Cautions

with

recording

~

¢

The

D0

mark

on the

meter

scale

indicates

the

reference

level

of

the

Dolby

noise

reduction

system.

e

In

actual

fact,

the

proper

recording

level

differs

slightly

accor-

ding

to

the

type

of

tape,

the

sound

and

the

music

being

record-

ed.

In

order

to

make

the

most

of

the

tape’s

characteristics

and

produce

good-quality

recordings,

it

is

important

to

check

the

sound

yourself

by

ear.

¢

The

level

meter

may

light

up

in

a

different

way

for

recording

and

playback.

This

is

caused

by

the

difference

in

the

tape’s

sensitivity

and

a

slight

deviation

in

this

respect

does

not

pose

any

problems.
