Tips

•If acoustic feedback (howling) occurs, move the microphone away from the speakers or change the direction of the microphone.

•If you want to record your voice through the microphone only, you can do so by selecting the CD function and not playing a CD.

•When high level sound signals are input, the unit automatically adjusts the recording level to prevent distortion of the recorded sound signal (Auto Level Control Function).
