Inserting Batteries  
Notes  
Using the AC Adapter  
Manganese battery may not be used in this  
recorder.  
This recorder cannot charge rechargeable  
batteries.  
Plug the AC adapter (optional) into a  
household power outlet and connect the  
power plug to the recorder’s power con-  
nector (DC 5V). Always turn the recorder’s  
power off before connecting.  
If the AC adapter is plugged in while  
recording using batteries, it may not be  
possible to play back the voice data being  
recorded.  
Be sure to turn off power of the recorder before  
replacing the batteries (P.11). Unloading  
the batteries while the recorder is in use may  
corrupt the file. If you are recording into a file  
and the batteries run out, you will lose your  
currently recorded file because the file header  
will not be able to close. It is crucial to change  
the batteries once you see only one Hash mark  
in the battery icon.  
If it takes longer than 15 minutes to replace the  
dead battery or if you take the battery in and  
out repeatedly at short intervals, you may have  
to reset the time when you have loaded a fresh  
battery (P.12).

Check the Olympus website regarding  
AC adapters which can be used with this  
recorder.  
Remove the batteries if you are not going to use  
the recorder for an extended period of time.

may be reset due to the reduction of the voltage  
output of the battery depending on the volume  
To the power jack  
level even if [

indicator. In this case, lower the volume of the  
recorder.  
Warning  
f
Always turn the recorder’s power  
off before connection or discon-  
nection.  
When the AC adapter is not in use,  
disconnect the power supply plug  
from the power outlet.  
Use only the correct power sup-  
ply voltage as indicated on the  
adapter.

Turn the Microphone Toward the Original Sound Source  
Turn the built-in stereo microphone in the direction that you would like to record. Placing the built-in stereo  
microphone over the display is the proper position for performing stereo recording. If it is below the display  
when recording then proper stereo recording cannot be performed because the position of the original  
sound will be recorded in reverse phase.

When the external speaker is connected while  
recording, there is a risk that audio feedback  
will occur. It is recommended that you use  
earphones for the recording monitor, or turn  
[Rec Monitor] to [Off] while recording (P.34,  
P.37).  
When [Rec Monitor] is set to [Off] no sound  
will come out of the earphones while you are

Microphone or Other Devices  
The external microphone and other devices can  
be connected and the sound can be recorded.  
Connect as follows by the device to be used.  
Notes  
Do not plug and unplug devices into the  
recorder’s jack while it is recording.  
The built-in microphone will become inoperable  
when an external microphone is plugged into  
the recorder’s MIC jack.  
Recording with External Microphone:  
Microphones supported by plug-in power can  
also be used. When the plug-in power function  
is set to [On] power will be supplied by the  
device to the microphone (P.34, P.37).  
Turn the plug-in power function to [Off] when  
an external microphone not supported by  
plug-in power is connected, as there is the risk  
that noise may be generated while recording  
(P.34, P.37).  
Connect an external microphone to the  
MIC jack of the recorder.  
When recording while an external monaural  
microphone is connected, sound will only be  
recorded by the L-channel.

Notes  
If you are unable to produce a clear recording  
with this recorder even after adjusting the  
recording level (P.20), this could potentially  
be because the output level for the connected  
devices is too high or too low. When external  
devices are connected, perform a test record-  
ing and then adjust the output level for the  
external devices.  
Notes  
When you adjust the various sound quality  
settings related to playback on the recorder,  
the audio output signal sent out from the EAR  
jack will change as well (P.34, P.38).  
In case of recording on other devices without  
a line input, the input may be too large to con-  
trol when the audio is input to the microphone  
jack. In this case, use the connecting cord  
KA333 (optional) with attenuation resistance  
(P.65).  
Do not connect the connecting cord to the MIC  
jack when recording sound from other device

4Rec Menu  
The recorder can record in the linear PCM format. High resolution recording at a high  
sampling rate and high bit rate equivalent or superior to that of a music CD is possible.  
Moreover, it also supports the MP3 and WMA formats.  
Rec Mode  
1. Select the recording format.  
Setting:  
[PCM]: 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).  
[WMA]: This is an audio compression encoding method that was developed by  
the Microsoft Corporation in the US.  
2. Select the recording rate.  
Setting:  
[PCM]: [96kHz/24bit] to [44.1kHz/16bit]  
[MP3]: [320kbps] to [128kbps]  
[WMA]: [160kbps] to [64kbps]  
When the recording format is set to the MP3 or WMA formats, the sampling rate will  
be encoded and processed at 44.1 kHz.  
When a high recording rate setting is used the file capacity will increase. Make sure  
that the amount of memory remaining is sufficient before recording (P.39).  
If the directional microphone function is used, you cannot change the [PCM] setting  
in the [Rec Mode] other than [44.1 kHz/16 bit]. You use the all modes in the [MP3]  
or [WMA] of the [Rec Mode].

You can configure whether to adjust the recording level automatically or to adjust it manually.  
Rec Level  
1. Select the Recording level setting.  
Setting:  
[Manual]: Recording is performed by manually adjusting the recording level. When the  
[Rec Level] is set to [Manual] you can configure the limiter function.  
[Auto]: Recording is performed by automatically adjusting the recording level. This  
is useful for when you will be recording right away.  
2. Select the Limiter setting.  
Setting:  
This recorder is equipped with a limiter function that corrects the recording level  
down to an appropriate range in cases where a loud noise is suddenly picked up.  
This prevents distortion caused by an excessive recording level.  
[Limiter On]: Enables the limiter function, thus preventing distortion when recording.  
[Limiter Off]: Disables this function.  
When the [Rec Level] is set to [Auto] the recording level will be adjusted automati-  
cally. Set the [Rec Level] to [Manual] when using the recording level adjustment  
function and the limiter function.  
The directional microphone function utilizes DiMAGIC’s (DiMAGIC Co., Ltd.) DiMAGIC  
Virtual Microphone (DVM) technology. DVM is an audio pickup system which allows you  
to record by focusing on sound from any direction. From expansive stereo recording  
to high directivity recording, DVM represents the latest in directional control methods  
that allow you to switch to a single exclusive microphone.  
Zoom Mic  
Setting:  
[Off]: Disables this function.  
[Wide]: Recording by an expansive stereo sound.  
[Standard]: Recording by the natural stereo sound which has no medium getting away  
[Narrow]: Recording by a directivity stereo sound.

Notes  
The above values are strictly rough guides.  
Variations in the available recording time will arise as there may be differences in the available memory  
depending on the card.  
Caution is required, since the differences in the available recording time will increase when the bit count  
and bit rate are low.  
Available recording time may be shorter if many short recordings are made. (The displayed available  
recording time and recorded time are approximate indications).  
The maximum capacity for a single file is limited to approx. 4 GB for WMA and MP3, and approx. 2 GB  
for Linear PCM format (WAV).  
For WMA format files, the file length for a single file is limited to a maximum length of approx. 26 hours  
and 40 minutes. For this reason, it will differ from the continuous recording time for a single file.
