8. While observing the peak level
indicators, adjust the recording
level and balance as appropri-
ate.
• Adjust the REC BALANCE knob so
that the level of the left and right
channels is approximately the same.
• Use the REC LEVEL knob to adjust
the recording level.
• With metal tape formulations, the rec
level control knobs should be adjusted
so that the +2dB indicators light up
from time to time. With all other kinds
of tapes, the 0dB indicator should only
light up from time to time.
9. Put the source component into
recording standby status.
• Temporarily stop CD (or LP) play.
• Rewind the tape to a position immedi-
ately preceding the portion you wish to
play.
10. Initiate play on the source
component and press the

Using the Auto Accubias System
Auto Accubias is a system that allows you to automatically set the optimal recording bias and level for the tape being used.
To activate this system, simply press the AUTO ACCUBIAS button when the unit is in the recording-standby mode. While the system is
calculating the optimal settings (the ACCUBIAS SET indicator flashes), the tape is automatically fast forwarded and rewound, a test
signal is recorded on it and then played back. In the display, the flashing bias indicators move to the right and left, and stop at the 0
position. When the optimal bias and level settings have been set, the ACCUBIAS SET indicator stays lit and the tape is rewound to the
position where the setting was started.
Note:
Do not initiate the Auto Accubias function when the tape is near the end of the side.
Manually Adjusting the Recording Bias
Although the Auto Accubias system may be used to set the recording bias and level as explained above, you can adjust the recording bias
independently for the right and left channels when the unit is in recording-standby mode or simultaneously during recording.
Note:
The manually-set recording bias setting will be lost once the AUTO ACCUBIAS button is pressed.
To adjust the recording bias independently for the right and left channels
1. While holding down the REC button, press the PAUSE button.
2. Press ACCUBIAS knob.
The display mode changes to allow you to adjust the recording bias in the range of -7 to +7. The L CH indicator flashes to indicate
that you are adjusting for the left channel.
3. Turn the ACCUBIAS knob and press it when the flashing bias indicator (initially placed at the previously set position) has reached
the desired level.
The L CH indicator now stays lit to indicate that the recording bias for the left channel is now set. The R CH indicator flashes.
4. In the same way, set the recording bias for the right channel.
The normal peak level display will be restored.
Note:
To clear the recording bias setting, eject the tape.
To adjust the recording bias while recording
1. Press the ACCUBIAS knob while recording.
The display mode changes to allow you to adjust the recording bias in the range of -7 to +7. The L CH and R CH indicators now
flash alternately.
2. Turn the ACCUBIAS knob and release it when the flashing right and left bias indicators (initially placed at the previously set
position) have reached the desired level.
The normal peak level display mode will be restored approximately four seconds after you release the knob.
