Note
Before selecting signals from two player channels for
recording in one recorder channel, check to be sure
that the emphasis settings (ON or OFF) of the two
player channels are the same. Recording and playback
of mixed signals cannot be carried out correctly if the
emphasis settings are different.
You can check the settings in the channel display
section of the level meters. [EMPH] is displayed for
channels with the emphasis setting on.
The RECORDER side button that was pressed remains
lit after you have finished making the settings. When
you press the lit RECORDER side button, the
PLAYER side buttons that were pressed when you
made the settings light up again. This allows you to
check the settings. To cancel the settings, press the
corresponding button on the RECORDER side while
pressing the button for the same channel on the
PLAYER side.
Note
The channel copy and mixing settings described above
are disabled during the following types of editing.
• Automatic editing in feed mode (see page 5-11) when
TAPE has been selected as the player and MASTER
or PROGRAM has been selected as the recorder.
• Automatic editing when MASTER or PROGRAM
has been selected as the player and PROGRAM has
been selected as the recorder.
Adjusting the recording level when the
MIXING indicator is lit
Adjust by rotating the REC knob for the PLAYER side
channel while viewing the level meter for the

In this mode the segment of the display
corresponding to the current audio level and all
lower segments light.
FINE: The display is enlarged, with a step of 0.25
dB. A segment indicating the reference level
lights.
In this mode only the segment of the display
corresponding to the current audio level lights. If
the audio level exceeds the maximum display
level, the top segment flashes, and if the audio
level goes below the minimum display level, the
bottom segment flashes.
0 PHONES jack and control
Connect stereo headphones with an impedance of 8
ohms, to monitor the sound during recording, playback
and editing.
The control knob adjusts the volume.
It is possible to make a setting so that the output

controlled simultaneously.
In order that the output volume from the MONITOR
OUTPUT connectors can be controlled simultaneously, an
internal board switch setting is required. For details, refer
to the Maintenance Manual Part 1.
