4.2.5 Changing the Recording Settings
Each time you make a recording, either via the line-In or microphone, the Gmini has 
preset recording parameters that it will use. You can change these recording settings by 
going to [Setup   Recording].

Source
Line-In, Mic.
This allows you to choose the source of your recording. If you use the 
Line-In option, you must connect the multiconnect adapter plug to the 
multiconnect headphone jack, and then plug the audio source into 
the line-in jack of the adapter plug. If you use Mic, then you should 
speak into the built-in microphone.
Format
MP3, WAV. 
Determines the fi le format that will be recorded. The recordings are 
made as stereo 16 bit sampled sound.
Line-in & FM 
Bitrate
32kb/s, 96kb/s, 128kb/s, 192kb/s. 
Allows you to set the recording quality of the line-in in terms of kilobits 
per second. The higher the value, the better the quality of the 
recording but also the more disk drive space that will be taken up. 
128kb/s is equivalent to CD quality. During the recording, you can hear 
the quality of the recording from the headphones.
Mic Bitrate
16kb/s, 64kb/s, 96kb/s, 112kb/s. 
Allows you to set the recording quality of the microphone in terms of 
kilobits per second. The higher the value, the better the quality of the 
recording but also the more disk drive space that will be taken up. 
64kb/s is a good level for most recording situations. During recording, it 
is normal that you will not hear your voice through the headphones.
4.2.6 Changing the System Settings
To change the system parameters or get some information about the system, go to 
[Setup   System].
