6-8 Recording Level Adjustment
For each audio channel, use the AUDIO SELECT switches to
select whether the recording level adjustment should be set to
AUTO mode or MANUAL mode.
• When set to AUTO: Recording level is fixed. In this mode,
the recording level control does not
function.
•
When set to MANUAL:
Recording level can be adjusted
using the recording level controls for
each audio input.
Ⅲ Adjusting the recording level control of the front section
The recording level control on the front section only affects
the CH-1 channel sound.
To use the recording level control on the front section, make
the following settings.
• Set the CH-1 AUDIO SELECT switch to MANUAL.
• Set the VCR Setup Menu item No. 246 FRONT VOLUME
ENABLE to "ENABLE".
The recording level controls on the side section work
regardless of the setting of the VCR Setup Menu item No.
246 FRONT VOLUME ENABLE.
Manual Adjustment of Recording Level
The recording level can be adjusted manually when the GY-
DV500 is in the record, record-pause or stop mode.
1.
Set the AUDIO SELECT switch of the channel whose
recording level that you want to adjust manually to MANUAL.
2.
Rotate the recording level control corresponding to the audio
input to be adjusted.
• Adjust so that the peak level does not exceed the -3dB
point when a loud sound is input.
• With microphone input, since the limiter circuit is activated,
the recording level will not exceed 0 dB even if the
recording level control is turned up.
CAUTION:
When the AUDIO INPUT LINE/MIC switch on the rear
section is set to MIC, be sure to check that the microphone
is connected to the AUDIO INPUT connector. If the
microphone is not connected, increasing the recording level
could cause noise from the input connector to be recorded
on the tape. When the microphone is not connected to the
AUDIO INPUT connector on the rear panel, set the LINE/
MIC switch to LINE or turn down the recording level control.
