Introducing the R-4

fig.panel-1.eps_50

Internal mics [MIC-L, MIC-R]

These are stereo mics built into the R-4. The audio entering MIC-L is recorded on the 1L channel, while
audio picked up by MIC-R is recorded on the 1R channel. If you’re recording via the internal mics, set the
System Settings menu item

Recording Setup

to

Int-Mic

. For details, refer to

“Recording from the internal
mics”

(p. 30).

* Don’t connect anything to input jacks you’re not using.

Internal speakers

These are built-in speakers for monitoring. If you want sound to be heard from the internal speakers, set
the System Settings menu item

Speaker

to

ON

. For details, refer to

“Playing back”

(p. 34).

* No sound will be heard from the internal speakers if you’ve connected headphones to the

Headphone jack

( ).
Nor will sound be heard from the internal speakers while recording or in recording-standby mode; this prevents
acoustic feedback from occurring.

Power switch [POWER]

This turns the power on/off. To turn the power on or off, press and hold the power switch for about two
seconds. The power switch is lit green when the power is on.
Don’t turn the power off during recording or playback. Before you turn off the power, you must make sure
that recording or playback is stopped.

* If you accidentally turn off the power during recording, the data that was being recorded will not be stored on the
hard disk.
* The hard disk may be damaged if you turn off the power of the R-4 while data is being read from or written to the
hard disk (such as during recording or playback). You must also be careful not to turn off the power while data is
being transferred between the hard disk and the CompactFlash card.
* Never turn off the power while the R-4’s display indicates Now Connecting... or Now Processing! Doing so will
cause the R-4 to become unstable, and could even damage the internal hard disk.
