KBPS (Kilobits per Second)
The bitrate for PCM is constant at 768 kbps/ch, so the
bitrate menu choice does not appear if the track type is
set to PCM.
The trade off in selecting an MP3 bitrate is audio
quality versus fi le size. Some listeners fi nd high bitrate
MP3 recordings indistinguishable from PCM record-
ings, and low bitrate MP3 music recordings noticeably
degraded.
MP3 Stereo
bitrate choices are: 64, 80, 128, 160, 256,
or 320 kbps.
MP3 Mono
bitrate choices are: 32, 40, 64, 80, 128, or
160 kbps.

Auto Track Increment
The CDR420 can be set to automatically increment
tracks during recording onto the HD or you can break
a track into evenly timed segments when burning a
CD. Timed tracks are helpful when a recording ses-
sion is too long to fi t on one CD, when recording a
long meeting, speech, surveillance session, or record-
ing for transcription. During playback timed tracks
make fi nding a particular passage easier because of
the relationship between track numbers and time.
Auto Track Increment HD can be set at 1, 2, 5, 10, 15
or 30 minutes, 650 MB CD, or 700 MB CD. A.TRK
INC CD can be set at 1, 2, 5 or 10 minutes.
For example, if
Minute Track
is recorded (a new
track every minute) you can select track 3 to play
approximately the 3rd minute of recording. To go di-
rectly to the beginning of the 10th minute select track
10, etc.
