The audio input circuitry is the essentially the same as 

on Lectrosonics SM and L Series transmitters. Any mi-

crophone wired as Lectrosonics “compatible” or “servo 

bias” will work with the MTCR. See page 10 for details.
If the unit is powered on with a card which hasn’t been 

formatted for the MTCR, a prompt to format the card will 

appear. Follow the on-screen instructions to format the 

card. If the card has an interrupted recording on it, the 

Recovery screen will appear.   
If there is no card in the MTCR or the card is not prop-

erly formatted, the Main Window appears. Settings are 

accessed by pressing MENU/SEL on the keypad, and 

then using the UP and DOWN arrow buttons and 

BACK

button to navigate the menu items and select functions. 

The buttons also provide alternate functions as labeled 

by the icons on the LCD.
