Dual recording file names
Dual recording allows two files to be recorded simultaneously.
The name of the backup recording is the same as the file
name of the main recording with “DXX” added to it. The “XX” in
“DXX” is the DUAL LVL setting value.

not have the expected result.

Recording 3 or 4 channels
You can use the built-in mics and connect external mics or
other equipment to record three or four channels.
The recordings will be saved as two stereo files (channels 1/2
and channels 3/4).
If the INT MIC, EXT IN L channel and EXT IN R channel are
different distances from their sound sources, you can set time
delays for the EXT IN L and EXT IN R channels to compensate,
using the INT MIC position as the baseline.
