Recording An External Device (Line In); Setting The Input Types - Tascam DR-60D Owner's Manual

4 – Recording

Recording an external device (LINE IN)

Use stereo plug cables to connect to the output of an external audio
device.
Other audio equipment
or external sound source
CAUTION
•
Reduce the output level of the external audio device if the input
sound is distorted even when reducing the input gain level on the
unit.
•
When an external audio device with a fixed output line level is
connected, it would be impossible to control the gain level appro-
priately because of excessively large input signals. In such cases,
use the headphone jack or other level-controllable output for
connection to the unit.
