3 If the display is not showing the audio level
meters, press the DISPLAY button in the
adjustment controls until the audio level meters
appear.
Pressing the DISPLAY button cycles the display
through the audio level meters, video level meters,
and setup menus. If the display is showing the
video level meters or setup menus, and five
minutes elapse without an operation, the display
automatically reverts to the audio level meters.

There are two ranges for the audio level meter
display, "FULL" (-60 to 0 dB) and "FINE" (-20 ±
2 dB), and pressing the SET button in the
adjustment controls toggles between them. The
selected mode is shown in the top left comer: in
the "FINE" mode, a black block appears below the
"FINE" indication; in the "FULL" mode the space
below "FINE" is blank.
Select the "FULL" mode first, to make a coarse
adjustment.
5 Set the UNI/VAR switch for the channel to be
adjusted to the UNI position.
The input level appears.
6 Switch the UNI/VAR switch to the VAR position.
It is now possible to adjust the audio recording
level, while watching the level meter.
7 Turn the recording level control knob to adjust the
level.
Using the emphasis function
By means of a setup menu setting it is possible to
record with emphasis added to the signals input to the
AUDIO IN connectors. When emphasis is added, in
the audio level meter display a black block
appears below the "EMPH" indication.
For details of the setup menu operation, see Section 6-3
