output from the speakers may also be recorded, causing
a poor recording and even feedback.

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.
