ENGLISH ■ PROPER RECORDING LEVEL A too high recording level can saturate the tape and cause distortion On the other hand, if the recording level is set too low, soh passages wi l l be marked by residual noise. A proper recording level is the single most important factor for making well balanced recordings Guideline for maximum recording level TYPE I (Normal) TYPE II (CrO2 ) TYPE IV (Metal) 0 dB level on peaks 11 dB level on peaks i3 dB level on peaks Note: The optimum recording level differs depending on the program source and the type of tape used OUTPUT LEVEL (dB) If the high frequencies (treble sounds) are to be boosted, turn the BIAS FINE control counter -clockwise to decrease the bias current Turn the control clockwise to increase bias current.

The DENON cassette deck is equipped with a BIAS FINE control to assist you in setting the proper bias for different types and brands of tape. At the center stop-click position, the deck is set to the reference bias level for Normal, CrO, and Metal tape. If the resulting recording in this position has too much or too little high frequency content, adjusting the BIAS FINE control can be useful to achieve better results.
