selector on the rear panel of this unit so as to obtain an optimum level. If you are
not clear about the player’s output level, try the following procedure.

player.

selector to –10.
• If the player is equipped with XLR connectors: Set the AUDIO INPUT LEVEL
selector to +4 or –2.
2 Set the AUDIO INPUT switch on the front panel to FIX and play back the tape
which you intend to use for playback. When the playback audio level is at its
maximum, if the audio levels meters exceed 0 dB, set the AUDIO INPUT
LEVEL selector to the lower step (+4 or –2). Either, set the AUDIO INPUT
switch to VAR and turn the AUDIO REC LEVEL control knobs to adjust the
recording level. The recorded sound at the portion where the meters exceed 0
dB will be distorted.
