Sony PCM-M1 Operating Instructions Manual page 19

Tip
When the recorder records
to the end of the tape, it
rewinds the tape
automatically to the
beginning and stops. (Auto-
rewind function).
Notes
• The unit will not enter the
low-power consumption
mode during the
recording monitor mode,
even when using the unit
on batteries.
• Changing the sampling
frequency while
recording may cause
temporary sound dropout
to be recorded.
• Noise may be recorded if
you set the MIC/LINE IN
switch during recording.
• Noise may be recorded
when the display light is
turned on while
recording. In this case,
turn it off.
• If appears when
the recording mode is set
to AUTO (AGC), set the
MIC ATT to 20dB or
move the microphone
away from the sound
source.
To monitor sound during recording
Plug the headphones in the REMOTE/2 jack or stereo
unit to the LINE OUT jack on the recorder.
To record relatively low sounds
Lower the recording level (in the manual recording
mode) and move the microphone as close as possible
to the sound source and then adjust the recording
level. Clear and optimum recording with minimal
noise interferences will be achieved.
Choosing microphones for better recording
The recording is affected by and is dependent upon
the type of microphones used. For better recording,
use the optional ECM-MS957 or ECM-MS907
microphone.
