Notes
• It is recommended that you use the AC power
adaptor (not supplied) for long recordings.
• During monaural recording of a stereo sound
source connected through the digital (optical)
input jack, you can still monitor the recorded
sound in stereo by using headphones/
earphones connected to the i jack.
• When you record in LP4 mode, momentary
noise may be produced on very rare occasions
with certain sound sources. This is because of
the special digital audio compression
technology that enables a recording time 4
times longer than normal. If noise is produced,
it is recommended that you record in SP or
LP2 mode to obtain better sound quality.
Recording from a
stereo microphone
Connect a stereo microphone (ECM-719,
etc.) to the MIC (PLUG IN POWER)
jack. The recorder input automatically
switches to the externally connected
microphone input.

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.
If you are using the optional stereo microphone
ECM-719, set the power switch on the
microphone to OFF to allow the recorder to
provide power to the microphone. It is
recommended that you set the switch on the
microphone to OFF during use.
Notes
• You cannot record through the externally
connected microphone while an optical cable
is connected to the LINE IN (OPTICAL) jack.
The recorder automatically selects the
recorder input in the following order of
priority; optical input, externally connected
microphone input, analog (line) input, and
built-in microphones input.
• The microphone may pick up the operating
sound of the recorder itself (such as the sound
of the motor). 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.
