Selecting the recording sensitivity [Rec Level]

You can change the recording level (sensitivity) as needed for your recording application.

[High]:

Suited to recording lectures, large conferences and other applications with distant or quiet sound sources.

[Low]:

Suited to recording dictation.

TIP

To record the speaker’s voice clearly, set [Rec Level] to [Low], and place the voice recorder’s built-in microphone near the speaker’s mouth (5 to10 cm away).

Setting the recording mode [Rec Mode]

You can prioritize sound quality or recording time. Select the recording mode that best matches your recording application.

[MP3 192 kbps]*1

[MP3 128 kbps]*1 [WMA 64 kbps]*2 [WMA 32 kbps mono]*3 [WMA 5 kbps mono]*3

*1 VN-722PC model only

*2 VN-721PC model only

*3 Mono recording

TIP

Sound quality increases as the recording rate value increases.

Setting a higher recording rate increases file size. Check that you have enough remaining memory before recording.

To record conferences and presentations clearly, it is recommended to set [Rec Mode] setting to [MP3 128kbps]* or above. * For VN-721PC, set [WMA 64 kbps].

NOTE

When [Rec Mode] is set to stereo, recording with a connected an external mono microphone records on the left channel only.
