Recording Mode Menu

This menu will not be available if ‘Enable Configuration changes in DRM’ was set to ‘No’ when the configuration file was defined in FlashMic Manager.

The Recording Mode menu permits selection of an alternative digital recording format to that determined by the currently selected preset.

The choice of recording mode will usually be determined by the onward programme production chain.

To enter the Recording Mode Menu, enter MENU mode by pressing the M/STOP button, and then make SHORT DOWN TURNs of the jogswitch until the display

shows R MODE.

Select this with a SHORT PRESS, and the display will show the name of the currently selected recording mode, as listed above. To select a different recording mode, make SHORT UP or DOWN TURNs. The display will show the names of the alternative modes.

When the required recording mode is displayed, a SHORT PRESS on the jogswitch will select it.

The recording mode selected will be that used for subsequent recordings until a different recording mode or preset is selected.

Note that any recordings already in the FlashMic’s memory will remain at whatever mode was applicable when they were made.
