Rec Mode
The recorder can record in the linear PCM format.
High resolution recording at a high sampling rate
and high bit rate equivalent or superior to that of
a music CD is possible. Moreover, it also supports
the MP3 and WMA formats.
1 Select the recording format.
[PCM]: This is an uncompressed audio
format which is used for music CDs
and the like.
[MP3]: MPEG is the international
standard established by a working
group of the ISO (International
Organization for Standardization).
[WMA]: This is an audio compression
encoding method that was
developed by the Microsoft
Corporation in the US.
2 Select the recording rate.
When [PCM] is selected:
[96 kHz/24 bit] to [44.1 kHz/mono]
When [MP3] is selected:
[320 kbps] to [mono]
When [WMA] is selected:
[128 kbps] to [mono]
If the directional microphone function
is used, you cannot change [PCM]
setting in [Rec Mode] to one other than
[44.1kHz/16 bit]. You can use the all
modes in [MP3] or [WMA] of [Rec Mode].
• When [mono] of [MP3] is selected, the
recording rate will be set to 64kbps.
• When [mono] of [WMA] is selected, the
recording rate will be set to 8kbps.
To record a meeting and lecture clearly,
set [Rec Mode] to a position other than
[
mono].
When the external monaural microphone
is used while [Rec Mode] is set to a stereo
recording mode, it enables recording
only with the L channel microphone.
Rec Level
You can set the device to automatically or
manually adjust the recording level.
1 Select [Manual] or [Auto].
[Manual]:
Recording is performed by manually
adjusting the recording level.
[Auto]:
Recording is performed by
automatically adjusting the recording
level. This is useful for when you will
be recording right away.
If you select [Manual], proceed to the
operation of step 2.
2 Select limiter function.
[Limiter ON]:
This function will adjust the input
level when sudden high volume is
encountered. This will prevent sound
distortion.
[Compressor ON]:
This function will adjust the level
variation when high- and low-volume
input signals are mixed. The input
level will be generally equalized to a
listenable sound.
[Limit/Comp off]:
Use this position when adjusting
the input levels without using the
correction function.
Adjust the recording level:
1 Press the 9 or 0 button
while the recorder is recording or
paused to adjust the recording
level.
Distorted sound will be recorded
while [OVER] is displayed. Adjust the
recording level so that [OVER] will not
be displayed. If sound distortions do not
disappear even after the recording level
has been adjusted, change the setting
for microphone sensitivity ( P.50) and
adjust the recording level again .
