About the recording modes
The PCM recorder is compatible with 2
types of recording modes: LPCM (Linear
PCM) and MP3. The features offered by
each are as follows.
• LPCM (Linear PCM): This is a WAV file
and you can record the sound without
compression, providing higher quality
than MP3. On the other hand, the file size
is large, it takes time to copy to a
computer, and the available recording
time in the PCM recorder is shorter than
MP3. We recommend this recording
mode for recording when the sound
quality is important.
• MP3: A standard method of sound
compression, which can be played back
using many different kinds of computers.
