PEAK indicators
These indicate whether distortion is occurring in the sound
that is being input to the respective input jacks (MIC1, MIC2,
GUITAR/BASS, LINE).
The PEAK indicator will light at a level below clipping level. Adjust
the INPUT SENS knob as high as possible without causing the
PEAK indicator to light when the sound is input.
2
INPUT SENS knobs
These adjust the input sensitivity of the input jacks (MIC1,
MIC2, GUITAR/BASS, LINE).

INPUT SELECT buttons
Use these buttons to select the input source (input jack) that
you wish to record. The selected button will light. When you
press an INPUT SELECT button that is lit, it will go dark, and
the input sound will be muted (silenced).
• [MIC1]:
Select this when you wish to record the sound of a mic
connected to the MIC1 jack (phone or XLR).
* Do not use identically numbered phone-type and XLR-type MIC jacks
simultaneously.
INPUT SENS knobs
• [MIC2/Gtr/Bs]:
Select this when you wish to record the sound of a mic
connected to the MIC2 jack or the sound of an instrument
connected to the GUITAR/BASS jack.
* Do not use identically numbered phone-type and XLR-type MIC jacks
simultaneously.
• [LINE]:
Select this when you wish to record the sound of an
instrument or CD player connected to the LINE jacks.
• SIMUL [MIC1]+[MIC2]:
When you wish to record vocal and guitar simultaneously, or
when you wish to record two mics, press [MIC1] and [MIC2]
simultaneously. Both buttons will light, and can be recorded
simultaneously.
* If an instrument and mic are connected to both the GUITAR/BASS jack
and the MIC2 jack, respectively, the input from the GUITAR/BASS jack
will take priority. The input from the mic connected to the MIC2 jack
(phone-type/XLR-type) cannot be recorded.
• [DIGITAL]:
Select this when you wish to record the sound of a CD player
or MD player connected to the COAXIAL IN connector or
OPTICAL IN connector.
When you press [DIGITAL], the connected connector
(COAXIAL IN or OPTICAL IN) will be selected
automatically.
* If digital audio devices are connected only to coaxial connectors, you can
repeatedly press [DIGITAL] to cycle through lit (COAXIAL IN is
selected) blink OFF (mute).
* If digital audio devices are connected to both the optical and coaxial
connectors, the input from the COAXIAL IN will take priority. In this
case, you can repeatedly press [DIGITAL] to cycle through COAXIAL
IN OPTICAL IN OFF (mute).
* Digital audio signals cannot be recorded simply by connecting a digital
audio device to the OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector. If you wish to
recorded digital audio signals, you must change the settings as described
in "In order to make a Digital recording with CD player" (p. 148).
4
INPUT REC LEVEL knob
This adjusts the volume of the input source or the recording
level of the input source that you are recording.
* If you use the INPUT REC LEVEL knob to turn down the volume of the
input source during recording, the sound will be recorded in the audio
track or pad at a low volume, so that noise will be more apparent when
you raise the volume of the audio track or pad for playback. If you wish to
lower the volume of the input source you are hearing, use the MASTER
fader or the phone knob to lower the volume.
