RECORDING (DECK B only)
A too high recording level can saturate the tape and cause distortion.
On the other hand, if the recording level is set too low, soft passages
will 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
Note:
The optimum recording level differs depending on the program
source and the type of tape used.
