GUITAR/BASS
An electric guitar or bass can be connected to this jack. Since
this is a high-impedance input, a guitar or bass can be
connected directly.
MIC
These jacks allow a mic to be connected. Both standard TRS
jacks and XLR jacks are provided.
The standard TRS type allows for both balanced and
unbalanced connections.
* If both jacks are being used, the TRS jack is given priority.
* If you are recording an electric acoustic guitar using a shielded
connection, use the GUITAR/BASS jack.
LINE
When connecting to the output of a CD player, cassette
player, or other audio device, or to a rhythm machine,
external sound module, keyboard, or other sound source, use
the stereo input jacks.
Press the INPUT SELECT button of the
instrument that you want to record
Select the input source to record. The indicator of the selected
button will light.

[GUITAR/BASS]
Select to record the instrument connected to the GUITAR/
BASS jack.
[MIC]
Select to record the signal from a microphone connected to
the MIC jack or from the internal microphone.
When the MIC indictor for the INPUT SELECT button is lit,
you can use both the microphone connected to the MIC jack
and the internal microphone simultaneously.
* Your BR-532 is shipped with its internal microphone turned
on. When not using the internal microphone, be sure to turn it
off (see next section).
[LINE]
Select this when you wish to record the sound of an
instrument or CD player connected to the LINE jacks.
[SIMUL]
To record the vocal and guitar at the same time, press
[GUITAR/BASS] and [MIC] simultaneously. Both indicators
light, telling you that simultaneous recording is now
possible.
• When two recording tracks are selected, the GUITAR/
BASS is recorded to Track 1 (or 3), and the MIC is
recorded to Track 2 (or 4).
• When one recording track is selected, the GUITAR/
BASS and MIC are mixed and then recorded.
