the recorder and invalidate the warranty.
Using Batteries
The recorder is designed for use with 8 “AA” size
Alkaline, Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cad) or Nickel-Metal
Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries.
The recorder DOES NOT allow for charging of
rechargeable batteries. If you use rechargeable batteries,
you must use an external battery charger (see battery
charger manufacturer instructions for operation and safe
use).
The battery capacity monitoring is different for alkaline
batteries and Ni-Cad/Ni-MH batteries. Please select
the correct battery type you are using from the System
Settings menu of the recorder.
To operate the recorder with battery power, install
batteries into the recorder as follows:
1. Remove the battery cover from the rear side of the
recorder.
2. Insert the batteries into the battery compartment,
making sure to align the positive ( + ) and negative
( - ) end of each battery according to the polarity
diagram shown inside the compartment.
3. Re-attach the battery cover to the rear side of the
recorder.
Safety Cautions When Handling
Batteries
To avoid leakage, overheating, fire and rupturing, always
follow the points below when using batteries with the
recorder.
• Electrolyte leakage or corrosion may occur if
batteries are kept inside the recorder for prolonged
periods of time. Remove batteries prior to prolonged
storage of the recorder.
• When installing batteries into the recorder, make
sure the batteries are installed with the proper
polarity shown inside the battery compartment of
the recorder.
• Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable
batteries.
• Do not install old/exhausted batteries into the
recorder. Dispose of old batteries properly.
• Do not mix the types (Alkaline, Ni-Cad or Ni-MH) or
voltages of batteries.
Remote Controller Notes
The remote controller may not work if the infrared
receiver is exposed to direct sunlight.
The remote controller will not work when there is an
obstacle between the wireless remote controller and the
infrared receiver.
Please be careful when using the remote controller near
other equipment that responds to infrared signals.
Please do not place objects on the remote controller. If
an object resting on the remote continuously depresses a
button, battery power will drain.
The remote controller will work within a range of 5m and
60 degrees right or left of the IR receiver, as indicated by
the following image:

PSD410 File and Folder Limits
Files Per Folder 99
Folder Size 2GB

※ When the above limits are exceeded
during recording, a new folder is created
automatically and recording continues.
Inserting a Mini SD Card
Insert a mini SD card (or micro SD with mini adapter) into
the mini SD card slot on the left panel of the PSD410.
The PSD410 will begin creating a file database once an
SD card is detected.
During this process, the PSD410 scans the SD card for
audio files (WAV, MP3) and ID3 tag information (Artist,
Title, Album, etc.). The time to create this database will
vary, based on what is on the SD card you insert:
Inserting an SD Card with a Large
Number of Audio Files
Although the PSD410 can support high capacity (mini or
micro) SD cards (8GB, 16GB, etc.), the amount of audio
files and folders you choose to store on your SD card will
directly affect the amount of time it takes to create a file
database. Superscope recommends that you limit the
number of files/folders on the SD card.
Inserting an SD Card with a Large
Number of Non-Audio Files
The PSD410 must scan all files before proceeding,
so using the same SD card for non-audio files is not
recommended. Any number of additional files on your
SD card (e.g., JPG, MOV, PDF, etc) will slow down
database creation.
Inserting an SD Card Containing Large
Audio Files
When an audio file is detected on the SD card, the
PSD410 will open the audio file and begin searching
for content information, e.g. Title, Artist, Album, etc.
The PSD410 must search the entire file in case this
information is stored at the end of the file. Large audio
files therefore require more time during database
creation.

Removing the Mini SD Card
※ Do not remove the mini SD card during
recording, playback, or editing. It is
recommended that you remove the mini SD
card only after switching off power to avoid
any risk of lost or damaged data.
Safe SD Card Removal
1. Confirm that the PSD410 is not writing to the SD
card (recording or editing).
2. Push the mini SD card further into the unit until the
mini SD card springs outward.
3. Remove the mini SD card.

Microphones,
Instruments and
Other Sound
Sources
The PSD410 is designed to record microphones, musical
instruments (guitars and keyboards), line level equipment
and digital equipment (preamps, mixers, etc.). Please
refer to the procedure that describes your particular
recording set-up.
Microphones
Balanced Connections
Balanced signals require three separate connections
(HOT, COLD, GND):
• HOT refers to the original audio signal.
• The COLD signal is the original signal with
opposite phase.
• GND refers to the grounding wire.
Using balanced connections like the XLR plug (male)
will help to eliminate noise, especially when running
long cable lengths. The XLR inputs on the PSD410 will
also lock to prevent microphone cables from becoming
unexpectedly disconnected.
XLR Plug
Unbalanced Connections
Unbalanced signals only use two connections and are
therefore more susceptible to noise than balanced
connections.
Unbalanced ¼” Plug
External Microphones
1. Insert microphones into the MIC/LINE input jacks on
the side panel. Both XLR type and ¼”standard plug
types can be used.
When using microphones requiring 48V phantom
power, move the PHANTOM switch to the ON position.
Consult your microphone’s owner’s manual for power
requirement specifications

observing the display VU meters.
When your performance is at its loudest, the VU meter
should approach 0 dB without lighting OVER.
If the meter consistently lights red, adjust the input-
level control knobs counter clockwise to reduce the
level and avoid distortion. Switching the REC LEVEL
switch to the LIM (Limiter) setting can protect the
recording from distortion caused by transient peaks.
To disengage the L/1 and R/2 input-level control knobs
and set the recording level automatically, adjust the
REC LEVEL switch to ALC.
If your mics have higher than normal output, try
switching the MIC ATT switch to ON.

Pre-Roll Time/ Post-Roll Time
During Overdub and Punch In/Out, it is often helpful
to add a time gap between the moment the Record
button is pressed and the moment that recording begins
(Pre-Roll Time). This added time allows the user to listen
to or play along with the accompaniment track before
recording. This allows for smooth transitions between
original recorded material and new material added
through an overdub or punch-in.
Adding a Post-Roll Time during Overdub or Punch In/
Out will allow the accompaniment track to play for an
additional amount of time after the user is finished
recording new material. Pre-Roll Time and Post-Roll Time
can be adjusted between 0 seconds and 10 seconds in
1 second intervals. The default setting for Pre-Roll Time
and Post-Roll Time is [0] seconds.
Auto Track Increment
Increment tracks at pre-set time intervals. Options
include: OFF, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15
minutes or 30 minutes. The default setting is OFF.
One Touch Recording
The PSD410 has the ability to bypass Record Pause Mode
and simply begin recording after the user presses the
Record button once. The default setting for One Touch
Recording is [OFF].
Auto Convert
The PSD410 is designed to be a “music practice recording
system.” The recorder is therefore capable of performing
a number of different audio manipulations concurrently,
i.e., simultaneous Tempo, Key, and Fine Tune adjustment;
Voice Reduction; Parametric EQ; etc.
To allow for this level of real time processing, it is
necessary for playback to be CD quality (16bit/44.1kHz).
When higher-than-CD quality (24bit) recordings are
made with the PSD410, a CD quality (16bit) version of
the file should be created for playback on the PSD410.
The original 24bit recording will be unaffected and
available for transfer to a PC for editing or playback.
To create a 16bit playback file automatically, select Auto
Convert [ON]. The default value is Auto Convert [OFF].

■Overdub
The Overdub feature allows the user to layer audio over
a pre-existing recording (sound on sound). When the
Overdub button is pressed, the PSD410 enters REC Pause
Mode (Overdub).
In REC Pause Mode (Overdub), pressing the Record
button (blinking red) or the Play/Pause button (blinking
green) will mix the selected input signal (see Setting Up
Microphones, Instruments, and Other Sound Sources.)
with the currently selected track. If you have not adjusted
the loop points for the selected accompaniment track,
then you may layer audio until the accompaniment track
finishes playing or until you stop the recording. When the
recording is stopped early (before the accompaniment
track finishes playing), the length of the newly recorded
file will equal the elapsed time at the moment the
recording was stopped.
By adjusting loop points before using the Overdub
feature, you are able to utilize the PSD410’s additional
Overdub modes:
Overdubbing for Composition
(Layering sections of a Track)
In this mode, you will identify a section of audio, then
record additional audio over that section. The end result
is a file identical to the original accompaniment file in
length, but with an added layer of audio within the
section you have outlined.
※ When this mode is selected, playback level
will automatically be reset to maintain
consistent accompaniment level throughout
the recording. See Playback Balance and
Level.
※ This mode does not work when MP3 files are
used as accompaniment.
1. Press the TRACK SELECT button to select a track to
record over.
2. If you have already set your Overdub points, proceed

before Overdub point A, as determined by the Pre-
Roll Time.
10. The accompaniment track will stop at the end of
point B or the Post-Roll Time (see Pre-Roll Time /
Post-Roll Time). The Save menu will appear.
11. Select OK and the new file (executed overdub) will
