About overloading during recording

While a channel receives an analog audio signal, if the input amplifier is clipped, the
corresponding [OL] indicator lights in red. The [OL] indicator keeps lighting for a
predetermined period set by the "Peak hold" menu item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of
the MENU mode (see page 146).
By setting "Input clip" in the "Error tone" menu item to "On", the error tone is gener-
ated from the internal speaker or headphones for warning overloading. The "Error
tone" menu item is found in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode ( see page 160).
