When you start to use the MRS-4 for recording, you must choose whether to create a new song or

open an existing song for modification.

Connect the monitor system to the MASTER [L]/[R] jacks.

To use headphones for monitoring, connect them to the [PHONES] jack.

Make sure that a SmartMedia card is inserted in the SmartMedia card slot. Then

turn power on in the order MRS-4

➜ monitor system.

When the MRS-4 is turned on, it automatically checks whether the inserted SmartMedia

card already contains any songs.

●

When there are no songs on the SmartMedia card

A new song is automatically created, and the display shows the following information. This

display condition is called the "main screen". The main screen is the starting point for all

operations.

●

When there are songs on the SmartMedia card

The following two indications appear alternately on the display.

When you press the [ENTER/YES] key in this condition, a new song is created, and the

main screen appears. The recording will be automatically set to HiFi.

• If you press the [EXIT/NO] key at the above screen, or if no key is operated for 5

seconds, the most recent song is automatically read into the unit. (For information on

how to create a new song after a song has been read in, see page 47.)

• If required, change the recording grade setting (➝ p. 49).

Basic Operation

ZOOM MRS-4

Operation is divided into four major steps.

●

Step 1: Preparations for recording

Make the necessary connections and prepare to record a song.

●

Step 2: Recording the first track

Use the insert effect on the input signal if necessary and record the first track.

●

Step 3: Overdubbing

While listening to the recorded track, record the second and subsequent tracks

(overdubbing).

●

Step 4: Mixdown

Adjust the level, panning, and EQ for each recorded track, and apply the send/return

effect to create a stereo mix. Apply the mixdown effect to the signal, and then send the

result to the master recorder.

In the MRS-4, all data required to play a piece you have created is collectively referred to as a

"song".

A song contains the following information.

●

All recording data from the recorder section

●

All settings of the mixer section

●

All settings of the effect section

●

Other settings such as for metronome and tuner functions

Up to 15 songs can be stored on one SmartMedia card, provided that there is enough capacity. By

reading a song stored on a card back into the MRS-4, all previous settings are recreated (except

for fader setting positions).
