PSR-2700 Digital Sampling XPlay the Source and Adjust the Level 0 dB - 6 -12 -18 -24 -30 -36 MIN MAX INPUT LEVEL Play the sound you intend to record, via microphone or line, and adjust the INPUT LEVEL control while watching the level indicators above the control. The length of the "bar" formed by the level indicators increases as input level increases. For optimum sound quality, your input signal should cause most of the indicators to light, but not all. If all indicators including the red "0 dB" indicator light in response to the input signal you're probably overloading the input circuitry and will end up with distorted sound. At the other extreme, if none of the indicators light, or only the lowest one or two indicators light, then the input signal is too small and the level of the recorded sound will be too low. NOTES • The keyboard and other function buttons will not operate in the level check mode. CExit ...Once the input level has been set properly, press the DIGITAL SAMPLING [REC] button to exit from the level check mode. REC s Setting the Sampling Frequency The length of the sample you can record and its sound quality are determined by the "sampling frequency". A high sampling frequency produce better sound quality but shorter samples; a low sampling frequency allow longer recording but with reduced sound quality. The PSR-2700 gives you two sampling frequency settings: Setting 1: LOW 2: HIGH Length 6 sec. (approx.) 3 sec. (approx.) Sound Quality Low High ZPress the [FREQ] Button ...Press the DIGITAL SAMPLING section [FREQ] button. The current FREQ sampling frequency setting will appear on the LCD display panel. 08:Showtune 001:GrandPno AccOff Frequency=1-:LOW XSelect a Frequency Setting ... Use the [+] and [-] buttons, the number buttons, the data dial, or the -+ 012 [FREQ] button itself to select the desired sampling frequency setting ("LOW" or "HIGH"). RESET NOTES • The "LOW" setting is automatically selected when the PSR-2700 power is initially turned on. 64
