2 Turn the jog dial until "Sens High" or "Sens Low" appears in the display, and then press NENT to enter the selection. Sens High: When recording a soft sound or a sound with a normal volume. Sens Low: When recording with a loud or close-range sounds, such as those during an oral recording or a music concert. To change the microphone recording level adjustment mode When recording with a microphone, you can select automatic adjustment mode which sets the microphone recording level to suit the sound source. 1 While the recorder is recording or stopped, enter the menu and select "REC Set" - "MIC AGC". 2 Turn the jog dial until "Standard" or "LoudMusic" appears in the display, and then press NENT to enter the selection. Standard: When recording a sound source with a normal volume, such as a conversation or soft music. LoudMusic: When recording a sound source with a comparatively high volume, such as a music concert or a practice session with a musical instrument. z • When "MIC AGC" is set to "LoudMusic", sound can be recorded with less distortion during high volume input, and with natural volume transitions similar to those of the original. • 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. 36 Notes • 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. • You cannot set the "MIC AGC" setting if you are recording with the recording level manually adjusted (page 38). • 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 touch the plug or the cord of the microphone when recording with the AC power adaptor connected. Doing so may introduce noise into the recording. • When recording a normal volume sound (soft music, etc.), set "MIC AGC" to "Standard". If an unexpectedly loud sound is input when "MIC AGC" is set to "LoudMusic", the recorded volume thereafter may drop very low, depending on the sound source.

Make sure not to touch the plug or the cord of
the microphone when recording with the AC

When recording a normal volume sound (soft
music, etc.), set “MIC AGC” to “Standard”. If
an unexpectedly loud sound is input when
“MIC AGC” is set to “LoudMusic”, the
recorded volume thereafter may drop very
low, depending on the sound source.
