sound quality
Use WAV format to preserve important recordings that are faithful to the source.
If creating CD
WAV 16 bit/44.1 kHz
For professional quality
WAV 24 bit/96 kHz
For professional quality

WAV

Because 16 bit/44.1 kHz is the same setting used on audio CDs, it’s ideal for burning to CD for playback
on a CD player. This format is great for making CDs to pass out to friends, or to keep.
If the sound source is high quality, it may be preferable to use the best quality 24 bit/96 kHz setting.
However, be aware that the 24 bit/96 kHz setting takes up a lot of memory (in other words, the record-
ing time on the SD card is shorter). Also, when making a CD on a PC, you’ll need software capable of
handling a 24 bit/96 kHz sound recording.
See p. 38-39 in the Owner’s Manual for setting the recording mode.

Checking the playback settings is also important!

Portable cassette players and MD players often have built-in features such as equalizers or bass
boosters to intensify the sound. These features are important when listening outdoors so you
can enjoy the music. However, we recommend turning these features o when recording on the
R-09HR for your archives.
Mini component stereo sets and cassettes players also use features such as bass boosting or loud-
ness to intensify the sound from the compact speakers. These features should also be turned o .
If these features are left on, then the lower frequencies will be louder than the other frequencies.
If recorded in this state, the original sound will not be recorded faithfully. Also, it’s diffi cult to edit
or process these recording later on so that they resemble the original sound.
The best method is to faithfully record the original sound, and then use editing software on a
PC to do any additional processing. Doing so allows you to preserve a faithful recording of the
original sound. Using a copy of the recording, you can then edit or process the sound as much as
you like.
