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.
1. Select the recording format.
Setting:
[PCM]:
This
is
an
uncompressed
audio
format
which
is
used
for
music
CDs
and
the
like.
[MP3J: 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.
2.
Select the recording rate.
Setting:
[PCM):
[96kHz/24bit]
to [44.1kHz/16bit]
[MP3]:
[320kbpsj
to
[128kbps]
[WMA]:
[160kbps]
to
[64kbps]
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
(a-
P.39).
If the directional microphone function
is
used, you cannot change
[PCM]
setting
in
[Rec
Mode]
other than [44.1kHz/16
bit].
You use the ali modes in [MP3] or [WMAJ
of [Rec Mode).
You
can
configure whether
to
adjust the recording level automatically or
to
adjust
it
manually.
1.
Select
the
Recording
level
setting.
Setting:
[Manual]:
Recording
is
performed
by
manualiy adjusting the recording level. When
[Ree
Level]
is set to
[Manual]
you can configure the limiter function.
[Auto]: Recording
is
performed by automaticaliy adjusting the recording level. This
is
useful
for
when
you
will
be recording right away.
2. Select the
Limiter
setting.
Setting:
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.
[Limiter On]: Enables the limiter function, thus preventing distortion when recording.
[Limiter
Off]: Disables this function.
When
[Rec
LevelJ is set
to
[Auto]
the recording level wili
be
adjusted automaticaliy.
Set
[Rec
Level]
to
[Manual]
when using the recording level adjustment function and
the limiter function.
The directional microphone function utilizes DiMAGIC's (DiMAGIC Co
..
ltd.)
DiMAGiC
Virtuai Microphone (DVM) technology. DVM
is
an audio pickUp system which allows you
to record by focusing on sound from any direction. From expansive stereo recording
to
high directivity recording,
DVM
represents the latest
in
directional control methods
that allow you to switch
to
a single exclusive microphone.
Setting:
[OffJ: Disables this function.
[Wide]:
Recording by
an
expansive stereo sound.
[Standard]: Recording
by
the natural stereo sound which
has
no
medium getting away
[Narrow]:
Recording by a directivity stereo sound.
[Zoom]: Recording with monaural, however
you
can record
high
directivity sound.
The directional microphone function has been designed so that
this
capability
will
be
elicited only with the
buiJt~in
stereo microphone. Please note that the recorder will become
unable to record normally when using other commercially available microphones.
You
can use directional microphone only when [PCMJ setting
in
[Ree
Mode]
is set
to [44.1kHz/16
bit].
