Recording tutorial

The following shows how to record high quality
audio to the recorder. In this example, two micro-
phones are used and the unit runs on batteries.

Preparations

1. Insert four alkaline or rechargeable nickel hydride
AA batteries to the battery compartment on the
right side panel.
To remove battery compartment, open the bat-
tery compartment cover and pull up the ribbon
attached to the battery compartment.
2. Insert a new SD card to the [SD-CARD] slot.
The [SD-CARD] slot is located inside the battery
compartment cover.
To set an SD card to the slot, hold an SD card
with the label side facing to the battery compart-
ment, and press the card into the slot until you
hear a click.
3. Connect two microphones to [INPUT] connectors
1 and 2 on the left side panel.
4. Connect headphones to the [PHONE] connector
on the right side panel.
Set the following switches and control for each in-
put signal appropriately.
5. When you use a condenser microphone that re-
quires phantom power, set the phantom power
switch above the [INPUT] connector to "P48".
6. Set the [PAN] switch on the front panel to L
(left), R (right) or C (center) depending on which
track(s) you want to record audio onto.
7. Set the [GAIN] switch and the level control on
the front panel appropriately depending on the
microphone sensitivity and audio source volume.
If the [PK] indicator lights in red frequently, set
the [GAIN] switch to a more left position. The
more right position of this switch provides higher
sensitivity.
If the "OL" of the level meter on the display
lights, turn the level control down (counterclock-
wise).
