[MIC]
Select to record the signal from a microphone connected to
the MIC jack or from the internal microphone.
When the MIC indictor for the INPUT SELECT button is lit,
you can use both the microphone connected to the MIC jack
and the internal microphone simultaneously.

on. When not using the internal microphone, be sure to turn it

instrument or CD player connected to the LINE jacks.

[GUITAR/BASS] and [MIC] simultaneously. Both indicators
light, telling you that simultaneous recording is now
possible.
• When two recording tracks are selected, the GUITAR/
BASS is recorded to Track 1, 3, 5, 7, and the MIC is
recorded to Track 2, 4, 6, 8.
• When one recording track is selected, the GUITAR/
BASS and MIC are mixed and then recorded.
