■Important Safety
Instructions
READ BEFORE OPERATING EQUIPMENT
This product was designed and manufactured to meet strict quality
and safety standards. There are, however, some installation and
operation precautions which you should be particularly aware of.
1. Read instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Clean only with dry cloth.
6. Do not use this apparatus near water.
7. To ventilate the unit, do not install it in a rack or bookshelf, and
note the following: Do not insert objects beneath the unit. Do not
block ventilation slots at the top of the unit. Do not place anything
about 1 meter above the top panel. Make a space of about 8“ (20
cm) around the unit.
8. Do not install near nay heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that

grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided
for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,
consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by
the manufacturer.
12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table specified by the manufacturer, or
sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used,
use caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for
long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is
required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such
as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled
or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has
been dropped.
Additional Safety Information!
• This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such
as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the
manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
• Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that
no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the
apparatus.
• When the switch is in the OFF position, the apparatus isn’t
completely switched-off from the MAINS.
WARNINGS

Superscope PSD430 Quick Start Guide
Music Practice &
Recording
Powering Up
1. Connect the AC Adapter to the DC Jack [36].
2. Connect the AC Cord to the Input of the AC
Adapter, and then connect the AC Plug to AC
120V (power source).
3. Slide the Power switch [1] to power on.
Inserting an SD Card
The PSD430 will begin creating a file database
once an SD card is detected. During this process, the
PSD430 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 the
contents of the SD card you insert:
Note: The PSD430 will recognize a maximum 99 files
for each folder. If you attempt to record more
than 99 files in a folder, a new folder will be
created automatically.
A. Inserting an SD Card with a Large Number of
Audio Files
Although the PSD430 can support high capacity (mini
or micro) SD cards (8GB, 16GB, etc.), the amount of
audio files and folders you choose to store on the 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.
B. Inserting an SD Card with a Large Number of
Non-Audio Files
The PSD430 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.
C. Inserting an SD card Containing Large Audio
Files
When an audio file is detected on the SD card, the
PSD430 will open the audio file and begin searching
for content information, e.g. Title, Artist, Album,
etc. The PSD430 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.
Recording
Recording with the Internal
Microphones
1. Push the INPUT SELECT button [2-B], and then
turn the jog wheel [5-B] until ‘Internal MIC’
appears as the Input Source.

Note: The Input Source setting will be stored after
the PSD430 is powered off.
2. Press the REC button [8-A] to enter Record
Standby Mode. The REC button [8-A] will flash.
3. Adjust the REC Level knobs [18] so that the Record
Level (left and right channels) does not exceed 0
dB as indicated on the level meters See Figure 2.

- 8 -
Superscope PSD430 Quick Start Guide
Figure 2 — Rec Pause Screen
4. Press the REC button [8-A] again to start
recording.
5. Press the STOP button [8-D] when the recording is
complete.
Hint:
a) Press the REC button [8-A] during recording to
increment the track number. (This function is not
available when recording direct-to-CD)
b) The Rec Level Switch [23] determines the method
for setting record levels. The limiter [LIM] can
be used to prevent unexpected volume peaks
from distorting the recording. Select ALC [23] to
disengage the REC Level knobs [18] and set the
recording level automatically.
c) Press the PREVIOUS button [8-B] during recording
to stop the recording and play back the recorded
audio (Rec Review function).
Recording with External Microphones
1. Connect a microphone to the MIC/LINE INPUT
Jack [25, 26]. If your microphone requires
phantom Power, switch on the Phantom switch
[21].
2. Press the INPUT SELECT button [2-B], and then
turn the jog wheel [5-B] until ‘External MIC’
appears as the Input Source. See Figure 1.
3. The remaining procedures are the same as
"Recording with the Internal Microphones.”
Hint: When using sensitive microphones, the level
indicator may display "Over" even though
the Record level controllers [18] are only
slightly turned up. In this case, switch on the
Microphone Attenuator [22] to reduce input
level and extend the range of control for the
Record level controllers [18]. The Line inputs
[25], [26] and AUX Input [29] will not be
affected by the Microphone Attenuator [22].
Recording with the Line Inputs
1. Connect an external device, such as a mixer or
preamp to the MIC/LINE INPUT Jacks [25, 26].
2. Press the INPUT SELECT button [2-B], and then
turn the jog wheel [5-B] until ‘LINE’ appears as the
Input Source. See Figure 1.
3. The remaining procedures are the same as
"Recording with the Internal Microphones.”
Recording with the AUX Inputs
1. Connect an external device, such as a mixer or
preamp to the AUX inputs Jack [29].
2. Press the INPUT SELECT button [2-B], and then
turn the jog wheel [5-B] until ‘AUX’ appears as the
Input Source. See Figure 1.
3. You can adjust the input level with the AUX Level
control [28].
4. The remaining procedures are the same as
"Recording with the Internal Microphones.”
Note: Maximum Mic Input level must be no greater
than 75mV RMS (Mic. ATT:Off). Maximum
Line Input level must be no greater than 4.0V
RMS. There is no limit for AUX Input levels.
CD Ripping
Follow these instruction to “rip” the digital audio from
CD audio tracks to WAV files on the PSD430 SD card.
Ripping an entire Audio CD
1. Insert a CD audio disc into the CD-R/RW drive [16].
2. When a CD audio disc is inserted, the contents
of the disc are displayed automatically. Turn the
jog wheel or move the joystick up or down to
highlight a track. Press the EDIT button [9-C].

Creating an Audio CD
Follow these steps to create an audio CD using
WAV or MP3 files stored on an SD card or USB

space for additional recordings, change
the ‘Allocate Temporary Space’ setting to
[disable] (see Menu>System Settings). If no
temporary space is allocated, it may not be
possible to burn certain MP3 and 24-bit WAV
files to CD. When burning 16-bit WAV files to
CD, no temporary space is required.
