E-19  Automatic searching for the peak level on a disc The unit automatically searches for a part in the disc where the source level peaks and next plays that part repeatedly. When recording to tape, this feature is very helpful for adjusting the recording level on the tape deck. 1 2 To cancel the peak level search function Press Press to stop the unit. Notes ● Even if the peak level search is performed several times on the same disc, the same part will not be always selected. That is because the unit searches for the peak level among parts of the disc that are randomly selected by the internal microcomputer. ● In the program play mode, this feature will function among the programmed tracks only. If program play is being performed, first press , and then press PEAK. If program play is not being performed, only press PEAK. Press PEAK. PEAK “PEAK” lights up on the display, and the peak level search is performed on the disc. It takes a few minutes to search for the peak level. Next, the part where the source level peaks is repeatedly played. Adjust the recording level on the tape deck listening to this sound.
