About the external recording mode (external input/microphone)
For external input, you can use the LINE/MIC switch on the unit to set to LINE or MIC.
To use an external microphone
Slide the LINE/MIC switch to MIC. The external
recording mode is set to MIC and the screen displays
“MIC”. Connect the external input (line)/microphone
socket with a stereo microphone (sold separately) for
recording.
When purchasing an external microphone, make sure
the microphone meets the following recommended
specification.
Recommended specification:
• Type: Electret condenser/plug-in power system
• Impedance: 2 k
:
• Power: Guaranteed to operate at 1.3 V
• Plug: Mini-plug (3.5
I
)
If you set the “MIC MODE” setting to “ZOOM” and then use an external microphone for
recording, mono* recording will result.
* If PCM recording is used, the same sound is recorded on both L and R channels in stereo
format.
To connect to other audio devices
Slide the LINE/MIC switch to LINE.
The external recording mode is set to LINE and the
screen displays “LINE”.
• Recorded files are automatically stored in the LINE (L) folder.
