• 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.
IMPORTANT NOTES Power Supply • 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 condi- tioner), 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.

• When using the recording as an audio track for a video, we recommend setting the frequency to 48 kHz. • The sampling frequency of a recorded song cannot be changed on the R-09HR. • When the sampling frequency is either 88.2 kHz or 96.0 kHz, MP3 cannot be selected with the Recording mode.
Estimated recording times The approximate recording time for memory cards is shown below. Recording time (estimate) Setting WAVE (24bit/96kHz) WAVE (24bit/88.2kHz) WAVE (24bit/48kHz) WAVE (24bit/44.1kHz) WAVE (16bit/96kHz) WAVE (16bit/88.2kHz) WAVE (16bit/48kHz) WAVE (16bit/44.1kHz) MP3 320kbps MP3 128kbps The above recording times are estimates. The times may change depending on the card specifications. Furthermore, the actual recording time is shorter when there are multiple files.
The internal microphone is a stereo microphone. The sound picked up by the microphone on the right side of the R-09HR is recorded on the right channel (R), while the sound that the microphone on the left captures is recorded on the left channel (L).

Connect the microphone. Connect a microphone to the [MIC Input Jack] on the R-09HR. To monitor the sound while recording, connect headphones to the [HEADPHONE jack]. Feedback may occur when external speakers are connected, so please do not use speakers.
Page 44
fig.rec-start-e.eps_80 Press the [REC Button]. Press the [REC Button] while in recording-standby mode (while the [REC Indicator] is blinking). The [REC Indicator] lights up, and recording begins. • Recording can also be started by pressing the [PLAY/PAUSE Button • If you slide the HOLD switch to the ON position after starting a recording, the recording will not stop nor will the recording level change even if a button is accidentally pressed.
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.
Page 46
Position the microphone so it faces the sound you intend to record. Point the R-09HR’s microphone toward the target for recording. Enter recording-standby mode. When the [REC Button] of the remote control on the [Main Screen] is pressed, the remote indicator blinks slowly, and the unit enters recording-standby mode.
Page 47
However, when the remote indicator blinks faster than usual, the input volume is too loud. The remote indicator blinks at a fast rate when the input volume has reached the maximum input volume that the R-09HR can record (clipping stage), and any louder sounds cannot be recorded at the original volume.
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.
Page 49
Connect the CD player. Use an audio cable to connect the line out jack on the CD player to the [LINE IN Jack] on the R-09HR. Adjust the input level. Adjust the input level while playing the song to be recorded on the CD player.

Be careful to not mistakenly use the [Input Level Button]. Press the play button on the CD player. The song playing on the CD player is recorded on the R-09HR. Waiting until the song finishes playing. fig.rec-stop-e.eps_80 Press the [STOP Button recording.
• The sound of the button clicking may be recorded when a file is split by pressing the button on the R-09HR unit while recording with the internal microphone. Please use the remote control in such situations.
Press the [NEXT button time. When “No Song” is shown, there is no song in the current folder that the R-09HR can play. When “No Card” is shown, there is no memory card in place. “Manipulating songs and folders” (p. 72)
• Any songs with an extension other than.WAV or.MP3 are ignored and are not shown. • The song names shown in the display do not support MP3 ID3 tagging. See “Song types that can be played” (p. 66) for songs that can be played back on the R-09HR. ■ Demo Songs The SD Memory Card has demo songs recorded on it.
Connect headphones or speakers to listen to playback. fig.basic-e.eps_80 • No sound is played from the R-09HR’s preview monitor when headphones or speakers are connected to the [Headphone Jack]. • You may still hear some sound when the power is switched on, but this is normal, and does not indicate a malfunction.
Rewinding and fast forwarding The song rewinds while the [PREV Button forwards while the [NEXT Button released, playback starts again. If the buttons are held down continuously, the rewind or fast forward speed increases. fig.rwdfwd-e.eps_80 Rewinding or fast forwarding during playback When rewinding or fast forwarding during playback a song, the rewind or fast forward operation on some memory cards may stop because the rate that the data can be read is too slow.
