Adjusting 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 distorsion. On the other
hand, if 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 tape's maximum recording level.
The level meter has a peak holding function which displays
peak levels for about 1.2 second, making level adjustment
easy even for music with high-level sound bursts.
NOTES:
© When a cassette without erasure preventing tabs is loaded, the
unit will not enter the recording mode when the recording { CE }
button is pressed. When performing two-way recording, make

° Always start two-way recording from the forward side.
