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.

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.

Use the [Input Level Buttons] to adjust the volume so that the remote indicator does not blink faster (clipping stage is not reached) even when the loudest sound is produced by the recording target. Doing this prevents clipping during the loudest parts of a song or during instrumental passages played fortissimo. Once the level setting is finished, press the [REC Button] on the remote control once more to start recording.
Press the [STOP Button ] to stop the recording. Because the level settings are maintained, the [REC Button] can be pressed again to start recording at 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.

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.
