Roland R-09HR Owner's Manual page 46

Recording
The level meter indicates when louder sounds are being recorded by growing toward the right.
Adjust by pressing [Input Level Button] to allow for the loudest recording.
However, the input volume is too loud when the [PEAK Indicator] lights up.
When the [PEAK Indicator] is lit, the input volume has reached the maximum input volume that R-
09HR can record (clipping status), and any louder sounds cannot be recorded with the current
volume setting. The resulting recording will be severely distorted.

PEAK
Indicator lights up
Use the [Input Level Button] to adjust the volume so that the [PEAK Indicator] does not light up even
when the loudest sound is produced by the target. Doing this prevents clipping during the loudest
parts of a song or during instrumental passages played fortissimo.
Once the level is set, press the [REC Button] once more to start recording.
• Press the [STOP Button
settings are saved, press the [REC Button] again to start recording with the same input level.
• Some noise may be heard when the input level is being adjusted with the [Input Level Buttons]. This is
not a malfunction.
■ Adjusting recording levels using the remote control
The recording level can be adjusted using the remote indicator.
The remote indicator indicates either recording-standby mode or excessive input by the way
it blinks.
1.
Position the microphone so it faces the sound you intend to
record.
Point the R-09HR's microphone toward the target for recording.
2.
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.
Recording has not yet started while in this state.
