input between the moment you initiated Auto Sens and the moment you
pressed the [AUTO-SENS] button once again. There is no limitation on the Auto
Sens time.

If you press the [AUTO-SENS] button once again while the Auto Sens setting
is in progress, the recording level will automatically be set according to the
maximum volume that was received up to that point during Auto Sens.
Compressor on/o
If the compressor is turned on, the input level will automatically be adjusted when a sudden high-
volume input is received at the combo input jack, preventing clipping distortion from occurring.
The volume will also be boosted automatically when the input is low, making the volume of your
recording more consistent.
