Use the displayed level meter to check the input level before beginning recording. If

you are recording the A3000’s own output signal (if

function’s

You can use the monitor feature to listen to the sound of the signal while this page

•

If you are recording an analog signal, adjust the front panel’s REC VOL knob so that

maximum input level reaches (but does not exceed) the

[C]

mark that appears to the

right of the meter. The

[C]

mark indicates the “clip” level. Note that it is not possible

to adjust the input level if you are recording a digital signal.

•

If you have selected DIGITAL or OPTICAL as your input source (

227) but the A3000

is unable to receive the signal (because the cable is not connected, or because the

A3000 does not recognize the incoming frequency), the A3000 displays the following

message to indicate that it requires valid input: “

DIG or OPT signal input is required.
