Notes

•Make sure to place the recorder at a stable, vibration-free place during recording.

•If you start recording before the operation lamp turns off, the first few seconds of the material may not be recorded. Verify on the recorder that the operation lamp is off before you start recording.

•The recorder automatically switches input in the following order; optical input, microphone input, and analog input. You cannot record through the microphone while an optical cable is connected to the LINE IN (OPT) jack.

•The microphone may pick up the operating sound of the recorder itself. Use the microphone away from the recorder in such cases. Please note that the sound of recorder operations may be picked up if the microphone that you use has a short connector.

•Only the left-channel sound is recorded when a monaural microphone is used.

•Make sure not to connect the USB cable while the recorder is operating. This may cause the recorder to malfunction or noise to be output.

•Do not touch the microphone and its plug while recording with the recorder connected to a wall outlet. Doing so may introduce noise in the recording.

•Do not move or jog the recorder or disconnect the power source while recording, or while “DATA SAVE” or “SystemFILE WRITING” (“DATA SAVE” or “SYSTEM WRITE” on the remote) is displayed. If you do, the data recorded up to that point may not be recorded to the disc, or data on the disc may be damaged.

•Recording cannot be done when the disc does not have enough space for recording.

•If the power supply is disrupted (i.e. the battery is removed or becomes exhausted or the AC power adaptor is disconnected) during a recording or editing operation, or while “DATA SAVE” or “SystemFILE WRITING” (“DATA SAVE” or “SYSTEM WRITE” on the remote) is displayed, then it will not be possible to open the lid until power is restored.

•When using a plug-in power-type microphone, the microphone can be operated even when its power switch is turned off since power is supplied from the recorder itself.

•You can select the mode for adjusting the microphone sensitivity or automatic recording level

adjustment mode to suit the sound source (page 50).

•The recorder is factory set to make a new group whenever recording is done. If you do not want to

make a group, set “Group REC” to “Off” (page 51).

•To start recording from a specific point on the disc, pause the recorder at the desired point, and then start recording from that point.

•You can monitor the sound during recording. Changing the volume level will not affect the recording level.

•Once the clock is set, tracks are automatically

stamped with the time and date of recording (page 61).

•It is preferable to use the recorder on house current when using the recorder for a long time, especially when recording.
