Usage Precautions
Interference with other electrical equipment
In consideration of safety, the has been designed to mini mize its emission of elect ro ma gn etic wave s and to su pp re ss interfer ence from ex ternal e lectromagneti c wave s. Howev er, equi pment th at is very sus cep tible to inte rfe ren ce or that emit s powerful electromagnetic waves could result in interference if placed nearby. If this occurs, place the
and the other device farther apart. With any type of electronic device that uses digital control, including the
, electro- magnetic interference could cause malfunc- tion, corrupt or destroy data and result in oth- er unexpected trouble. Always use caution.
Cleaning
Use a soft cloth to clean the exterior of the unit if it becomes di rty. If n ecessar y, use a damp cloth that has been wrung out well. Never use abrasive cleansers, wax or sol- ven ts su ch as alc oho l, benze ne or pa in t thinner.
Breakdown and malfunction
If the unit becomes broken or malfunctions, immed ia te ly di sconn ec t the AC ad ap te r, turn the powe r OFF and disconnect o ther cables. Contact the store where you bought the unit or ZOOM service with the following inform ation: product model, serial number

Introduction
H5 Handy Recorder
Introduction
Thank you very much for purchasing a ZOOM Handy Recorder. The has the following features.
Stereo mics can be changed according to use
An XY mic that can record sound images with depth is included. You can switch mics according to the situation as you would switch lenses on an SLR camera.
Record up to 4 tracks at once
In addition to the swappable stereo mic (L/R inputs), the main unit has 2 XLR/TRS inputs (Inputs 1/2). Use these to simultaneously record a maximum of 4 tracks, including ambiance, narration, an overall sound image and the voices of multiple performers, for example.
Advanced recording features
•
The XY mic uses a shock mount structure to minimize external vibration noise. In addition, it can handle sound pressure input of up to 140 dBSPL, allowing it to capture sounds that previous recorders could not handle. With this capability, it can make stereo recordings with excel- lent separation.
•
Using the L/R inputs, you can simultaneously record a backup file with a recording level that is 12 dB less than the regular recording. You can use this backup recording if an unexpected loud noise should cause the regular recording to distort, for example.
•
All input volume (gain) levels can be adjusted quickly by hand using dedicated knobs.
Useful operation features
•
SDHC cards (up to 32GB) can be used as recording media.
•
In addition to the standard headphones output, a line output jack is built-in. This allows you to send the audio signal to a video camera or other device while monitor- ing with headphones.
•
When connected by USB, in addition to use as a card reader or conventional 2 IN/2 OUT audio interface, it can also be used as a 4 IN/2 OUT interface (driver required for Windows).
•
Of course, a tuner, a metronome and playback speed and pitch adjustment functions are included among the useful features shared with other H series recorders. A remote control (wired) is also available.
Please read this manual carefully to fully understand the functions of the
so that you can make the most of it for many years. After reading this manual, please keep it with the warranty in a safe place.

Recording
Recording mode overview
19
H5 Handy Recorder
Recording mode overview
The has two recording modes: MULTI FILE and STEREO FILE. The file types and formats of recordings differ according to the mode.
MULTI FILE mode
The L/R inputs from the XY mic or other input capsule are recorded to the L/R tracks, and Inputs 1/2 are recorded to tracks 1/2 as separate files. Since the signals from the inputs are recorded to separate files, you can change their playback volumes and positions, for example, independently after recording. Only 44.1/48kHz WAV formats (16/24-bit) can be selected when recording in MULTI FILE mode.
HINT
By linking Inputs 1 and 2, you can also record them together as a single stereo file. When Inputs 1 and 2 are linked, two stereo files will be created. One for the L/R inputs and one for the 1/2 Inputs.
STEREO FILE mode
The L/R inputs from the XY mic or other input capsule and Inputs 1/2 are recorded together as a single stereo file. In this mode, only two tracks can be recorded, but you can select the recording format freely according to your pur- pose. ( P. 89) Use this mode when you want the highest audio quality or you need smaller files.
