∗The input sound to be recorded onto CH1 can be switched using the CH1 SELECT switch.

∗∗The input sound to be recorded onto CH2 can be switched using the CH2 SELECT switch.

•The CH3 and CH4 input sound is determined automatically by what was selected using the CH1 SELECT switch and CH2 SELECT switch.

However, the following restrictions apply depending on the media and format used. (Page 132, Recording format)

Input level is -50 dBu.

You can change the input level to -60 dBu in the setup menus, RECORDING SETUP screen MIC GAIN 1 and MIC GAIN 2 (page 107). Be aware that sensitivity will be higher if you choose -60 dBu so you will record more noise.
