Adjusting the recording level properly
Recorded sound will be distorted if the recording level meter swings all the way to the right,
or the PEAK indicator (R) lights in orange. Adjust the recording level so that the recording level
meter does not exceed [-6dB].

• The REC LEVEL dial can separately adjust the
level of the input source for the L/R chan-
nels. The larger the number is, the higher the
recording level is, and the more the level meter
is pushed further to the right.
• Recording when the level meter is way past the
peak may result in noise, even if the [Rec Level]
is set to [Auto] or [Limiter On] (☞ P.81). Make a
test recording to see if the recording level is set
properly.
Before Recording
To achieve a good recording quality, it is important to properly adjust the settings, including the
[Mic Gain] of the input source (☞ P80) and the [Rec Level] (☞ P.81).
