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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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 .
