Recording Adjusting recording levels The R-09HR is designed to record a wide variety of sounds, but it can also make high-quality recordings when a recording level (volume) appropriate for the sound to be recorded is set. Level settings should be the highest input level (volume) that has no distortion. This principle is the same for both the [Internal Microphone] and external microphones.
Page 46
Position the microphone so it faces the sound you intend to record. Point the R-09HR’s microphone toward the target for recording. Enter recording-standby mode. When the [REC Button] of the remote control on the [Main Screen] is pressed, the remote indicator blinks slowly, and the unit enters recording-standby mode.
Page 47
However, when the remote indicator blinks faster than usual, the input volume is too loud. The remote indicator blinks at a fast rate when the input volume has reached the maximum input volume that the R-09HR can record (clipping stage), and any louder sounds cannot be recorded at the original volume.
Recording Recording from cassettes or CDs The R-09HR can be used for recording instrumental performances and taking voice memos, but it can also be used to record cassettes or CDs using the [LINE IN Jack]. If a device or cable is connected to the [LINE IN Jack], input from the microphones is disabled. Therefore, it is not possible to mix microphone and line input during recording.
