I'm not sure if those are the settings you are looking for, but...
Check the back of your unit (R-09-HR). LIM/AGC: OFF, PLUG-IN POWER: OFF, LOW CUT: OFF. MIC GAIN: OFF.
Using the menu, select  Recorder. Select 24 bits/44/1 ( that's what I do). With 24 bits you don't need to tape hot and risk overloading. Keep your levels around -12db and -6db and you are gold.
Your mics > bb> R-09-HR's Line input.
Ah, always use fresh batteries.
Take care

Well, since it was an emergency yesterday, I assume it still is ( almost 24 hours later). So I hope you don't mind my asking: how is it going? Did it work ( I mean the settings)? ;)

Hi, thanks for answer!!.. i called a friend for ask about if there was any update in this topic, at the end i used:

LIM/AGC: OFF, PLUG-IN POWER: OFF, LOW CUT: OFF. MIC GAIN: OFF.

as you said, but in the input level, i used the value of 60, i recorded the show at 96kHz-24bits and this is a sample in mp3:

Thanks for the update. It's good to know that everything went just fine.
I've never mentioned the input level ( 0 to 80) because what really matters in the SPL. Depending on the loudness of a given concert, you may have to set your levels at, say, 40, to achieve the same -12db that you'd achieve setting your levels at  30 in a louder show.
Take care ;)
