Notes:
eAfter setting the Volume Control of the unit to its
minimum position, adjust the volume and tone of
the stereo amplifier.
elf the volume level of the TV or other equipment is
too loud during recording, the recorded sound will
be distorted. Set the volume of the TV or other
equipment to the usual listening level.
eWhen setting the Power Switch, you may hear a
clicking through the speaker. Therefore, always set
the volume control of the stereo amplifier to its
minimum position before setting this switch.
@ Monitoring
The monitor system enables you to listen, through the
speakers or headphones, to the sound as it is being
recorded. Sound can be monitored in the following ways:
eWhen recording from a sound source connected to the
Microphone Jacks or Phono/Line Input Jacks, the sound
being recorded can be monitored through the speakers or
headphones.
eWhen recording through external microphones, use the
headphones to monitor the sound.
If it is necessary to adjust the volume level of the sound
being monitored, do so by using the Volume Control.
Note:
If external microphones are placed too close to the
speakers, feedback (howling) may be heard. If so,
place the microphones as far away from the speak-
ers as possible, or reduce the volume.
