Field Memory Recorder (Chapter 5: Recording/playback)
<Notes>
•
Adjust the recording level appropriately so that the level meter does not exceed "0
dB". To get the maximum signal-to-noise performance, set the recording level
appropriately so that the meter indication does not exceed "0 dB" but goes up near to
the "0 dB" at the loudest part of the input signal.
The reference level is set to the "-20 dBFS" relative to digital full-scale.
"20" on the meter is labeled in inverse video, showing that it is the reference position.
•
You can set the unit to generate the error tone when the input amplifier clips due to
over level by using the "Error tone" menu item on the Setup menu in the MENU
mode. See "Setting error tone output condition" on page 87 for details.
The recording level for each channel can be adjusted using the [LEVEL] controls
after pressing the [REC STBY] key to enable "input monitor". The L and R [LEVEL]
controls are ganged.
Pressing the [REC STBY] key again releases "input monitor".
Adjusting the recording level
According to the situation, select the track mode (whether making recording in
mono or stereo) using the [TRACK MODE] switch.
The [TRACK MODE] switch setting is shown on the Home screen.
Selecting the track mode
