Ok, I have not used the all in one recorder personally though a friend of mine recorded a small ensemble we were in with it and I thought it was an amazing little machine. I'd say you'd have to spend a lot more and know gobs more about the recording process to do better.
Just make sure you point it at yourself (you're looking at the short end with the black mic capsules crossed in front of you). I'd say you want a distance of about 10 feet away from you. As for the echo, you don't want that (or to the point it sounds soupy that is). If you can get a fair distance the short way in the room, the sound should be better that way. To cut down on sloppy reverb, add some rugs (or blankets) and some more cushy furniture if you have it. Now that I think about it, if you have a bookcase or multiple shelf unit of books in the room, positioning yourself in front of that will act like a pretty high end acoustic baffle (and that's a good thing).
As for levels, if you have multiple colors on the display, set volume so that your loudest sounds are producing peaks just beyond the green in the yellow range. If you just have red and green, set the volume so that your loudest sounds just avoid the red.
And stick with the stereo. Mono will sound a little flat when all is said and done.
Let me know how this goes!
