Abstract
An arrangement (60) for recording an analog signal in a track on a record carrier (82) is provided with an overload detection circuit (78) for detection an overload situation for the analog signal applied to the arrangement. Upon detection of an overload situation, the recording mode is terminated and the record carrier is rewound to the start location of the current recording. Further, the arrangement is provided with a variable attenuator (66). The variable attenuation factor in the attenuator is increased upon detection of the overload situation.
