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.

This recorder is designed to be able to

record cleanly and evenly, even in record-

ing conditions such as when the volume

of the source sound changes significantly.

However, even higher sound quality record-

If too big sound is input, the noise may

occur even if [Rec Level] is set to [Auto]

Adjusting the voice sync level for

recording

Voice sync recording allows you to start

recording when voice louder than the

voice sync recording is on (☞P.44) and the

voice is below the voice sync level (detec-

Connect as follows by the device to be used.

2 channel microphone (omni-directional): ME30W

•

Do not plug and unplug devices into the

Notes

•

If you are unable to produce a clear recording

Notes

•

When you adjust the various sound quality

settings related to playback on the recorder,

the audio output signal sent out from the EAR

In case of recording on other devices without

4 Rec 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.

1. Select the recording format.

Rec Mode

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/mono]

[MP3]: [320kbps] to [mono]

[WMA]: [160kbps] to [mono]

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.46).

If the directional microphone function is used, you cannot change [PCM] setting in [RecMode]

other than [44.1kHz/16 bit]. You use the all modes in [MP3] or [WMA] of [Rec Mode].

When [mono] of [MP3] is selected, the recording rate will be set to 64kbps.

When [mono] of [WMA] is selected, the recording rate will be set to 32kbps.

Rec Level

You can configure whether to adjust the recording level automatically or to adjust it manually.

1. Select the Recording level setting.

Setting:

[Manual]: Recording is performed by manually adjusting the recording level. When

[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.

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.

Setting:

[Limiter On]: Enables the limiter function, thus preventing distortion when recording.

[Limiter Off]: Disables this function.

•

When[RecLevel]issetto[Auto]therecordinglevelwillbeadjustedautomatically. Set[RecLevel]

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.

Setting:

Zoom Mic

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.

Phantom power cannot be supplied, even when the plug in power function is set to [On].

Voice sync recording starts when a voice louder than the voice sync level (detection

Specifications

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.
