Note on peak search function The unit determines the loudest portion (peak level) of a disc by searching it at fixed intervals. As a result, the portion searched may differ from the actual peak level. In addition, this function may determine different portions as the peak level for the same disc. However, the difference between the portion searched and the actual peak level is insignificant and will not present any problem in adjusting the recording level. 18
