Recording
Configuring recording
You can set the sound quality to use when recording. Improving the sound quality increases the song size and decreases the recording time. When making a final recording of a performance, it is best to use WAV 16 bit or 24 bit to give priority to sound quality.
When making an audio CD, set the sampling frequency to 44.1 kHz and the recording mode to WAV 16 bit.
Test recordings and records of meetings do not usually require sound quality as good as that. For longer recordings that give priority to song size, use MP3 128 kbps at 44.1 kHz. Decide whether the sound quality or the recording time is to be given precedence, and make the settings accordingly.
Sampling frequency
(Default value is bold) 44.1 kHz 48 kHz 88.2 kHz 96.0 kHz
Sampling frequency values
The larger value provides better sound quality. When making a digital recording, the sound level is measured periodically, and that level is made into a digital signal. The sampling frequency is a value that defines the time interval and is expressed in kHz. A high sampling frequency is needed to faithfully reproduce high sounds.
Higher sampling frequencies result in larger song sizes and shorter recording times. 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.

WAV versus MP3

WAV songs (*.WAV) store all sound information without compression; MP3 songs (*.MP3) store songs using compression. Consequently, WAV songs have a better sound quality recording than MP3 songs. On the other hand, MP3 reduce data volume by removing frequencies that are hard for the human ear to hear.
When recording with MP3, the song size is smaller than the WAV setting recording, and a longer recording can be made.
bps and bit

The higher the value, the better the sound quality. The MP3 bps is the bit rate unit (bits per second). The bit rate indicates data transfer rates in number of bits sent per second. The WAV bit is used to represent the size of a sample. The sample size indicates the amount of precision used in capturing subtle changes in the sound. Larger sampling size values allow for more details of the sound to be expressed, and result in sound that is smoother and more natural.
Higher bps and bit values result in larger song sizes and shorter recording times. Software such as Windows Media Player cannot play back 24 bit WAV files. MP3 can be selected only when the sampling frequency is 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.

When connecting a dynamic microphone or a battery-powered microphone, be sure to use the [PLUG-IN POWER Switch] to set to off. Damage may result if the wrong setting is used. If a cable is connected to the [LINE IN Jack], then no sound is input through the [MIC Input Jack].
Dynamic microphone
The durable dynamic microphone is suitable for vocal or instrumental recordings. It does not require a power supply.
Condenser microphone
The sensitive condenser microphone is suitable for recording quiet sounds such as live instrumentals or meetings. It requires a power supply from either batteries or plug-in power.
Stereo Monaural
Use the <Menu Screen> to set the external microphone type to stereo (p. 101). Use the <Menu Screen> to set the external microphone type to monaural (p. 101).

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.

The level meter indicates when louder sounds are being recorded by growing toward the right. Adjust by pressing [Input Level Button] to allow for the loudest recording. However, the input volume is too loud when the [PEAK Indicator] lights up. When the [PEAK Indicator] is lit, the input volume has reached the maximum input volume that R09HR can record (clipping status), and any louder sounds cannot be recorded with the current volume setting. The resulting recording will be severely distorted.

Use the [Input Level Button] to adjust the volume so that the [PEAK Indicator] does not light up even when the loudest sound is produced by the target. Doing this prevents clipping during the loudest parts of a song or during instrumental passages played fortissimo.
Once the level is set, press the [REC Button] once more to start recording.
Press the [STOP Button ] to stop recording and return to the <Main Menu>. Because the level settings are saved, press the [REC Button] again to start recording with the same input level. Some noise may be heard when the input level is being adjusted with the [Input Level Buttons]. This is not a malfunction.
Adjusting recording levels using the remote control

The recording level can be adjusted using the remote indicator. The remote indicator indicates either recording-standby mode or excessive input by the way it blinks.

The further to the right the level meter moves, the greater the volume of the audio thats being recorded. Adjust by pressing the [Input Level Buttons] to allow for the loudest recording. 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. In such situations, the resulting recording will be severely distorted.

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. If there is sound input via both the [LINE IN Jack] and the [MIC Input Jack], only the sound from the line input is recorded.
This example describes recording from a CD player to the R09HR.

Troubleshooting
This section provides tips on solving problems that may occur.
Problems during recording

The recording only plays on the L channel (left)
If using an external microphone, check whether the microphone is set to stereo or monaural. If the microphone is a monaural one, only the L channel (left) is recorded. To record both channels using a monaural microphone, set the microphone type to MONO.
Setting the external microphone type (EXT Mic Type) (p. 101)
Recording wont start

Check the amount of space available on the memory card. Recording is impossible if there is less than 16 KB available. Recording standby cannot be entered either.
Estimated recording times (p. 36)
Cant use the microphone

When using the [Internal MIC], do not connect anything to the other input jacks. If a microphone, cable, or device is connected to the [MIC Input Jack] or [LINE IN Jack], the [Internal MIC] cannot be used.
MIC INPUT jack (p. 11), LINE IN jack (p. 11), Using the internal microphones (p. 37)
When using an external microphone, please do not connect anything to the [LINE IN Jack]. If a microphone, cable, or other device is connected to the [Line In Jack], then the input from the [MIC Input Jack] is ignored.
MIC INPUT jack (p. 11), LINE IN jack (p. 11), Using external microphones (p. 41)
When using an external microphone, make sure to choose the settings appropriate for the microphone being used.
Set the type of microphone being used. (p. 43)
Is a phantom powered microphone connected? The R-09HR does not support phantom powered microphones.
The recording is distorted

Sound becomes distorted if the input level is too high. Set the input level to an appropriate value.
110
Troubleshooting
Recorded files cannot be played back.

If an adaptor is mistakenly unplugged or a card is removed during recording, files can get damaged, making it impossible to play them back. The file repair feature can be used to repair such files.
Repair files (Repair) (p. 80)
Cant record
Recording is not possible if there is insufficient remaining time. The remaining recording time is shown in the display in recording-standby mode. There is no remaining time if 00:00:00 is shown. Check the amount of free space on the memory card.
Estimated recording times (p. 36)
Recording is not possible if the memory card is not inserted properly. The display shows No Card when the memory card is not recognized. Turn off power and re-insert the memory card.
Inserting (p. 25)
If the memory card is not formatted, the memory card is not recognized, and the display shows SD unformatted. Format the memory card.
Formatting (p. 27)
Recording is not possible if the write protect (LOCK) feature is turned on. Unlock the write protect feature.
SD Memory Card (p. 28)
Recording cannot be performed correctly if the input level set with the [INPUT LEVEL buttons] is too low. Set a proper input level.
When using an external microphone, connect it properly to the [MIC Input Jack]. Also check the [EXTERNAL MICROPHONE TYPE Switch] settings.
MIC GAIN switch (p. 13)
Memory cards must be formatted on the R-09HR to operate properly. Memory cards formatted on a PC may have the wrong format type. In these cases, the recording may stop immediately after starting, or a proper recording may not be possible.
Formatting (p. 27)
A stereo song is created although a monaural microphone was used for recording.
The R-09HR records in stereo. Even if a monaural microphone is connected and the [EXTERNAL MICROPHONE TYPE Switch] is set to MONO, a stereo song with the same sound recorded on both the L and R tracks is created.
The volume of the device connected to the LINE IN Jack is low

Does the cable you are using have resistance? Please use a connecting cable that has no resistance.

Troubleshooting
Problems during playback

Theres no sound
The sound may not be heard if the output volume is too low. Increase the output volume gradually.
(+) and (-) VOLUME buttons (p. 12)
Check if the headphones or speakers are connected properly.

Connecting headphones and speakers (p. 54)
Cant play songs

Check if the song name is correct. Songs beginning with a . (period) cannot be used on the R-09HR. The R-09HR can only play songs with the.MP3 or .WAV extensions. Also, corrupted songs cannot be played.
Song types that can be played (p. 66) Changing the name (Rename) (p. 76) Message list (p. 108)
The wrong song is played

The song playback mode may be in shuffle play (SHUFFLE). In this mode, the R-09HR randomly selects the next song to be played. Change the setting to normal play (SEQUENTIAL).
Setting the song playback mode (Play Mode) (p. 88) Shuffle play (p. 60)
Theres no sound from the preview monitor

Could Preview Monitor be set to Disable?

Troubleshooting
Miscellaneous problems
The power wont turn on
Check if the AC adaptor is properly connected. If using batteries, make sure the batteries are inserted correctly in the correct orientation. The batteries may also be low, so have new batteries on hand.
Turning power on/off (p. 20)
If the R-09HR still does not turn on even though there is no problem with the AC adaptor or batteries, the unit may be damaged.
The PC wont recognize the R-09HR even after connection

The PC will not recognize the R-09HR if there is no memory card inserted. Check if a memory card is inserted if the R-09HR does not appear on the PC desktop.
Inserting (p. 25)
Pressing and holding down the [MENU Button] does not show the <Menu Screen>.
While playing, recording, or in recording standby, pressing the [MENU Button] does not make the <Menu Screen> appear. First, stop playback or recording, then press the [MENU Button].
The display darkens

When running on battery power, the display may darken when there are no operations, depending on the Display Timer settings.
Setting the time until the screen is darkened when no operations are performed for a set period of time (Display Timer) (p. 96)
The power turns off suddenly

If no operations are performed for a set period of time, the power may automatically turn off according to the Auto Power Off settings.
Setting the time until the power turns off when no operations are performed for a set amount of time (Auto Power Off) (p. 98)
When using batteries, the power will turn off if the batteries are low. Replace with new batteries.
The Remote Control cannot be used

Is Remote Control set to Disable? Is the remote control battery inserted properly?
113
Troubleshooting
Malfunction
Malfunctions can be avoided by setting the Remote Control to Disable.
The settings disappear

If all the settings in the <Menu Screen> are restored to factory defaults, the R-09HR may have been accidentally reset to factory defaults. Please reconfigure the settings.
Initializing the R-09HR (Factory Reset) (p. 107)
The R-09HR is connected to the PC with a USB cable, but the PC doesnt recognize it
The PC will not recognize the R-09HR if the connection is made while the <Menu Screen> is showing or during playback or recording. First, disconnect the USB cable connecting the R09HR to the PC, and then try again.
Connecting to the PC (p. 67)
Displaying the song name is slow when selecting a song

This problem may be caused by a corrupted song, illegal song format, unsupported MP3 format, a song that is too large, or a song with an .MP3 or .WAV extension that is taking time to verify on the R-09HR as playable. These conditions cause the display to be sluggish when selecting a song.
Song types that can be played (p. 66)
Feedback occurs when monitoring with headphones

If open air headphones are used to monitor recording, feedback may occur if the headphones are too close to the R-09HR. The R-09HRs internal microphones are capable of picking up even the faintest of sounds, so do not move too close to the R-09HR.
The internal clock resets

The internal clock takes power from the AC adaptor or batteries to operate when power is turned on. When the power is off, the internal clock will run temporarily on the power stored in the unit, but if the power is off for several days, the internal clock settings return to the original settings (initial status). When power is turned on in initial status, the message Clock Initialized is shown.
