Recording from a
microphone

Connect a stereo microphone (ECM-717,
etc.; not supplied) to the MIC (PLUG IN
POWER) jack. The recorder input
automatically switches to the externally
connected microphone input.

1

Insert a recordable disc and slide MIC
SENS to H (high) or L (low).

2

Press REC MODE repeatedly until
“STEREO”, “LP2”, “LP4”, or
“MONO” lights up in the display.
For details on the recording mode, see
“Recording for long times” (page 16).

3

Press zREC.
For other operations on recording, see
“Recording an MD right away!”
(page 11).

z

When using a plug-in-power microphone, no
battery is needed for the microphone since
power is supplied by the recorder.
If you are using the optional stereo microphone
ECM-717, set the 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. Do not use a
microphone with a short connector, as this
may cause the operating sound of the recorder
to be picked up.
