If you're plugging into 1-4, make sure you've pushed the button to turn the channel into "line" instead of "mic". If you feed a line-level signal into a mic-level input, nothing you do - no other settings, switches, or anything - will keep it from crapping out.

This seems to be possibly confusing advice. Seems the original poster is concerned about overloading the mic pre's in his 002. Now, I don't have an 002, but I'd think that if he plugs a mic into a mic input and has the front-panel switch set to "Line", he's likely not going to get anything. Won't that switch assign the input to the line input jack? In any case, a mic won't put out enough level to drive a line input. Best bet would be to trim down the mic input to avoid clipping, or to add a pad before the mic input (I always hate the sound I get when I do that.) Moving the mics back is probably a better solution if the "room" sounds good enough to allow it.
The recording level advice is spot-on, though.
