4 Use the joystick (

) or SELECT dial to set the audio recording
level and then press SET.
• As a guideline, adjust the audio recording level so that the audio level
meter on the screen or rear panel will go to the right of the 18 dB
mark (one mark right of the 20 dB mark) only occasionally.
NOTES
• When adjusting the audio level manually, you can activate the audio peak limiter with the [

>
[Limiter] setting. When activated, the audio peak limiter will limit the amplitude of audio input
signals when they exceed -6 dBFS.
• We recommend using headphones when adjusting the audio level. If the input level is too high, audio may
become distorted even if the audio level indicator shows an appropriate level.
• If you set an assignable button to [Audio Level] (
A
111), you can press the button to turn the onscreen audio
level indicator on and off.
