Sony MZ-RH1 - Manual (Page 34)

Notes
• Make sure to place the recorder at a stable,
vibration-free place during recording.
• If you start recording before the operation lamp
turns off, the first few seconds of the material may
not be recorded. Verify on the recorder that the
operation lamp is off before you start recording.
• 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.
• 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 connect the USB cable while the
recorder is operating. This may cause the recorder
to malfunction or noise to be output.
• Do not touch the microphone and its plug while
recording with the recorder connected to a wall
outlet. Doing so may introduce noise in the
recording.
• Do not move or jog the recorder or disconnect the
power source while recording, or while “DATA
SAVE” or “SystemFILE WRITING” (“DATA
SAVE” or “SYSTEM WRITE” on the remote) is
displayed. If you do, the data recorded up to that
point may not be recorded to the disc, or data on
the disc may be damaged.
• Recording cannot be done when the disc does not
have enough space for recording.
• If the power supply is disrupted (i.e. the battery is
removed or becomes exhausted or the AC power
adaptor is disconnected) during a recording or
editing operation, or while “DATA SAVE” or
“SystemFILE WRITING” (“DATA SAVE” or
“SYSTEM WRITE” on the remote) is displayed,
then it will not be possible to open the lid until
power is restored.

• 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.
• You can select the mode for adjusting the
microphone sensitivity or automatic recording level
adjustment mode to suit the sound source ( page
50).
• The recorder is factory set to make a new group
whenever recording is done. If you do not want to
make a group, set “Group REC” to “Off” ( page
51).
• To start recording from a specific point on the disc,
pause the recorder at the desired point, and then
start recording from that point.
• You can monitor the sound during recording.
Changing the volume level will not affect the
recording level.
• Once the clock is set, tracks are automatically
stamped with the time and date of recording (
page 61).
• It is preferable to use the recorder on house current
when using the recorder for a long time, especially
when recording.
