With the VAR switch on the front panel set to REC, use the REC/PB
LEVEL control knobs to adjust audio input levels. Watching the audio level
meter, adjust the level so that the meter does not indicate higher values than
0 dB when the audio signal is at its maximum. When the level exceeds 0 dB,
the OVER indicator lights.
The factory-preset audio recording level is 20 dB (DSR-1500) or 18 dB
(DSR-1500P). This setting can be changed using the LEVEL SELECT
menu item (see page 66).
This section describes the procedure to perform recording on this unit, showing
an example session in which playback signals coming from a player VCR will

Notes
• When controlling this unit from an editing control unit connected to the
REMOTE connector of this unit, set the LOCAL/REMOTE switch to
REMOTE, turning the REMOTE indicator on. When not, set the switch to
LOCAL, turning the indicator off.
• If you intend to use a tape recorded on this unit in a system comprising a DSR-
85/85P and an ES-7 EditStation, it is recommended to record color bars on at
least the first 40 seconds of the tape.
When transferring digital signals from the DSR-85/85P to the ES-7
EditStation at four times normal speed, there must be recording for
approximately 40 seconds before the IN point.
