Can you clarify - in your first post you said "the recorder It is fully functional in the play mode but while recording the situation starts to change". Are you saying that playback sounds OK, but EM84 display is faulty on playback? I think in a recorder of this sort, it would be quite normal for the record level indicator to not be functional (i.e. not to display any signal level) during playback.
