Recording from a Microphone
–
Notes:
●
While making a mic recording, do not connect anything
to the OPTICAL/LINE IN jack on the portable MD.
●
To use a microphone, be sure it is a plug-in-power type
microphone.
•
When a plug-in-power type microphone is plugged
in, the portable MD will provide power for the
microphone’s operation.
•
If a different type of microphone is plugged in, it may
not operate properly or it may cause the unit to mal-
function.
●
Insert the plug firmly. If you don’t, the recording will not
be made properly.
●
Use a microphone with a 1/8" (3.5 mm) diameter stereo
mini plug.
●
If the unit starts recording too often from low unwanted
noises, set the microphone input to “MIC SYNC L”.
●
Recording sensitivity can be changed while recording.
