Audio components that support the linear PCM
stereo, Hi-SP stereo and Hi-LP stereo mode are
indicated by the
or logo mark.
Audio components that support the LP2 stereo
and LP4 stereo mode are indicated by the
or logo mark.
• It is recommended that you use the AC power
adaptor for long recordings.
• When you record in LP4 mode, momentary
noise may be produced on very rare occasions
with certain sound sources. This is because of
the special digital audio compression
technology that enables the long time
recording. If noise is produced, it is
recommended that you record in normal
stereo or LP2 mode to obtain better sound
quality.
• It is recommended that you use the recorder to
edit (dividing or combining) long tracks
recorded in linear PCM stereo. Transferring
such tracks and editing them on a computer
may require an extremely long time.
Adjusting the recording
level manually
The recording level is adjusted
automatically while recording. If
necessary, you can set the recording level
manually during both analog and digital
recording.
