Here’s how to adjust the input level of the input jacks (MIC 1/
MIC 2/GUITAR/LINE IN jacks) to which you’ve connected
mics or instruments.

1

While you listen to the sound, turn the
appropriate level knob to adjust the input
level.

The different input jacks are controlled by the
following level knobs.

POINT

POINT

For best results, adjust the level so that the level meter
briefly reaches “-3 dB” when you play strongly or
speak loudly.

MEMO

• Adjust [OUTPUT LEVEL] so that you can comfortably

listen to the connected instrument or mic. Adjusting this
volume will not affect the sound (input level) that’s
being recorded.

Page 25, “Adjusting the Volume”

If you’re playing back a music CD or CF card while recording
an additional vocal or instrument “layered” onto it (

Page

CF card to create the correct balance.
In such cases, you can adjust the playback level of the music
CD or CF card to create the desired balance.

you’re playing.

playback. This is normal and does not indicate a
malfunction.

and will be cleared when you turn off the power. It will
be returned the original playback level the next time you
turn on the power. If you want to keep the playback
level setting, make settings as described in
