place it in pause and then use the menu to change to Manual Record level. Push the RED REC button down and slide the button to the right to put the recorder in instant record mode (auto gain). Press on the PAUSE BUTTON. Press and hold the Navi/Menu button for 2 seconds until the menu window activates. Rotate jog wheel until "REC Set" is blinking. Select “REC Volume,” and then “Manual.” You can now adjust Record Level manually with the Jog Wheel. Set the record level gain so the normal volume "peaks" cause about 1/2 of the segments to come on (turn black). Notice that the over- modulation segment occurs right under the “0” of “30.”
You can change the record level as the deck while recording if necessary.
15.To start recording, press again on the Pause button. When you are ready to stop recording, press on the PAUSE button again. Try to not stop the recorder with the STOP button unless you are taking a break because this will take the deck out of Manual Record Level mode. Note that the recorder jumps to unused disc space when a new recording is started. Recordings are organized into “groups.” A ‘Group” includes all the tracks made with the pause button. Pressing STOP will cause a new “group” to be created the next time the a recording is made on the disc.
16.To raise the headphone volume, press on the top edge of the ENTER button and on the lower edge to lower the headphone volume. This may take some practice.
17.You can create a marker for a new track as the Recorder is running by pressing the "T mark" button above the mic input jack. This will create a new track at this point making it much easier to locate later.
18.Allow the Record to Save the Files. After pressing STOP, the recorder needs to write the file to the disk in order to save it. DO NOT remove the disk or turn off the power to the unit by removing the battery or power cord during this phase or you will lose the recordings on the disc.
