16.9. About recording modes and sound quality.
Whatever type of recording you are making, PLEXTALK gives you the
ability to select from a number of recording modes. For DAISY recording
there are 6 options and for recording Music CDs, there are only 2 options.
The recording modes for DAISY recording are: Standard, Music, Analogue
cassette, Radio, Conference and Custom. The recording modes for Music
CD are: Music standard and Music custom.
These modes have been set up to enable you to quickly set up PLEXTALK
for a variety of types of recording. However, if the settings in the preset
options are not adequate for your recording needs, you are able to use the
"Custom" or "Music custom" modes to adjust the settings yourself.
In addition, for DAISY recordings, PLEXTALK allows you to choose from a
number of sound quality settings. By choosing a high quality setting, you
reduce the available recording time on a disc or CF card. By choosing a
low sound quality, you can maximise the available recording time. For
Music CD recording, the quality is fixed so these options are not available.
As the method of setting the recording modes and sound quality differ
slightly for DAISY recordings and for Music CD recording, these processes
will be dealt with in Chapter 17 and Chapter 18 respectively.
16.10. Basic technique of recording.
This section describes how PLEXTALK functions when you are making a
recording. The information applies to making recordings in any format.
In terms of recording, PLEXTALK has 3 main states. These are "Recording
stand by", "Recording pause" and "Recording".
In recording stand by, you can adjust the recording level and select a
recording mode and sound quality setting. No recording is taking place at
this time. The red LED in the Record key will flash on and off constantly.
In recording pause, you can adjust the recording level but cannot alter the
recording mode or sound quality settings. Again, no recording is taking
