How to change folders:

• This recorder is designed to be able to
record cleanly and evenly, even in record-
ing conditions such as when the volume
of the source sound changes significantly.
However, even higher sound quality record-
ings can be achieved by adjusting the
recording level manually.
• If too big sound is input, the noise may
occur even if [
Rec Level] is set to [Auto]
or [
Limiter On]. Also, in certain cases the
[
PEAK] indicator light, which notifies large
input, may not light. To ensure successful
recordings, we recommend that you test the
record function and volume before use.
• When [
Rec Level] is set to [Auto] the record-
ing level will be adjusted automatically.
Set [
Rec Level] to [Manual] when using the
recording level adjustment function and the
limiter function
(☞ P.41, P.43).

Press the REC s button and prepare to
record.
