The R-1 enters recording-
standby mode. The display
indicates the remaining amount

created when recording is finished.

On the device that’s connected to the
line input jack
, play back the sounds that
you want to record. In this example, play back a CD on your CD player.
* If you want to apply an effect to the sound while you record it, adjust the input level while
the effect is turned on (i.e., applied).

If the recording level is too low, you won’t be able to record very soft sounds. If the
recording level is too high, loud sounds will be distorted, causing crackles in the
recorded sound.
If the sound still distorts or is too soft even after you’ve used the R-1’s
input volume
control to adjust the input level, try adjusting the volume
of your CD player or other playback device.
* If the material you are recording occasionally contains sudden loud sounds, we recommend
that you use the Limiter (
06 Limiter
, p. 54). When doing so, adjust the input level
appropriately for the principal type of sound you are recording—not for the sudden loud
sounds that sometimes occur.
When you use the Limiter, the input level is automatically adjusted so that the audio input
level doesn’t get excessively high. When using the Limiter, you should adjust the input level
so that the

symbol at the
position in the illustration appears only occasionally.
