Recording audio from an external device with the synchronized recording function (SYNC REC)

You can make music files without using a computer by recording audio/music from the device (a radio cassette recorder, a tape recorder, TV, etc.) connected to your linear PCM recorder.

Hint

  • If the input audio volume is not loud enough, connect your linear PCM recorder to the headphones jack (stereo mini-jack) on the external device with an audio connection cable, and then adjust the volume of the external device while checking the peak level meters on the linear PCM recorder's display window for the recording volume level. For more information, see About the peak level meters.

  • If you attempt to start synchronized recording while recording is already in progress, the linear PCM recorder will stop recording.

    Repeat steps 4 and 5 once again.

  • During synchronized recording, you cannot use the Rehearsal function. Manually adjust the sensitivity.
