The unit scans input levels of the whole disc and
determines the peak (maximum input level)
among them. The peak determined with this
function is sometimes slightly different from the
real one. In addition, portions determined as a
peak vary each time this function is carried out
on the same disc. The difference between the
determined and the real peak is however,
negligible and will not prevent you from adjusting
the recording level.
