You can set the audio level for each channel manually
from – to +18 dB.
1 Set the
– (audio level) switch of the desired
channel to M (manual).
2 Turn the corresponding
– dial to adjust the
audio level.
• For reference, the 0 corresponds to – ,
5 corresponds to 0 dB, and 10 corresponds
to +18 dB.
• As a guideline, adjust the audio recording level so
that the audio level meter on the screen will go to
the right of the –18 dB mark (one mark right of the
–20 dB mark) only occasionally.
• Closing the protective cover will prevent the audio
controls from being changed inadvertently.

Linking the audio level adjustment of CH1/CH2 or CH3/CH4
• When both CH1 and CH2, or CH3 and CH4, are set to the INPUT terminals or MIC terminal and to the
same type of analog audio source (external line input or external microphone), you can use the >
[
¡ ! Audio Setup] > [CH1/CH2 ALC Link] or [CH3/CH4 ALC Link] setting to link the audio level
adjustment of both channels.
• When CH1 and CH2 are linked, you can use the CH1
– (audio level) switch and dial to affect both
CH1 and CH2. When CH3 and CH4 are linked, you can use the [Audio Rec Level CH3/CH4] and [CH3/CH4
Level] settings to affect both CH3 and CH4.
Audio peak limiter
• If at least one of the channels is set to the INPUT terminals, an analog audio source and manual audio level
adjustment, you can activate the audio limiter to lessen audio distortions. When activated, the audio limiter
will limit the amplitude of audio input signals when they start to distort. Use the > [ ¡ $ Audio
Setup] > [INPUT 1&2 Limiter] setting.
