Adjusting the Recording
Level
The proper recording level, which differs
according to the tape type, is indicated on
the peak level meters for each tape type.
Adjust the REC LEVEL control as high as
possible without exceeding the
recommended range for the inserted tape.

Tips on recording level
adjustment
Setting the recording level too low will
produce a hissing sound, while setting it
too high will produce distortion. Generally,
the proper recording level for high and low
frequencies is lower than that for middle
frequencies. When recording program
sources with many high and low
frequencies, set the level to a relatively low
position, then make adjustments according
to the recording results.
Recording FM Broadcasts
With the Dolby NR System
If your tuner does not have an MPX filter,
or, if equipped, the filter is not working
effectively, set the MPX FILTER button to
ON (the FILTER indicator appears) when
recording FM broadcasts with the Dolby
NR system.
The MPX filter eliminates remnants of the
19-kHz stereo carrier and 38-kHz subcarrier
signals which may impair the operation of
the Dolby NR system. Be sure to turn on the
DOLBY NR switch since the MPX filter will
not function otherwise.
