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 IC recorder.
With the synchronized recording function turned on, the IC recorder pauses after 2 seconds of no audio input. When audio input resumes, it restarts recording, saving the audio to a new file.
Hint
- If the input audio volume is not loud enough, connect the audio connection cable from your IC recorder to the headphones jack (stereo mini-jack) on the external device, adjust the volume of the external device while checking on the peak meters [Details] on the IC recorder's display window.
- While no IC recorder operations are in progress, connect an external device (

(microphone) jack on the IC recorder.Use an audio connection cable to connect the audio output jack (stereo mini-jack) on the external device and the
(microphone) jack on the IC recorder.
