Main features of the Digital Voice Recorder
● The DM-1 supports two recording modes.
• You can select SP (Standard Playback) mode or
LP (Long Playback) mode (
→
P.26). The included
64MB SmartMedia card can store approximately
10 hours and 20 minutes* of audio data recorded
in SP mode, or approximately 22 hours and 10
minutes* of continuous LP mode recording. If you
buy a 128MB SmartMedia card, you can store
up to approximately 44 hours and 40 minutes*
of continuous recording on it.
* This is the recording time possible for
continuous recording of one file. File names and
file-location information take up some storage
space, so the actual total recording time that
can be stored will slightly decrease as the
number of files increases, becoming noticeable
if a large number of short recordings are made.
(Use the indicated remaining time and recorded
time only as references.)
● Can record and play audio files in DSS
(Digital Speech Standard) format.
• An audio signal converted to digital with high-quality
data compression can be stored in DSS format.
● The three folders can hold 199 files each,
for a maximum of 597 recordings (

• A
folder name may consist of up to eight
characters.
