Sony TC-755A Bedienungsanleitung Seite 9

However, VU meters do not follow transient peaks of short dura-
tion because of their inertia, and show levels much lower than the
actual levels. You should be aware when recording programs
which contain short, strong impulses such as live programming.
Headphone monitoring helps to avoid failure. Use the MIC ATT
switch if necessary.
Do not change the record level once the recording starts, as this
will easily be audible during playback, especially when the stereo
balance is changed. If readjustment becomes netessary, it is ad-
visable to wait until a break or apause between movements occurs
or a soloist has finished his turn.
Record Monitoring
As this recorder has record and playback heads separately, instan-
taneous tape-source comparison is possible with the MONITOR
selectors while recording.
as SOURCE: sound from source to be recorded is heard
at TAPE: sound from tape just recorded is heard
If the amplifier has a tape-monitor selector and connection is made
through recorder LINE IN and LINE OUT jacks, tape/source com-
parison is also possible with the amplifier monitor selector, In this
case, the MONITOR selectors on the recorder should be set at
TAPE.

Notes on Recording
@REC TIMER LOCK lever should be used only for timer-activated
recording. For usual recording, set this lever at left position.
@lf you re-record on a previously recorded tape, either erase the
tape fully or use only the PAUSE lever to control the tape motion,
because a tiny portion of the previously recorded sound will not
be erased when the stop- and start-functions are used.
@As a rule, the PB LEVEL control should be in center position while
recording. This position will prevent failure when accidentally
adjusting the record level with the MONITOR selectors set to TAPE.
If this should happen with the PB LEVEL control at MAX, the record
level will be too low and thus the S/N ratio will deteriorate, and
with the control set to too low, the distortion figure will be very
high because of oversaturation of the tape.
Erasing
When recording starts, any pre-recorded material will be erased.
To erase without new recording, proceed the recording steps with-
out feeding the input signals i.e. turn the MIC and LINE level con-
trols fully to MIN or disconnect all inputs.
@For quick erasure, use a commercially available eraser.
STEREO PLAYBACK
@ Turn on the recorder and thread a tape.
@ Set the controls.

@ Adjust sound level and tone quality with amplifier controls.
Notes on Playback
@ln playback, the EQ selector works only to compensate the out-
put level differences between the type of tape, and has no effect
upon anything else.
@Tapes recorded with too high or too low level may be played
back on the TC-755A by adjusting the PB LEVEL controls.
