VU meters should deflect up to but not
beyond 0 VU.
Les VU métres doivent dévier fortement
mais pas au-dela de 0 VU.
Die VU Anzeigen sollten bis zu "O VU"
ausschlagen, nicht aber dariiber hinaus.

Setting the recording level -
In order to ensure hi-fi tape recording quality, it is very important to
adjust the recording input level. If this level is too low, the tape noise
will be too pronounced in the recording. Conversely, if it is too high,
the recording has too much distortion. The PEAK
indicator features a
fast response speed and it indicates the changing peaks faithfully and so
it allows the recording level to be set close to the tape's maximum level.
Set so that the +8dB
peak
indicator lights occasionally with metal
tapes, the +5 dB indicator with chrome tapes and with other tapes and
set the recording level so that the VU meter pointers deflect as far to
the right as possible.
If the above peak indicators light time and time
again, it means that the level is too high and.that the recording has too
much distortion.
The maximum
level tends to decrease as frequencies decrease. There-
fore, the rule of the thumb is that when recording musical instruments
with
predominantly
high-frequency contents
(strings, cymbals, brass,
etc.) or percussive contents (piano, guitar, drums, etc.), you reduce the
level by several dBs to get the best results. We suggest that you ex-
perimentally record several types of program sources and decide the re-
cording level, source by source, after auditioning the playback for noise
and distortion.
How to use REC MUTE switch
With the REC MUTE switch you can create ''no-signal"' passages of any
length while editing recording (e.g. omitting narrations between musical
selections when
recording off the air). This is how to use the switch
when recording off the air and get the desired results.
1. The moment a selection is finished, engage the REC MUTE
switch
for about three seconds.
2. Push the PAUSE button to stop tape motion, then release the REC
MUTE switch.
3. Monitoring the source through your speakers or headphones, push
the
PAUSE
switch
again to resume
recording, the moment
the
narration ends and music begins.
