in a stable location where there is little vibration. 
Recording with external mics (MIC IN)
Connect an external mic to the MIC/EXT IN connector. 
Point the mics at the sound source and place the 
unit in a stable location where there is little vibration.
Recording an external device (EXT IN)
Use a stereo miniplug cable to connect to the

Other audio equipment 
or external sound source
CAUTION
Reduce the output level of the external audio device if the 
input sound is distorted even when reducing the input 
gain level on the unit.
When an external audio device with a fixed output line 
level is connected, it would be impossible to control the 
gain level appropriately because of excessively large 
input signals. In such cases, use the headphone jack or 
other level-controllable output for connection to the unit.
