Main features of the Digital Voice Recorder

●The DM-1 supports two recording modes.

• You can select SP (Standard Playback) mode or LP (Long Playback) mode (→ P.26). The included 64MB SmartMedia card can store approximately 10 hours and 20 minutes* of audio data recorded in SP mode, or approximately 22 hours and 10 minutes* of continuous LP mode recording.

*This is the recording time possible for continuous recording of one file.
