Proper Recording Level; Rec Mute And Rec Pause Button; Dubbing - Marantz SD4050 User Manual

PROPER RECORDING LEVEL

A too high recording level can saturate the tape and cause distortion.
On the other hand, if the recording level is set too low, soft passages
will be marked by residual noise. A proper recording level is the
single most important factor for making well balanced recordings.
