Recording (Elite and Echo models only)
Overview
The Elite and Echo models of the E Series provide the ability to make your own recordings. Details on how to
initiate recording mode and use the various features while in that mode are described in Figure 14: Recording
control buttons.
Recording files can be stored on both the onboard memory and
micro
SD.
If a
micro
SD card is present in the card reader when initiating recording mode, the player will default to it.
All recording files are created in WAV (Waveform Audio File) format (48,000 Hz, mono, 192 Kpbs) and stored in a
special folder named “RECORD” in the root (onboard memory or
micro
SD). The player will automatically create
this folder if it is not present.
The naming convention for the recorded files is “RECnnn.wav” where nnn is a 3-digit counter that the player
increments automatically beginning with 000. This allows for up to 1,000 files. The largest file allowed is 2GB.
Based on the settings described above, a 2GB file can contain about 23.7 hours of recorded audio.
To exit recording mode, you may change to audio playback mode (a long press on the
button), or to FM
Radio mode (a long press on the
button; Elite and Equip only) or turn the player off completely. If a recording
is in progress when leaving Recording mode, the file will be saved “as is” before exiting (some truncation may
occur).
When recording to a microSD card, do NOT remove the card while recording is in progress. This will result
in a corrupt file and you will lose your work. The player will beep 4 times to alert you and stop recording.
