/P

LAY

/P

AUSE

 button.

ENU

/D

OWN

Bitrate (Rec. Setting) 

The 

Bitrate

 menu entry allows you to select PCM / WAV or MP3 (with selected bitrate) recording. 

The available options are 

PCM

 (no compression, direct WAV file recording), 

SHQ

 (128kbps mp3), 

HQ

 (64kbps mp3), 

SP

 (32kbps mp3) or 

LP

 (16kbps mp3). 

PCM 

is the recommended default with 

the best pristine audio quality. However, to record for a longer time, any of the mp3 settings are a 
nice option – the lesser the bitrate in kbps, the lesser the audio quality will be, but you can store 
much more data. 

Rec. LED (Rec. Setting) 

The 

Rec. LED

 section allows you to turn 

On

 or 

Off

 the red recording LED during recording. If you 

want to record something without anyone seeing that the unit is recording, you would turn it off. 

Line Level (Rec. Setting) 

The 

Line Level

 function allows you to adjust the input gain when recording from the line input as 

input source  (i.e. 

LINE

 is displayed on LCD screen). The range is between 

–12dB

 to 

+12dB

Rekord M is optimized for standard –10dBv line level signals by default, but as line signals tend to 
vary in their exact level, an input level adjustment is very helpful and sometimes actually needed to 
avoid distortion or signals with too low volume. 

When you use the line input and want to record, it is recommended to use the 

Monitor (Func. 

Setting)

 function (check below with more information) or better to make a short test recording to 

check if the input level has been setup correctly or might need to be adjusted. 

Repeat (Func. Setting) 

The 

Repeat

 section allows you to change the repeat mode for playback when playing data via 

Rekord M. 

Normal

 means, that the playback does not repeat. 

One Repeat

 means that the file gets 

played one more time, 

Dir Repeat

 means that all files from the currently selected folder will be 

repeated, 

All Repeat

 means that all files, from all folders, will be repeated and 

Shuffle All 

means tht 

the files fill be played and repeated in a random order. The repeat selection will be displayed on the 
LCD screen in the top middle section as a small icon.
