Here's how to adjust the recording level with the Gain Control mode/Input Gain set to Manual.

When the MR-1 is shipped from the factory, the Input Gain is set to Manual. If you want to use the Auto function (Gain Control mode set to Auto) and adjust the Auto gain settings, refer to
"Changing the Auto recording level settings" (p.19 of the manual).

1. Press the record button to enter record-ready mode. The record LED will blink slowly.

2. Press the menu button, and in the menu list, use the P-dial to select and confirm "REC LEVEL." The recording level (REC LEVEL) setting screen will appear.

3. Make sure that the screen indicates Input Gain: (Manual).
If this is not shown, turn the P-dial to select the appropriate screen.

4. Use the P-dial to select and confirm InL Gain. The selection icon will change from " " to " ", and the input jack L gain value will be highlighted.

5. Use the P-dial to select the gain value while you watch the level meter, and then press the P-dial (or menu button). You have now finished setting the gain for input jack L. The selection icon will change from " " to " ". Adjust the gain so that the level does not exceed "0".

6. In the same way, use the P-dial to select and confirm the gain setting for input jack R.

7. When you've finished setting the recording levels, press the menu button to return to the menu list screen, and then press the menu button once again to return to the level
meter screen.
