Note on peak search
The unit determines the loudest portion (peak level) of a disc by
searching it at fixed intervals. As a result, the portion searched
may differ from the actual peak level. In addition, this function
may determine different portions as the peak level for the same
disc. However, the difference between the portion searched and
the actual peak level is insignificant and will not present any
problem in adjusting the recording level.
The HST-231 adjusts the recording level automatically, so it is not
necessary to use this function.
