Rec Mode
A
The recorder supports the Linear PCM recording
format, which allows sound to be recorded with
a quality equivalent to CD or higher, and the MP3
format, which allows files to be saved with a high
compression ratio. This means you can choose to give
priority to either sound quality or recording time.
