Selection and Manipulation of Input Source
Input Source Selection
Input source is selected from external XLR microphone connector input, 1/4" microphone connector input, internal microphone input, line input, and telephone input.

INPUT LEVEL switch selects from telephone input, microphone input, and line input. Only when INPUT LEVEL switch is at the MIC INPUT position, MIC INPUT switch becomes effective. XLR microphone connector input is assigned to "1" position of MIC INPUT switch. 1/4" microphone connector input and internal microphone input are assigned to "2 / INT MIC" position of MIC INPUT switch.
If a microphone plug is inserted into the 1/4" microphone connector, the input from the 1/4" microphone connector becomes effective. If a microphone plug is not inserted into the 1/4" microphone connector, the input from the internal microphone becomes effective.

MIC ATTENUATION
MIC ATTENUATION is effective only for the signal from external microphone inputs, i.e. XLR microphone connector input and 1/4" microphone connector input. MIC ATTENUATION is NOT effective for the signal from internal microphone inputs and line input.

REC LEVEL
For all inputs (external microphone, internal microphone, line), three ways of level control are selected by REC LEVEL switch
•ALC (Automatic Level Control): Automated recording level adjustment based on the level of the input signal (REC LEVEL knob does not effect the recording).
Time constant is long to prevent sudden fluctuations in the recording level.
•LIMITER: Although the recording level must be adjusted by REC LEVEL knob, signals over 0VU trigger an automatic reduction of the recording level. Time constant is short to provide quick restoration of the manually set recording level.
When limitter works (at signals over 0VU), REC LED also dimms as a noticeable warning.
(Refer to Recording Indication on page xx)
•MANUAL: Recording level must be adjusted manually using the REC LEVEL knob.

Recording Level Adjustment
For the input on which REC LEVEL is effective (refer to the above table), recording level should be adjusted using LEVEL KNOB. Watching the audio level meter and monitoring the input sound, use the REC LEVEL knob to adjust the audio level meter so that the 0dB indicator just barely flicker at the highest peak of the input sound level. The OVER indicator should not light (this would result in clipping).
