The default setting is SP. For more information on changing this setting, refer to the corresponding DPM menu section in this manual.

Note: Only one format can be selected for each file; the format for a file can be changed as long as no recording has been done in the file.

After recording has been done in the file, it is possible to switch between the SP and LPm recording format in the DPM menu. This change will not take effect for the current file but from the next new file onwards. From that point on, any new files are recorded in the selected format until the setting is changed again.

The values for the two formats are as follows:

Standard Play (SP) 13.7 kbit/s

With this format, about 312 minutes of recording time are available on a 32 MB memory card. This recording format provides excellent audio quality. It is recommended when the dictation sound files are used, for example, for speech recognition.

Long Play mobile (LPm) 9.1 kbit/s

This recording format provides good audio quality. With this format, about 468 minutes of recording time are available on a 32 MB memory card.

When voice-activated recording is enabled, the DPM is in Record Standby mode; recording will start automatically when the input level exceeds a certain threshold (i.e. usually when you start dictating). This means that recording stops a few seconds after you stop speaking and restarts automatically when you start speaking again.
