From the manual:
Nominal Input Level (Variable) GUITAR/BASS jack: -20 dBu,
MIC (TRS balanced/XLR) jack: -40 dBu, LINE IN jack: -10 dBu
You can't use a -40dB signal without a mic pre so it must have one.

The idea is to get the signal to line level so I would suggest that you only need to use the ART into the line input. If you go into a mic input, with line level, you just end up padding it down for the input circuit then the mic pre boosts it back up to line level for the recorder.
Now that's the theory but give it a go both ways and see which way sounds best to you.
