4 Getting started
Setting the analog
recording level
Compared to analog tape, the distortion
that you get from overloading a CD is
much less tolerable, and something you’ll
definitely want to avoid.
What you want to aim for is a level where
the loudest sound from your source
material is recorded onto the CD at a level
just below the point where it overloads
(where it produces an unpleasant, buzzy
distortion).
1 Press INPUT SELECTOR to
choose the analog input.
Pressing
INPUT SELECTOR repeatedly
switches the active input:
Analog - Optical - Coaxial
The recorder’s display indicates the current
input.
2 Make sure the recorder is
stopped, then press RECORD
¶
(
¶ REC on the remote control).
The recorder goes into record-pause. (You
can also press
MONITOR .)
3 Start playing the source.
4 Adjust the recording level using
the ANALOG REC LEVEL
control.
Don’t let the recording level to
reach the red OVER indicator!
50 32 18 12 6 2 0 OVER
The maximum recording level
should be in this area.
When you’re happy with the recording
level, stop the source.
