• When “MIC AGC” is set to “LoudMusic”,
sound can be recorded with less distortion
during high volume input, and with natural
volume transitions similar to those of the
original.
• When using a plug-in power-type
microphone, the microphone can be operated
even when its power switch is turned off since
power is supplied from the recorder itself.
• The recorder automatically switches input in
the following order; optical input, microphone
input, and analog input. You cannot record
through the microphone while an optical cable
is connected to the LINE IN (OPT) jack.
• You cannot set the “MIC AGC” setting if you
are recording with the recording level
manually adjusted (page 38).
• The microphone may pick up the operating
sound of the recorder itself. Use the
microphone away from the recorder in such
cases. Please note that the sound of recorder
operations may be picked up if the
microphone that you use has a short
connector.
• Only the left-channel sound is recorded when
a monaural microphone is used.
• Make sure not to touch the plug or the cord of
the microphone when recording with the AC
power adaptor connected. Doing so may
introduce noise into the recording.
• When recording a normal volume sound (soft
music, etc.), set “MIC AGC” to “Standard”. If
an unexpectedly loud sound is input when
“MIC AGC” is set to “LoudMusic”, the
recorded volume thereafter may drop very
low, depending on the sound source.
