Looks like the only adjustments for line in level are "Lo-, Lo, Mid-, Mid, Mid+, Hi-, Hi, Hi+, Hi++ or AUTO."

IronFilm:
I guess when you're putting a lav on a person and you can't monitor it during the film scene, welllll... you can't do better than a vague guess at the levels. So who needs more detail than that?! :-/

One of the reasons it is a damn pity there is no option for dual safety track recording like the Tascam DR10L / DR10CS have. Hopefully Zoom will very quickly bring out a firmware update to fix this oversight (assuming this can be fixed by firmware, and isn't a hardware issue).

I don't see it either.  It would be a shame if it got deleted because there was some good info and photos in that thread.
