Set the Input Level setting to a level appropriate for the connected device.

When recording vocals, pass the signal through a mixer and set this to –10 dBu
or +4 dBu. When recording a guitar that has active pickups, or a passive-type
guitar through an effect unit, set this to –30 dBu. However the input level will
depend on the characteristics of the connected device, or on the loudness of the
vocalist, the guitar playing technique, etc., so use the following table only as a
general guideline.
–30 dBu Guitar
–10 dBu Consumer audio equipment such as CD player
+4 dBu Professional audio equipment and keyboards
At this point, set the Rec Level fader to 0.0.

Play the connected guitar or other source.

The Rec Level meter will light, allowing you to confirm that an external audio
signal is being received. If the level meter is not responding, check the Input
Select setting, connections, cables, and the connected devices once again.
If the Input Level indicates Overload, the input level is too high. If this
occurs, set the Input Level to the next higher level.
Using the fader at the right of Rec Level, adjust the recording volume so that the
6
level meter does not rise all the way.
The output volume will be affected by this setting, so if you have con-
nected external monitor speakers, etc., lower their volume before adjust-
ing this setting.
The volume that is output from external monitor speakers is determined
by the combination of the Rec Level and the tab 6 page (MixA1–4) channel
Volume. Also, there will be no output if the Pan settings are OFF for the
various channels in the tab 6 page (MixA1–4). If the level meter is moving
but you hear no sound, make sure that the volume is raised and that Pan is
not set to OFF.
If the sound is distorted even though the Input Level does not indicate
Overload, or the Rec Level indicate Over, access the tab 6 page (MixA 1–4)
and adjust the volume downward. A volume setting of 0 is – , 100 is 0 dB,
and 127 is +127 dB.
