Tips

•If acoustic feedback (howling) occurs, move the microphone away from the speakers or change the direction of the microphone.

•If you want to record your voice through the microphone only, you can do so by selecting the CD function and not playing a CD.

•When high level sound signals are input, the unit automatically adjusts the recording level to prevent distortion of the recorded sound signal (Auto Level Control Function).

			Notes

			the singer’s voice when the sound is recorded in
			monaural.
			• The singer’s voice may not be reduced when:
x	3,5	1	—only a few instruments are playing.
	3,5	1	—a duet is being played.

	—the source has strong echoes or chorus.
	—the singer’s voice deviates from the center.
	—the voice on the source is singing in high
34	soprano or tenor.
