Notes
• If an optional microphone is plugged into the microphone jack, its
sensitivity can be switched.
• If the microphone sensitivity is set to DICT, the microphone will only
record nearby sounds. Place the built-in microphone close to the
speaker’s mouth (2 to 4 inches).
Recording Meetings and Lectures
• Set the microphone sensitivity to CONF (conference
recording) to record meetings or lectures.
• Meetings and lectures sometimes cannot be recorded
clearly depending on the speakers’ voices and ambient
acoustic conditions. Recording in SP (Standard Playback)
mode is recommended in these situations.
(See Recording Modes .... P.25)
• If you are having trouble hearing the person speaking, it is
likely that your recorder will not record it.
