SETTING THE RECORDING LEVEL
Recording level adjustment is the most important factor in
achieving good recording results. A high recording level helps
to improve signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range, but if
excessively high it results in distortion. On the other hand,
if the level is set too low out of fear of distorting the sound,
irritating tape hiss will become noticeable in the recording.
Although tape characteristics differ depending on the maker
and kind of tape, even for tapes of the same position, you
can get the most of any tape and obtain good recordings
if you adjust the recording level to a value close to the
maximum recording level of the tape.
NOTES:
¢ The (0 mark on the level meter indicates the reference level
for the Dolby NR system.
© When acassette without erasure preventing tabs is loaded, the
unit will not enter the recording mode when the recording ( @ }

{Balancing the recording level between left (L) and right (R)
