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 –12 dB from the center position of
0 dB, the level of the input digital signal.
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.
