∫Making good recordings
Note
Refer to the illustration on page 16 of the Japanese text.
Attaching speakers to the multi cradle There is no differentiation made between the speakers regarding left and right. Just connect the speaker you place on the left to the terminal on the left and similarly for the speaker on the right.
Note
≥Make sure that there is a rechargeable battery in the unit before you place it on the multi cradle and connect the AC mains. No sound will be produced from the speakers if you are using only a battery.
≥Do not connect speakers other than those provided. Also, do not connect the speakers provided to other equipment.
≥Speakers are easily affected by magnetic fields so avoid placing cash cards and travel cards nearby.
