Tips for better recording
otn
albeof
etns
There are ways of making better recordings other than using scene selection.
Recording at a meeting
By placing the IC recorder on a handkerchief,
etc. substituting for a stand, you can record
with clear, low-noise sound, without vibration
noise from the desk.
Idne
x
Recording a voice note
By placing the IC recorder close to one side of
your mouth, you can prevent breathing on the
built-in microphones, and record with clear
sound.
Recording an interview
Place the IC recorder so that the built-in
microphones face the interviewee.
Recording a music performance
By attaching a tripod (not supplied) or placing the
recorder on a stand or table, you can adjust the
angle of the IC recorder and the built-in
microphones more precisely.
When recording a chorus or piano performance,
for example, place the IC recorder on a table
approximately 2 to 3 meters (80 to 120 in.) from
the performer(s). Set up the IC recorder with the
display window facing up, and with the built-in
microphones pointing towards the sound source.

Precautions
etns
On power
Operate the unit only on 1.2 V or 1.5 V DC. Use one NH-AAA rechargeable
battery or one LR03 (size AAA) alkaline battery.
Idne
x
On safety
Do not operate the unit while driving, cycling or operating any motorized
vehicle.
On handling
Do not leave the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit, remove the battery and
have the unit checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
Be careful not to allow water to splash on the unit. The unit is not water-
proof. In particular, be careful in the following situations.
When you have the unit in your pocket and go to the bathroom, etc.
When you bend down, the unit may drop into the water and may get wet.
When you use the unit in an environment where the unit is exposed to
rain, snow, or humidity.
In circumstances where you get sweaty. If you touch the unit with wet
hands or if you put the unit in the pocket of sweaty clothes, the unit may
get wet.
You may feel pain in your ears if you use the headphones when the ambient
air is very dry. This is not because of a malfunction of the headphones, but
because of static electricity accumulated in your body. You can reduce static
electricity by wearing non-synthetic clothes that prevent the emergence of
static electricity.
On noise
Noise may be heard when the unit is placed near an AC power source, a
fluorescent lamp or a mobile phone during recording or playback.
Noise may be recorded when an object, such as your finger, etc., rubs or
scratches the unit during recording.
On maintenance
To clean the exterior, use a soft cloth slightly moistened in water. Then use a
soft dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit, please consult
your nearest Sony dealer.

Idne
Symptom
Cause/Remedy
x
You cannot display or play
back music files in order.
If you have transferred music files using your computer,
those files may not be transferred in order of transfer
because of system limitations. If you transfer music files
from your computer to the IC recorder one by one, you can
display and play back the music files in transferred order.
A file is divided
automatically.
The file being recorded has reached the maximum size
limit (2 GB for an LPCM file, and 1 GB for an MP3 file).
Therefore it is automatically divided.
You cannot enter lower-
case characters.
Depending on the combination of the characters used for
the folder name that was made on your computer, those
characters may change to all capitals.
“” is displayed in place
of a folder name, title,
artist name, or file name.
A character which cannot be displayed on the IC recorder
has been used. Using your computer, replace it with one
which can be displayed on the IC recorder.
When you set A-B repeat
playback, the set positions
move a little.
The remaining recording
time becomes shorter
when you divide a file.
Depending on the files, the set positions may move.
You need a certain amount of free space for a file
management area to divide a file, therefore the remaining
recording time will be shortened.

Listening for a Lifetime
etns
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only
the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can
maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer,
the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)® and the American Speech-
Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) want you to get the most out of your
equipment by playing it at a safe level; a level that lets the sound come through
clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without
damaging your sensitive hearing.
Idne
x
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to
higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and
harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe
level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
TO ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:
Set your volume control to the lowest level where you can hear the music
comfortably and clearly. Prolonged exposure to anything over 85 decibels can
cause gradual hearing loss.
Once you have established a sound level where you can hear the audio
comfortably, clearly and without distortion, set the dial and leave it there.
See if your music player has a volume limiter that allows you to set a safe
listening level by establishing a maximum volume level on your player. This is
a great solution for parents to ensure their children listen at a safe level.
Limit listening time to give your hearing “quiet breaks.”
BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES WHEN
WEARING YOUR HEADPHONES OR EARBUDS:
Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear sounds around you.
Do not use headphones or earbuds while operating a motorized vehicle; it
may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide years of fun and
enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it
is too late, this manufacturer, CEA and ASHA recommend that you avoid
prolonged exposure to excessive noise. The following list of sound levels is
included for your information so that you can better protect your hearing.
