Effect (static )problem with BR8

Im using a Dean Markley pickup on my accoustic guitar and no matter what i do I hear static when recording. Im using effect #1 and the preamp is off and the speaker effect is off as well . With those effects on the static is unbearable. When I use the other 40 or so effects the static increases! The eq is off as well. Any effect i add makes it sound worse. All i want is a clean crisp sound without all that hissing. The funny thing is I dont have this problem when im using my other pickup. (The little round wooden circle you stick on with sticky putty- it picks up vibrations) but when i use the magnetic pickup (the first one i was talking about) in an amp it sounds fine. So im assuming its the settings on the recorder. Can anyone who has this machine help?
Thanx

Negotiator hit the nail right on the head answering your question.
I had the same problem with BR-8,pickup to close to the zip drive.
I should have read the manual a little closer it warns about that.
Digital recording is all new to me.
Your right about one thing ,this is a great SITE.
