ADJUSTING THE RECORDING LEVEL
The adjustment of the recording level is the
most important factor in achieving good
recording results. A high level provides a good

NOTES:
• The optimal recording level may differ
somewhat depending on the audio source
and type of tape used. In order to obtain the
best possible results, set the recording level

recording and playback of the same tape.
This is due to differences in tape sensitivity,
and creates no problem.
