PROPER RECORDING LEVEL
A too high recording level can saturate the tape and cause distortion. On the
other hand, if the recording level is set too low, soft passages will be
marked by residual noise. A proper recording level is the single most
important factor for making well balanced recordings.

Guideline for maximum recording level

0 dB level on peaks

+1 dB level on peaks

+3 dB level on peaks

TYPE I (Normal)

TYPE II (CrO2)

TYPE IV (Metal)

Note: The optimum recording level differs depending on the program source

and the type of tape used.

• Switch on your amplifier or receiver and the source component.
• Set the Tape Monitor switch on your amplifier or receiver to the SOURCE position.
