USING THE UNIT SAFELY The symbol alerts the user to important instructions or warnings.The specific meaning of the symbol is determined by the design contained within the triangle. In the case of the symbol at left, it is used for general cautions, warnings, or alerts to danger. Used for instructions intended to alert the user to the risk of death or severe injury should the unit be used improperly.
015 • Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to share an outlet with an unreasonable number of other devices. Be especially careful when using extension cords—the total power used by all devices you have connected to the extension cord’s outlet must never exceed the power rating (watts/ amperes) for the extension cord. Excessive loads can cause the insulation on the cord to heat up and eventually melt through. .............................................................................................
IMPORTANT NOTES Power Supply 301 • Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise.
555 • A small amount of noise may be heard from the display during normal operation. 556 • When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements. 558a • To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).

Recording Configuring recording You can set the sound quality to use when recording. Improving the sound quality increases the song size and decreases the recording time. When making a final recording of a performance, it is best to use WAV 16 bit or 24 bit to give priority to sound quality. When making an audio CD, set the sampling frequency to 44.1 kHz and the recording mode to WAV 16 bit. Test recordings and records of meetings do not usually require sound quality as good as that.
Recording Recording mode Recording mode MP3 64 kbps MP3 96 kbps MP3 128 kbps MP3 160 kbps MP3 192 kbps MP3 224 kbps MP3 320 kbps WAV 16 bit WAV 24 bit ■ WAV versus MP3 WAV songs (*.WAV) store all sound information without compression; MP3 songs (*.MP3) store songs using compression. Consequently, WAV songs have a better sound quality recording than MP3 songs. On the other hand, MP3 reduce data volume by removing frequencies that are hard for the human ear to hear.

Recording Adjusting recording levels The R-09HR is designed to record a wide variety of sounds, but it can also make high-quality recordings when a recording level (volume) appropriate for the sound to be recorded is set. Level settings should be the highest input level (volume) that has no distortion. This principle is the same for both the [Internal Microphone] and external microphones. 1. Point the microphone used for recording. Point the R-09HR microphone toward the target for recording. fig.
Recording The level meter indicates when louder sounds are being recorded by growing toward the right. Adjust by pressing [Input Level Button] to allow for the loudest recording. However, the input volume is too loud when the [PEAK Indicator] lights up. When the [PEAK Indicator] is lit, the input volume has reached the maximum input volume that R09HR can record (clipping status), and any louder sounds cannot be recorded with the current volume setting. The resulting recording will be severely distorted.
Recording 3. Play the sound to record into the microphone. fig.inputlevel-e.eps_80 4. Adjust the volume. Volume Adjust the input volume gradually by pressing the [Input Level Buttons] on the remote while the sound is playing. High Low The further to the right the level meter moves, the greater the volume of the audio that’s being recorded. Adjust by pressing the [Input Level Buttons] to allow for the loudest recording.
Recording Recording from cassettes or CDs The R-09HR can be used for recording instrumental performances and taking voice memos, but it can also be used to record cassettes or CDs using the [LINE IN Jack]. If a device or cable is connected to the [LINE IN Jack], input from the microphones is disabled. Therefore, it is not possible to mix microphone and line input during recording. If there is sound input via both the [LINE IN Jack] and the [MIC Input Jack], only the sound from the line input is recorded.

.Message list This section describes the main messages shown on the display. Message Problem Clock Initialized The internal clock was initialized because no power was available. Battery Low The remaining power of the internal battery is low. The battery must be replaced. The AC adaptor may also be used. Improper Song The song is in a file format that cannot be used with the R-09HR. Already Exists There is a song or folder of the same name. Create the song or folder using a different name.
Message list Message Problem SD Card Full The memory card does not have sufficient space available. Copy the song to the PC and check the memory card capacity. SD Card Slow The write to the memory card was too slow. Use a memory card that was tested for the R-09HR. The performance of the memory card may have decreased because of improper song organization on the memory card, which was caused by repeated saving and deleting. In this case, re-format the memory card. SD Card Locked The memory card is locked.
Troubleshooting This section provides tips on solving problems that may occur. Problems during recording The recording only plays on the L channel (left) • If using an external microphone, check whether the microphone is set to stereo or monaural. If the microphone is a monaural one, only the L channel (left) is recorded. To record both channels using a monaural microphone, set the microphone type to “MONO.” “Setting the external microphone type (EXT Mic Type)” (p.
Troubleshooting Recorded files cannot be played back. • If an adaptor is mistakenly unplugged or a card is removed during recording, files can get damaged, making it impossible to play them back. The file repair feature can be used to repair such files. “Repair files (Repair)” (p. 80) Can’t record • Recording is not possible if there is insufficient remaining time. The remaining recording time is shown in the display in recording-standby mode. There is no remaining time if 00:00:00 is shown.
Troubleshooting Problems during playback There’s no sound • The sound may not be heard if the output volume is too low. Increase the output volume gradually. “(+) and (-) VOLUME buttons” (p. 12) • Check if the headphones or speakers are connected properly. “Connecting headphones and speakers” (p. 54) Can’t play songs • Check if the song name is correct. Songs beginning with a “.” (period) cannot be used on the R-09HR. • The R-09HR can only play songs with the.MP3 or .WAV extensions.
Troubleshooting Miscellaneous problems The power won’t turn on • Check if the AC adaptor is properly connected. If using batteries, make sure the batteries are inserted correctly in the correct orientation. The batteries may also be low, so have new batteries on hand. “Turning power on/off” (p. 20) • If the R-09HR still does not turn on even though there is no problem with the AC adaptor or batteries, the unit may be damaged.
Troubleshooting Malfunction • Malfunctions can be avoided by setting the Remote Control to “Disable.” The settings disappear • If all the settings in the
are restored to factory defaults, the R-09HR may have been accidentally reset to factory defaults.
