Recording from external equipment

You can make MP3 files without using the computer by recording sound from other equipment connected to the IC recorder.

When you select “Audio IN” in the “Scene Select” menu, the settings suitable for recording from other equipment are already selected.
Before you start recording, we recommend you make a trial recording first, or monitor the recording.
If the input level is not strong enough, connect the headphone jack (minijack, stereo) of other equipment to the jack of the IC recorder and adjust the volume level on the piece of equipment connected to the IC recorder while checking the recording level guide.

Connect a piece of external equipment () to the jack of the IC recorder when the IC recorder is in the stop mode.

Connect the audio output connector (stereo mini-plug) of other equipment to the jack of the IC recorder using an audio connecting cable (not supplied).

“Select Input” appears in the display window.

If “Select Input” is not displayed, set it in the menu.
