Topic: edirol r-9 red light when vol adj

[bonghitwillie]

just got this thing.  i have 1.3 firmware.  i am in power save mode.  when you hit rec/play the red light goes out after 2 seconds.  if you change the volume, the red light goes on and then off after 2 sec.  if i put light length to none in the menu, the red light stays on.  is this corerct?  is there a way to keep the red light off entirely?  thx in advance.

Tape over it.
Maybe with a darkish plastic like in the garbage cans.

Why adjust volume? I never ever do that.

why adjust the volume?  i just got the thing.  i have no idea where the vol should be set.  i used it for the first time last night at a pretty quiet show. i used mic low.  which i guess is mic with a pad.  i had it up to 30.  the clapping almost made it up to 0.  the music was low.  i should have had it at full mic level(mic hi). until i get a handle on how this thing responds, i gotta adj the vol between songs.  plus i am almost always stealthing.

I think by "adjust the volume" you actually mean "adjust the input levels."  Opposite sides of the R-09.  No reason to adjust the volume, except maybe if you're monitoring, which I assume you wouldn't be doing S+34L+hin6.

Jobseek2001 is right on about the tape.

The first day I got mine I cut a small piece of electrical tape that just covers the part that lights up and then put a somwhat bigger piece of clear packing tape over it to be sure it stays in place. Stays on great and you can't see the light at all if you put the electrical tape on right.

Wish I also had an easy fix for the hard to open battery door, but NiMhs last so long I don' think I'll ever need to change batteries in the dark.

i am using 8g transend cards + rechargable 2650 duracells.  i think i can go 10+ hours on a single set of batts.  7.5 hours is no problem.
