These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation of the unit.

The manual should be saved and kept on hand as a convenient reference. [. . . ] If you want to record via the mic input jack, don't connect anything to the line input jack. Turn on the R-1's power as described in "Connecting the AC adaptor and turning on the power" (p. Specify the type of file you want to record, as described in "Types of files that the R-1 can handle" (p. If you want to hear (monitor) the sound while recording, connect a set of headphones to the phones jack and use them for monitoring. If you connect external speakers and attempt to use them for monitoring, acoustic feedback will occur, so don't attempt to monitor through speakers. The display indicates the remaining amount of time that the R-1 can record for the type of file (recording quality) you've selected. * The song name shown in Record Standby mode is the name of the file that will be newly created when recording is finished. Play (or perform) the sounds That you actually intend to record, and position your external microphone where it can pick up the sound. * 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. * If the material you are recording occasionally contains sudden loud sounds, such as the attack of a drum in a band performance or sudden laughter during a quiet conversation, we recommend that you use the Limiter (06 Limiter, p. 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 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. 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. 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. [. . . ] The settings I made have disappeared If all of the effects and Setup mode settings you made have returned to their original state, it is possible that you inadvertently restored the R-1 to its factory-set state. I used a USB cable to connect the R-1 to my computer, but it was not detected If the R-1 is in Setup mode, it will not be detected by your computer. Unplug the USB cable that connects the R-1 to your computer, exit Setup mode, and make the connection again. The effect parameter settings you edit are preserved as long as you don't change the effect type; if you change the effect type, the settings will revert to the initial values. [. . . ]
