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 Jow 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:
° When a cassette without erasure prevention tabs is loaded, the
unit will not enter the recording mode when the recording ( @ })
button is pressed. When performing two-way recording, make
sure that both tabs are intact.
° Always start two-way recording from the forward side.
Operation will stop automatically at the tape end of the reverse
