GUITAR/BASS:
An electric guitar or bass can be connected to this jack. Since
this is a high-impedance input, a guitar or bass can be
connected directly.
MIC:
These jacks allow a mic to be connected. Both standard TRS
jacks and XLR jacks are provided.
The standard TRS type allows for both balanced and
unbalanced connections.
* If both jacks are being used, the TRS jack is given priority.
* If you are recording an electric acoustic guitar using a shielded
connection, use the GUITAR/BASS jack.
LINE:
When connecting to the output of a CD player, cassette
player, or other audio device, or to a rhythm machine,
external sound module, keyboard, or other sound source, use
the stereo input jacks.
