I am wondering what is the correct peak to aim at when recording, both on ordinary MD:s and Hi-MD:s, isnt is 0 ?. Where can i find out about the dots both on ordinary MD:s and Hi-MD:s ?. Can i see the VU-meters after recording so i can see the levels came out ? (dont now on my NH700)

It's been covered here before and a search should turn up plenty of advice, but in brief, my advice would be to keep 'normal' peaks around the first fixed dot, and let exceptional peaks reach to the meter segment just before the second fixed dot. If you hit the segment at the second fixed dot, there's a good chance you'll get distortion. You won't see meters on playback on the current models as I understand it. Use something like Audicity to examine the waveform of your recording and judge how well you've set the level afterwards, and learn from what you see (and hear).
