Setting the recording level

When recording commercially produced CDs, the recording
level has already been optimized and you don't need to change
it. Boosting the level will generally result in distortion where
there are peaks in the music. If you're recording a non-
commercially produced CD that has been consistently under-
recorded, you may need to boost the level.
If you're putting together a mix CD of tracks from different discs
you might find that some tracks sound louder than others
because average volumes vary. To even this out you may want
to reduce the recording level of some tracks.
Note: when recording DTS or HDCD encoded CDs digitally,
setting the recording level at anything other than 0dB will
produce a standard audio CD without the DTS/HDCD encoding.
1 Press CHECK to start the CD playing.
The track/disc to be recorded starts playing and the
indicator starts blinking. <deleted>
2 Turn the REC LEVEL knob to adjust the
recording level.

meter should not light at all.
To reset the level to the same as the source, press the
knob (the
