Recording Behavior Setting

REC MODE

Three recording modes are selectable

•LP (Long Play mode): Long playback/recording time, Low sound quality. (Icon LP is showed on the display during recording status and rec-pause status.)

•MP (Medium Play Mode): Medium playback recording time, Medium sound quality. (Icon LP and SP turn off on the display during recording status and rec-pause status.)

•SP (Short Play mode) Short playback/recording time, High sound quality. (Icon SP is showed on the display during recording status and rec-pause status.)

The bit rate is assigned to each recording mode by preset operation (Refer to the chapter of Presetting Parameters on page xx).

PRE REC

While PRE REC switch is on, pre-recording function becomes active. While REC PAUSE status, 2 seconds sound data is recorded in a buffer memory in the unit in first-in-first-out manner.

So, 2 seconds of recording is added prior to the recording made after the recording operation is started. This function saves from missing the unexpected recording chance which occurs suddenly.

Note

•If REC PAUSE status was less than 2 seconds, the sound during REC PAUSE is pre-recorded.

•When pre-recording is started, recording elapsed time shown in the display starts counting up. If the pre- recording status exceeds 2 seconds, the recording elapsed time in the display keeps blinking showing 2 seconds.

•When recording is started, pre-recorded time (2 seconds in maximum) is added to the time after recording is started, and so displayed.

•If STOP is pressed while REC PUASE status, prerecorded data is lost and the unit enters STOP status.

SILENT SKIP

After detecting continuous certain length of silence, the unit enters rec-pause status and stays in that status as long as silence continues. When sound input is detected, the unit resumes recording. This function saves the card memory by skipping the silent part.

Silent skip mode is set and reset in toggle manner by pushing the SILENT SKIP button. While silent skip mode is set, the icon S.SKIP turns on in the display.

FORMATPRESET

The level and the length of sound to enter the rec-pause status are preset by preset operation (refer to Presetting Parameters on page xx). The factory setting (default) value is three seconds, -40 dB.

The sound level to resume recording is always -24dB. SILENT SKIP always works with pre-recording function (PRE-REC) regardless of PRE-REC switch setting, to prevent dropping of recorded sound when the recording is resumed.

Note

Silent skip works while recording status. So, once you have to start recording.

In rec-pause status made manually (by pressing REC/ MARK button once in stop status, or by pressing PLAY/ PAUSE button while recording), the recording does not start even if the sound is detected.

AUTO MARK

Amark is put automatically every time rec-pause status changes to REC status.

SILENT SKIP AUTO MARK

FORMATPRESET

AUTO MARK mode is set and reset in toggle manner by pushing the AUTO MARK button. While AUTO MARK mode is set, the icon A. MARK turns on in the display.

While silent skip (S.SKIP) mode is set, the unit automatically put a mark when the recording is resumed at the sound detected after the silence.

For mark, refer to "Marking and EDL Playback" on page xxx.

Note

•AUTO MARK mode can be set/reset whether in recording status or in rec-pause status.

•Maximum quantity of mark in a card is 255. If the quantity of the mark is already 255, the unit does not enter the AUTO MARK mode even pushing the AUTO MARK button.

•When the the unit enters rec-pause status with the 255 marks, AUTO MARK mode is reset and shows mark full message "FULL -P 255" in 3 seconds, staying in recording standby (rec-pause) status. Recording function other than AUTO MARK works normally.
