GUITAR/BASS:

An electric guitar or bass can be connected to this jack. Since this is a high-impedance input, a guitar or bass can be connected directly.

MIC:

These jacks allow a mic to be connected. Both standard TRS jacks and XLR jacks are provided.

The standard TRS type allows for both balanced and unbalanced connections.

*If both jacks are being used, the TRS jack is given priority.

*If you are recording an electric acoustic guitar using a shielded connection, use the GUITAR/BASS jack.

LINE:

When connecting to the output of a CD player, cassette player, or other audio device, or to a rhythm machine, external sound module, keyboard, or other sound source, use the stereo input jacks.
