again... I have been writing for years now...

You MUST use ANGLED PLUGS!! with any 3,5 mm jack BOTH at your mic's
and  at your headphones.
Also, best, is to attach the cables to the shoulder strap of the recorder.

While testing the R-09, I have been quite incautious with the input,
but it still works.
It is far too noisy, though.
