I initially posted here:
http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=133918.0and got some useful advice on general taping issues.
Can anyone answer these two specific issues with the R-09HR?
Is there a way of connecting mics to the R-09HR so that I don't end up with a couple of inches of hard plastic/metal casing protruding from the side, to wrench around and break the input socket? A right-angle connector would seem the obvious solution, but I've heard they're prone to adding noise of their own to recordings if they get moved?
How can I stop those blindingly bright red lights on the R-09HR? The one for the remote control, and the square one around the 'record' button.
Thank you.
