Setting:
[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.
Setting:
[PCM]: [96kHz/24bit] to [44.1kHz/mono]
[MP3]: [320kbps] to [mono]
[WMA]: [160kbps] to [mono]
When the recording format is set to the MP3 or WMA formats, the sampling rate will
be encoded and processed at 44.1 kHz.
When a high recording rate setting is used the file capacity will increase. Make sure
that the amount of memory remaining is sufficient before recording (☞ P.46).
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 32kbps.
Setting:
[Manual]: Recording is performed by manually adjusting the recording level. When
[Rec Level] is set to [Manual] you can configure the limiter function.
[Auto]: Recording is performed by automatically adjusting the recording level. This is
useful for when you will be recording right away.
This recorder is equipped with a limiter function that corrects the recording level
down to an appropriate range in cases where a loud noise is suddenly picked up.
This prevents distortion caused by an excessive recording level.
Setting:
[Limiter On]: Enables the limiter function, thus preventing distortion when recording.
[Limiter Off]: Disables this function.
When [Rec Level] is set to [Auto] the recording level will be adjusted automatically. Set [Rec Level]
to [Manual] when using the recording level adjustment function and the limiter function.
