Rec Menu
Mic Sense:
You can switch between two
microphone sensitivities to meet
recording needs: [
Dictation
] for oral
dictation and [
Conference
] which
is suited for situations like meetings
and conferences with a small number
of people.
[
Conference
]:
High-sensitivity mode that records
sounds in all directions.
[
Dictation
]:
Low-sensitivity mode suited for
dictation.
• The setting status will appear on
the display as [
] or [
].
Rec Mode:
You can choose between different
recording formats.
1
Select the recording format.
[
DSS
]:
DSS stands for Digital Speech
Standard, a digital audio file format
defined by a cooperative venture by
Olympus and two other companies.
DSS format files are easily editable
and have a very light file size.
[
PCM ST
] (Stereo):
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).
2
Select the recording rate.
When [ DSS ] is selected:
[
DSS Pro QP
] (Quality Playback) or
[
DSS Pro SP
] (Standard Playback)
When [ PCM ST ] is selected:
Recording rate will be fixed at
44.1 kHz/16 bit.
When [ MP3 ] is selected:
[
256 kbps
] or [
128 kbps
]
• Since the built-in microphone
is monaural, even if you enable
[
PCM ST
] in [
Rec Mode
] the sound
recorded through the built-in
microphone will be monaural. In
order to do stereo recording, an
external stereo microphone will be
necessary (optional).
• You cannot select the [
DSS Pro QP
]
mode when setting the recorder to
the DSS Classic mode.
For details, see “
Recording
” in the
“
Customizing the recorder
”.
VCVA:
The VCVA feature extends recording
time and conserves memory by
stopping recording during silent
periods, which helps the playback
to be more efficient. When the
microphone senses that sounds
have reached a preset threshold
volume level, the built-in Variable
Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) starts
recording automatically, and stops
when the volume drops below the
threshold level.
1
Select [
On
].
2
Press the
REC
button to start
recording.
• When the sound volume is lower
than the preset actuation sound
level, recording automatically
stops after 1 second
approximately, and [
Standby
]
flashes on the display. The record
indicator light turns on when
recording starts and flashes when
recording pauses.
Work Type:
The Work Type information of the
recorded or uploaded files can be
edited with the menu settings of the
recorder.
• For further details, a complete
advanced version of the manual
*
(PDF format) is available for
