Rec Mode
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.
[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.
2. Select the recording rate.
Setting:
[PCM]: [96kHz/24bit] to [44.1kHz/16bit]
[MP3]: [320kbps] 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 (☞ P.39).
• If the directional microphone function is used, you cannot change the [PCM] setting
in the [Rec Mode] other than [44.1 kHz/16 bit]. You use the all modes in the [MP3]
or [WMA] of the [Rec Mode].
Rec Level
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 manually adjusting the recording level.
When the
[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.
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 the [Rec Level] is set to [Auto] the recording level will be adjusted automati-
cally. Set the [Rec Level] to [Manual] when using the recording level adjustment
function and the limiter function.
Zoom Mic
The directional microphone function utilizes DiMAGIC’s (DiMAGIC Co., Ltd.) DiMAGIC
Virtual 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:
[Off]: 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 built-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 the [PCM] setting in the [Rec Mode]
is set to [44.1 kHz/16 bit].
