[. . . ] When using the Limiter, you should adjust the input level so that the symbol at the B position in the illustration appears only occasionally. Adjust the level so that the input level indicators shown in B the display do not reach the rightmost . (Position A in the above illustration) 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 you move the input volume control in Record Standby mode or during recording, the input level will change. Be careful that you don't operate the input volume control inadvertently. * The file name is created automatically, using this format: R1_0001. * The file is created at the root level of the CompactFlash card. How the input level meter indicates the signal level This section explain how to record audio from an external device via the line input jack. * The R-1 does not have a digital input jack. As an example, here's how to record from a CD player into the R-1. The microphone input is disabled if you connect a device or cable to the line input jack. This means that you cannot record the microphone input and line input mixed together. If something is connected to both the line input jack and the mic input jack, only the sound entering the line input jack will be recorded. Turn on the R-1's power as described in "Connecting the AC adaptor and turning on the power" (p.

[. . . ] When selecting a song, the song names are slow to appear If a file is damaged or invalid, if an MP3 file is in a format that the R-1 does not support, or if the file is very large, the R-1 may take some time to determine whether it is able to play the file even if the file has an extension of . This may cause the display to be slow when selecting files. Acoustic feedback occurs when monitoring through headphones If you're using open-air type headphones to monitor the sound while recording, moving close to the R-1 may allow sound from the headphones to be picked up by the microphones, causing acoustic feedback. The R-1's built-in microphones will pick up even faint sounds, so be careful not to get too close. [. . . ]
