• While this screen is being shown, the input
signal can be monitored.
• If the built-in stereo mic has been selected as
input source in stereo mode, the two input level
settings are always linked.
NOTE
If the auto-gain function (
→
p. 33) is on, the
recording level cannot be adjusted manually.
(Steps 5 and 6 cannot be carried out.)
5. To adjust the recording level, move
the jog dial up or down.
The recording level changes according to the jog
dial up/down movement.
The recording level setting can be checked at the
top right. To record with optimum sound quality,
the input signal level should be set as high as
possible, without exceeding the 0 (dB) indication
on the meter. The setting range is 0 – 127. When
the recording level is too high, the sound will be
distorted.
