regarding levels, should i adjust them manually or use automatic levels?
For moderate shows, use mic in, low sens, manual levels. I set to between 12 and 18 or so.
If the levels are to loud at 12, then you need to go line in. Make sure to set manual levels again.
Oh yeah, you can adjust levels on the fly with the dial interface. Cool.
Finally, for stealth shows, use Hi-SP. This is 256kbps compressed, but not bad. Then you don't have to obvious and swap out disks.
By the way, I just bought the remote, RM-40EK or something like that. The one that comes with the NH-1 model. This remote allows you to see and adjust levels, and it has a backlight. You can't set record though. So you have to set it in record-pause mode on the unit, turn "hold" on the unit, then put it in your bag. After this you can work entirely from the remote.
Have fun!
