Thank you for suggesting using auto gain control, however, I tried that too with similar results, if not, even worse. _____ From: ptr1-users-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ptr1-users-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Life My Way Sent: 17 October 2010 11:46 To: ptr1-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Recording Volume and Power Off ok, you are using manual mode then? if so try going into menu recording auto gain control and turnning that on and let us know what happens with the recordings then. ----- Original Message ----- From: E Lists <mailto:e.lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: ptr1-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, October 16, 2010 2:34 PM Subject: Recording Volume and Power Off Hello PT Pocket Users! I have recently purchased a PT Pocket (I still own a PTR1) and I'm very impressed with it, however I am experiencing strange happenings with the recording volume and Power Off. The recording volume is at its best when I use the "line-in mode". When I play a recording back after using the line-in, the playback volume is OK when I set it to maximum (25) but I do have to whack the recording volume up to the maximum level (20) to achieve this. The worse results are with recordings using the internal microphone and an external microphone. Even when I set the recording volume up to the maximum volume (20), the playback volume is really very low even when I set it to the maximum volume of 25. Anyone have any ideas of what maybe going on? Also, sometimes, while I'm in the middle of using the machine, it switches itself off after about twenty minutes even though the sleep timer is off. Thanks in advance.
