4-4-2 Adjusting Recording Levels
To adjust the recording levels for Audio Channels 1 and 2, follow
the steps below.
1 Position the MONITOR SELECT CH1/2 / CH3/4-selector
switch at CH1/2 so that the audio level meter on the display
window will provide CH1 and CH2 indications. Ensure that
the channel indications displayed in the window are 1 and
2.
Whether to enable or disable the FRONT AUDIO LEVEL
control must be preset through menu options FRONT VR
CH1 and FRONT VR CH2. Note that this control is factory-
disabled.
The menu options are found in the MIC/AUDIO1 screen,
which is accessible from the MAIN OPERATION page.
2 Position the AUDIO SELECT CH1/CH2 switch at [MAN].
3 While checking the audio channel level meter in the display
window or the audio level meter in the viewfinder, adjust the
AUDIO LEVEL CH1/CH2 control.
Note that if the level exceeds the top bar (0 dB), the word
OVER illuminates to show that the input level is excessive.
The adjustment made in such a way that the maximum level
will not reach the 0 dB bar.

use the AUDIO LEVEL control to adjust the appropriate audio
channel so that no excessive audio signals will be admitted.
