5 Record

The device offers many features that you can use during recording or to improve the quality of a recording. Index marks can be used to mark certain points in a recording as points of reference. Use the timer and the voice activation functions to start a recording automatically. The pre-recording function allows to record the last five seconds before you press the record key.

5.1 Record settings

Set the required recording quality and microphone sensitivity or select automatic adjustment before you start a recording session. This function allows to customize the settings (recording quality, microphone sensitivity etc.) to suit the recording conditions (see also chapter 9.1.2 Adjust the record settings automatically (DVT3000 – DVT7000), page 40).

You can also enable the wind filter function to reduce the noise produced by the wind if you need to make a recording outdoors (see also chapter 9.1.5 Enable/disable wind filter (DVT3000 – DVT7000), page 42).

When you record in environments with lots of noise in the background (e.g. while in a crowd or during a train or car journey), you can enable the noise reduction function to reduce the background noise (see also chapter 9.1.6 Enable/disable noise reduction (DVT3000

– DVT7000), page 43).
