by searching it at fixed intervals. As a result, the portion
searched may differ from the actual peak level. In addition, this
function may determine different portions as the peak level for
the same disc. However, the difference between the portion
searched and the actual peak level is insignificant and will not
present any problem In adjusting the recording level.
