@ MIC ATTenuation switch
Usually this switch should be in the "O" position.
When recording an excessively high level sound source with a
microphone, use the switch for easier adjustment of mic level, to
prevent overloading the mic amp of the recorder; "15" attenuates
15 dB, and "30" will attenuate 30 dB.
© MIC input jacks
Any high-quality low-impedance microphone equipped with a
phone plug may be used. If your microphone is equipped with a
mini plug, aplug adaptor for converting to phone plug is required.
® MIC input level controls

these controls; inner knob for R channel and outer knob for L
channel.

While holding these buttons depressed, press the ® button to start
recording. The button lamps will light indicating that the recorder
is locked in record mode.
@ LINE input level controls

IN jack and outer knob for L LINE IN jack.
@ Tape counter and reset button

set the counter to [0000] by pushing the reset button. The figures
on the counter change as the tape passes. Make a note of the

@® PB LEVEL controls
Use the controls to match the recorder output level with other
sources connected to the amplifier.
These adjust the playback signal level of LINE OUT and HEAD-
PHONES jacks. Generally, set the controls at center position. First
set the inner knob (R channel) to the center click position and align
the outer knob (L channel) with the inner knob. For further infor-
mation, refer to page 10.
@ VU meters
With MONITOR selectors set at SOURCE, the meters show the rec-
ord level. With the selectors set at TAPE, the meters show the out-
put level of the LINE OUT and HEADPHONES jacks: O VU reading
corresponds to 0.435 V.
@ REC TIMER LOCK lever (only for timer-activated recording)
To make timer-activated recording, move this lever to the right
while depressing the RECORD buttons. The recorder will be locked
in record mode (RECORD buttons will not be released even with
the If button).
For usual recording, slide and set the lever at left position.
