About Convert/Analyse
●
Convert/Analyse is performed in standby mode:
Approx. 2 minutes after the unit is turned off, Convert/
Analyse begins. “D” is displayed during Convert/Analyse.
Convert/Analyse is complete when “D” disappears.
Do not pull out the AC mains lead during Convert/Analyse.
Be sure to pull out the AC mains lead within 2 minutes after
the unit is turned off, or after Convert/Analyse operation
fi
nishes (“D” on the display disappears).
●
You can turn the unit on even during Convert/Analyse.
●
Playback is available even if Convert/Analyse is not
complete.
Note that the playback sound quality after Convert/Analyse
operation may differ from the one immediately after
recording in AAC mode.
●
For Convert/Analyse operation It will take 1/3 time of
the length of recorded data.
For example, it will take approx. 20 minutes for Convert/
Analyse operation when a 60-minute CD is recorded.
•
For WMA/MP3/AAC (MPEG4) data imported from a PC,
the process time will become shorter since only “Analyse”
operation is performed.
