2 PROPER RECORDING LEVEL

A too high recording level can saturate the tape and cause distortion. On
the other hand, if the recording level is set too low, soft passages will be
marked by residual noise. A proper recording level is the single most
important factor for making well balanced recordings.

2 RECORDING BIAS ADJUSTMENT

For best recording results, monitoring during recording and comparing
different recordings using your own judgement are essential.
The DRW-695 is equipped with a BIAS FINE control to assist you in setting
the proper bias for different types and brands of tape. At the center stop-
click position, the deck is set to the reference bias level for Normal, CrO
and Metal tape. If the resulting recording in this position has too much or
too little high frequency content, adjusting the BIAS FINE control can be
useful to achieve better results.
BIAS FINE
-
If the high frequencies (treble sounds) are to be boosted, turn the BIAS
FINE control counter-clockwise to decrease the bias current. Turn the
control clockwise to increase bias current.
By the use of this control, you can record tapes with a frequency response
that will perfectly match your listening taste.
