volume from the source makes the reading swing some-
where between -4 dB and 0 dB.
Recording monitor appears when adjusting the recording
level.
<Connecting with a digital cable >

"D.L. +8dB" if it is a CS tuner or other equipment.
< Connecting with an analogue cable >
The recording monitor displays LINE 0 to LINE 30.
If using a headphone socket of external equipment, set
the volume on the equipment (avoid creaking noise)
and then adjust the recording level on the unit.
< Connecting with a microphone >
The recording monitor displays MIC L 0 to MIC H 30.
If the recording level is set too low, recorded sound may
