When using a plug-in-power microphone, no battery is needed for the microphone since power is supplied by the recorder.

If you are using the optional stereo microphone ECM-717, set the switch on the microphone to OFF to allow the recorder to provide power to the microphone. It is recommended that you set the switch on the microphone to OFF during use.

Notes

•You cannot record through the externally connected microphone while an optical cable is connected to the LINE IN (OPTICAL) jack. The recorder automatically selects the recorder input in the following order of priority; optical input, externally connected microphone input, analog (line) input, and built-in microphones input.

•The microphone may pick up the operating sound of the recorder itself (such as the sound of the motor). Use the microphone away from the recorder in such cases. Do not use a microphone with a short connector, as this may cause the operating sound of the recorder to be picked up.
