If you're recording commercial material from CD or MD, the digital level has already been optimized and you don't need to change it. If you're making a digital copy of a CD, DAT or MD that was not commercially produced and that was consistently under-recorded, you can boost the overall level by up to +20dB. Remember though, that any peaks in the original recording run the risk of distorting the copy. If you record digital satellite broadcasts, you may also have cause to boost the recording volume since the volume of some broadcasts is relatively low, but again, if there are any peaks in the broadcast, you run the risk of momentary distortion. It's also possible to reduce the digital recording volume, but in most cases, this is not desirable. However, if you're putting together a mix CD (various tracks compiled from different sources), and there is a track which stands out as generally louder than the others, then you might want to reduce the level of that track. Note that this feature will not get rid of distortion on the source material. Once changed, the new digital recording level remains until you change it again, or reset it. Each digital input has its own level which can be set independently. NOTE: If you are recording DTS encoded audio CDs or HDCD format CDs, the digital recording level must be set to 0.0dB for recording. 1 Make sure one of the digital inputs is selected. Pressing INPUT SELECTOR repeatedly switches the active input: Analog - Optical - Coaxial The recorder's display indicates the current input. 2 Make sure the recorder is stopped, then press RECORD ¶ ( ¶ REC on the remote control). The recorder goes into record-pause. (You can also press MONITOR.) 3 Press MENU/DELETE. 4 Turn the jog dial until D. VOL appears in the display, then press to ENTER. If there is nothing connected to the selected digital input, the message DIN UNLOCK appears in the display. The display shows current digital recording level. 5 Turn the jog dial or press 4 or ¢ on the remote control to adjust the recording level up or down. • The maximum adjustment possible is between MIN(silence) and +20dB. • Pressing the jog dial (ENTER)and holding for 3 seconds resets to OdB. 6 Press the jog dial (ENTER) to confirm the digital recording level. 23 En
