Using tone output
The tone output function can be used to automatically insert
a tone signal whenever recording starts and stops.
By connecting the /LINE OUT jack on the left side of the
unit and the external mic input jack of a digital SLR camera
and using the auto tone function, the same tone signal will
be recorded to files on both units. These tones can be used
as guides when synchronizing the files in video editing
software.
