Recording
When making a digital recording:
The recording level is automatically set the same as the
level of the original.
It is not necessary to adjust the recording level.
When recording from analog inputs:
Before recording, adjust this unit's recording level.
(Page 22)
When this unit is connected to the headphone jack
of some other equipment, the playback level of the
other equipment should also be adjusted.
When this unit is connected to line jacks on the other
equipment, it is not necessary to adjust the playback
level of the other equipment. (The playback volume
of the other equipment will not have any effect on
the recording.)
Note:
When recording important selections, be sure to make
a preliminary test to ensure that the desired material is
being properly recorded.
