Basic operation 1. Power and usage The MR-1 contains a rechargeable battery that is convenient for mobile or outdoor use. If you're in a location where AC power is available, you can also use the MR-1 with the included AC adaptor. If the AC adaptor is connected, recharging will begin regardless of whether the power is on or off. Recharging will end automatically when the battery is full. Using the AC adaptor Plug the power cable of the included AC adaptor into an AC outlet. Connect the DC plug o

2. Connecting your monitor equipment Connect stereo headphones to the headphone jack. Use the volume buttons to adjust the vol- ume. If you're connecting the MR-1 to a monitor system, connect your stereo cable (mini) to the OUTPUT. Connecting headphones won't cut the sound from the output jacks. If you're recording from a mic, we recommend that you monitor through headphones to reduce the risk of acoustic feedback. 3.

4. Playing back the demo project The MR-1 contains a high-quality demo project that was recorded in DFF(DSDIFF) format. Here's how to play back this project. What is a project? When you record on the MR-1, two files are created; an audio file and a project file (contain- ing protection data and markers, etc.). These two files are collectively called a "project," and can be operated on the MR-1 as if they were a single audio file. (→p.44 "Hard disk structure and files") Playing back When you've t

6. Recording When you record on the MR-1, date and time information is automatically added to the file so that you can manage your projects more easily. If you set the date and time on the MR-1 (→p.28), the date and time will be correct. However, if the rechargeable battery does not have enough power to turn the MR-1 on and you let it sit for a few days, the date and time settings will be reset, so you'll need to set them correctly after recharging the battery.
