Main Features/Identification of Parts
● The DS-3000 digital voice recorder stores highly
compressed DSS audio files on SmartMedia
cards.
● The DS-3000 supports two recording modes: SP
(Standard Playback) mode and LP (Long
Playback) mode (☞ P.14). The supplied 16MB
SmartMedia card can store approximately 2 hours
and 35 minutes of recordings* in SP mode and
approximately 5 hours and 30 minutes* in LP
mode. A 128MB SmartMedia card (sold
separately) can hold up to 44 hours and 40
minutes* of recordings.
● The Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) saves
memory space by pausing recording when the
recorder judges that there is no sound (☞ P.18).
● Recorded audio files can be stored in three
separate folders for easier identification in future
use.
● The LCD screen displays file numbers, a real-time
counter, remaining recording time, current time
and date, operating mode, and warnings in a clear
format.
● Overwrite recording, insert recording, additional
recording and partial erasure functions make it
easy to correct and edit recordings.
● Furthermore, the AS-3000 transcription kit (sold
separately) provides you with a PC-footswitch and
DSS Player Pro Transcription Module for easy
transcription of DSS recordings.
* The recording time available may be shorter than
specified if a large number of short recordings are
made. (Use the remaining time and recorded time
only as references.)
