Using the AUTO TONE function

The AUTO TONE function can be used to automatically
insert a tone signal whenever recording starts and
stops.
When connecting this unit to a digital SLR camera, for
example, connect the attenuator cable included in the
AK-DR11C accessory kit (sold separately) to the /LINE
OUT jack on the left side of the unit and the external
mic input jack of the camera. If the auto tone function
is used when connected, the same tone signal will be
recorded to the files on both units. These tones can be
used as guides when synchronizing the files in video
editing software.
