FAQ
Q: May I use a manganese battery ?
A: Do not use a manganese battery or NiCad battery. You may use an oxyride battery, but
Yamaha will not guarantee the operation. (The battery life would be about the same as that of
alkaline batteries.)
Q: Why do I hear a rustling noise in the recordings?
A: A rustling noise may be recorded if you move the unit during recording, or even if you move
your fingers while holding the unit when recording. If possible, try not to move the unit
during recording.
Q: How can I transfer the recordings onto tapes or MDs?
A: Use a standard audio cable (with 3.5mm mini plugs) to connect the unit to your tape
recorder or MD recorder, then dub the recordings to a tape or MD.
Compatible audio cable
* Use a stereo audio cable.
* Before dubbing the recordings, adjust the dubbing level on the unit.
* You can also dub the recordings from your tape player or MD player to the unit (see
Q: Are there any tips to making a good recording?
A: Try a test recording to set the optimum recording mode and sensitivity (see
), since
the recording condition varies with the location and circumstances.
Q: Does the available recording time specified in the manual apply to each file?
A: No, it refers to the available recording time on a microSD card. The available recording time
in each recording mode refers to the total time available for one continuous recording
without changing the recording mode, and assumes that no recorded files exist on the
microSD card. Therefore, if you record one file until the microSD card is full, you cannot
record further even if you change the file or folder.
