Insufficient volume from 
a device connected to 
the EXT MIC
 
 (L/MONO, R)
 
 
/LINE IN jacks
 
 
Could you be using a connection cable that contains an internal 
resistor?
 
 
Use a connection cable—such as one from the Roland PCS series— that 
does not contain an internal resistor.
 
 
 
Could the external mic’s sensitivity be set to “Low”?
 
 
If the sound from the external mic is still not loud enough even after 
you’ve adjusted the input level, set the “EXT MIC Sens” to “High.”
 
The sound recorded via 
the internal mics is not 
loud enough
 
 
Have you adjusted the input level of the internal mics?
 
 
Turn the [MIC] knob to raise the input level of the internal mics.
 
The recorded sound is 
noisy or distorted
 
 
Is the input level adjusted appropriately?
 
 
Adjust the input level so that the peak indicator lights briefly when loud 
sounds are input.
 
 
 
Could the input level be raised for a jack to which no device is 
connected?
 
 
Even if no device is connected, we recommend that you turn down the 
input level—turn the knob all the way to the left—for everything other 
than the audio source you’re recording.
 
 
 
Could the [MIC SELECT] switch be in the “INT” position?
 
 
Even though you thought you were recording using an external mic, a 
noisy recording may indicate that you were actually recording through 
the internal mics. If you want to record using an external mic, set the 
[MIC SELECT] switch to the “EXT” position.
 
 
 
Is the output level set correctly?
 
 
If you raise the output level too high, noise or distortion may occur in 
the sound from the internal speakers. Turn the [OUTPUT LEVEL] knob to 
adjust the volume.
 
An unwanted effect is 
applied to the sound
 
 
Could you have selected a reverb?
 
 
Turn the reverb “Off.”
 
Volume changes are not 
recorded correctly 
according to the actual 
performance
 
 
Could the [MIC LEVEL] switch be set to the “AUTO” position?
 
 
The “AUTO” position is suitable for recording human voices at a 
meeting or lecture, and may be unsuitable for recording an instrumental 
performance. Change the setting to “MANUAL,” and turn the [MIC] 
knob to adjust the input level.
