RECORDING FROM THE MICROPHONE
■ Recording from the microphone
(Mic synchro recording)
The recording will begin automatically in
response to a noise or a person speaking.
When the sound stops, the recording will
pause. This function is convenient when
recording lectures, conferences, etc.
1
Connect the stereo microphone to the
MIC IN socket.
● When a microphone is connected to
this unit, the unit will automatically
switch to input from the microphone.
2
Insert a recordable MiniDisc.
(See page 11.)
● Adjust the recording level so that the
maximum sound volume from the
source makes the reading swing be-
tween –4 dB and 0 dB.
● When the recording level display is
changed from “MIC H 21” to “MIC L
20”, the sound will be interrupted mo-
mentarily.
This is normal.

Press the ENTER/SYNC button to se-
lect the synchro recording level. (This
level can be changed, even whilst re-
cording.)
● Refer to the following table.
● When the microphone input is set to
“MIC SYNC H”, recording will start
when the smallest noise is detected.
If the unit starts recording too often
from small unwanted noises, set the
microphone input to “MIC SYNC L”.
