Hi all.

I've just acquired a Sony PCM-F1 unit, and it seems to be working, but at the same time it doesn't seem right to me. After some help.

The "muting" LED seems to be on permanently, regardless of the position of the "muting" switch.

When I play audio into the analogue inputs, I get a "video" output corresponding to the incoming audio, but nothing on the VU meters or from the headphone or line outputs.

If I press and hold the orange "rec mute" button, the "video" output stops, but I then get VU meter response, and output from both headphone and line out. As soon as I release the "rec mute" button, it goes back to nothing from line/headphone out and no VU meter response, and the "video" output starts up again.

It seems a bit odd that the VU meters are active only when the ADC is inactive, and I would expect the audio to be looped through to the headphone output for monitoring during recording as well.

Is that just how it's meant to work, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.
