Hi Klas,
The Marantz does have a setting option for - 20db attenuation but I have it=
turned off. The Gain wheel is between 4 and 7 (out of 10). I can actually =
hear the distortions In the headphones while recording, however, the level =
is still between -20 and -10 dB so way below the 0 dB threshold. I really d=
on't know what can be causing this problem.
Thanks,
Eric
