New functions

V1.10 additions

You can now set the

EXT IN

input levels for

the left and right channels independently.

If the input selection on the

REC MODE

screen

(

SOURCE

or

EXT IN

) is set to

EXT INDEP.

, you

can set the

EXT IN

input levels of the left and right

channels independently.

When the Home Screen is open, you can use the

INPUT

LEVEL

(+/–) buttons on the left side panel to adjust the

input level.

Use the following buttons to switch between adjusting

the input levels of the left and right channels.

When the

•

REC MODE

item is set to

STEREO

,

DUAL

or

OVERDUB-SEPARATE

, use the

1/2

[

SOLO

] button.

When the

•

REC MODE

item is set to

4CH

or

OVERDUB-MIX

, use the

3/4

[

SOLO

] button.

NOTE

When the

SOURCE

item on the

EFFECT

screen is set

to

EXT IN

or

INT MIC

and an effect is applied to

the input signal, elements of both left and right channels

will be included in the effect sound, so sound from the

opposite channel will be mixed into the recorded signal.

When the input selection on the

REC MODE

screen

(

SOURCE

or

EXT IN

) is set to

EXT IN 1/2

, the

EXT IN

input level will be the same for both left and

right channels.

The delay time range when the

REC MODE

item is set to

4CH

has been expanded.

The delay time can now be set to a maximum of 150 ms.

The delay time when the

REC MODE

item is

set to

4CH

can now be set independently for

left and right channels.

If there are differences in the distances from the sound

source to the

INT MIC

, to the

EXT IN L

channel

and to the

EXT IN R

channel, you can compensate

for the time lag by treating the

INT MIC

as the basic

position and then adjusting the

EXT IN L

and

EXT

IN R

channel delay times.

The input level setting pull-up menu has

been changed so that its items correspond to

the input source.

V1.02 additions

Right external input channel muting when

recording 4 channels

When the

REC MODE

item is set to

4CH

on the

REC

MODE

screen, a new function has been added that allows

the right external input channel to be muted by setting

the

EXT IN

item to

EXT IN 1

. This function allows

you to use a mono mic on the left external input channel

with the built-in mics for three-channel recording.

The files created, however, will still be two stereo files with

the right external input channel muted.

NOTE

When the

•

EXT IN

item is set to

EXT IN 1

,

effects cannot be used when recording

If you want the left external input channel to be

•

centered when monitoring, press the

MIXER

button

during recording or recording standby and set the

channel 3

PAN

to

C

(center) on the

MIXER

screen.
