PIONEER
PROPER RECORDING LEVEL ADJUSTMENT
When
the
unit
is
in
recording
mode
and
the
METERS
switch
at
FRONT
position,
the
LEVEL
meters
indicate
the recording
level.
Adjust
the
LINE
or
MIC
recording
level
controls
in
such
a
way
that the
meters
deflect
as
far
as
OdB
at
peak volume. Refer
to
Figs.
35.
and
36.
If
the
meters
are
allowed
to
peak
out
—
i.e.
hit
the
end
of the
scale
at
+3dB
—
the recording
will
sound
distorted.
Use
of the
PAUSE
Switch
for
Level
Adjustment
Put the
unit
in
recording
mode
and
set
the
PAUSE
switch
at
ON. The
tape don't run, but
you
can
adjust the
recording
level.
Then,
to
start
recording,
return
the
PAUSE
switch
to
OFF. The
PAUSE
switch
is
also
practical
for
avoiding the recording of
announcements
and commercials
in
FM
programs.
Monitoring
of
a
Recording
in
Progress
(Fig.
37)
Model
RT-1020L/H
is
a
three-head tape
deck
with
in-
dependent
erase,
recording
and playback
head.
The
erase
head
automatically
erases
any
previous recording
on
the
tape so that tapes
can
be used over
and
over
again.
The
recording
head
"inscribes" the
singal
on
the
tape,
while
the
playback head
retrieves
it.
In
a
method
called
"tape
monitoring,"
it
is
thus
possible to
hear the
playback
signal
while the recording
is
being
made, and
to
compare
the
original
"source"
sound
with the recorded
"tape"
sound. This
is
done
by
alternately setting
the
MONITOR
switches (there
is
one
for
each channel)
at
SOURCE
and
at
TAPE/PLAY.
In
this
way
you
can
ascertain
the
recording quality
and
take corrective action
if
required.
NOTE
While
monitoring
recording
now
in
progress
by
switching the
stereo amplifier's
MONITOR
switch
ON/OFF
(or
TAPE/SOURCE).
you
may
sometimes
feel
sound volume
differ
when
comparing
the
volume
at
ON
(or
TAPE)
with
the
volume
at
OFF
(or
SOURCE).
In
this case,
control
the
OUTPUT
LEVEL
CONTROL
of
the
RT-
10201.
Ill
to adjust the
volume
at
ON
to that
at
OFF.
