(sensitivity) as needed for your recording
application.

Suited to recording lectures, large
conferences and other applications
with distant or quiet sound sources.
[Low]:
Suited to recording dictation.
[Auto]:
The recording level always
automatically changes according to
the volume of the input sound. Suited
to recording all sounds.

• To record the speaker’s voice
clearly, set [Rec Level] to [Low], and
place the voice recorder’s built-in
microphone near the speaker’s
mouth (5 to10 cm away).
Setting the recording mode
[Rec Mode]
You can prioritize sound quality or
recording time. Select the recording
mode that best matches your recording
application.
[MP3 128 kbps]
[MP3 64 kbps mono]*
[MP3 8 kbps mono]*
[PCM 22.05k mono]*
* Mono recording
TIP
• Sound quality increases as the
recording rate value increases.
• Setting a higher recording rate
increases file size. Check that you
have enough remaining memory
before recording.
• To record conferences and
presentations clearly, it is
recommended to set [Rec Mode] to
[MP3 128 kbps].
NOTE
• When [Rec Mode] is set to stereo,
recording with a connected an
external mono microphone records
on the left channel only.
• When [Rec Mode] is set to [MP3
8kbps mono], the (R) side of the
built-in microphone is switched off
automatically.
