Problems with Recording
Problem Cause Page
Sound recorded from the mic is heard only
from the L (left) channel
If you’re using a mono mic, only the L (left) channel will be recorded.
If you use an external mic, check whether the mic is stereo or mono. In order to
record onto both channels using a mono mic, use the “Menu” screen to set the
external mic type to “MONO.”

Recording will not be possible if the microSD card has less than 16 kilobytes of free
space. Nor can you enter recording-standby mode.

p. 9
The microSD card will not work properly unless it was formatted on the R-07. If the
card was formatted using a computer, it might have the wrong format. In this case,
it might stop immediately after recording is started, or recording might not occur
correctly.

Recording will not occur correctly if the recording level specied by INPUT [+] [–] is
too low. Set the recording level appropriately.

Recording with a mono mic creates a stereo
le
The R-07 records in stereo. If you connect a mono mic, a stereo le with the same
sound on left and right (L, R) tracks will be created even if EXT Mic Type is set to
“MONO.”
p. 19
Volume of the device connected to the MIC/
AUX IN jack is too low
Could you be using a connection cable that contains a built-in resistor? Please use a
connection cable that does not contain a resistor.

File was divided unexpectedly
The R-07 will automatically divide the le if the le currently being recorded exceeds
a specied size, or if the recording level falls below a specied level. Set the Split
Type setting to specify the le size or recording level at which the le is to be
automatically divided.
