in CD recordings, it is possible to change the volume of the input digital signal.
•Please note that the digital recording level cannot be adjusted when the CD DIRECT function is on (the CD DIRECT indicator is lit on the front panel).
To select the digital signal to be recorded, set INPUT to the appropriate digital input (OPTICAL or COAXIAL). To set the digital recording level, play the digital source to be recorded during record or record pause mode, and turn REC LEVEL DIGITAL/ANALOG to adjust the volume of the digital signal to a level that sounds appropriate. The digital volume can be adjusted up to a MAX of +12 dB and down to a MIN of
Notes
•Although some sources can be recorded with lower peak levels, setting the peak levels too low may degrade the quality of the recording.
•By pressing CD DIRECT (the CD DIRECT indicator lights on the front panel), the digital level is automatically set to that of the CD disc being recorded, and turning REC LEVEL DIGITAL/ANALOG has no effect.
Setting the analog recording level
To select the analog signal, set INPUT to ANALOG. Turn REC LEVEL DIGITAL/ANALOG during record or record pause mode to adjust the analog recording level. For best results, play the loudest passage of the source to be recorded and watch the recording level meter in the display. Adjust REC LEVEL DIGITAL/ANALOG so that the highest peak causes the 0 dB level indicators to flicker. Do not set the recording level so that the OVER indicators light as it may produce distortion in the audio signal.
