Setting
sound quality
We recommend recording instruments in WAV format. However, because MP3 recordings are compact
in  le size, they can be useful for recording instrument practice.
Record Mode Description
WAV
Get professional recording quality for digital audio by recording in 24 bit/96 kHz.
Recording in 16 bit/44.1 kHz allows you to transfer data to the PC and burn a CD
without any conversion.
MP3
The MP3 data format was created to preserve the quality of WAV data while
compressing the  le size. Until now, you had to convert WAV  le to an MP3 on a
PC, but the R-09HR allows you to record in MP3 format directly. Not only can you
transfer data to a PC and distribute it directly on the internet, you can also record
hours of practice, taking advantage of the smaller  le size.
See p. 38-39 in the Owner’s Manual for setting the recording mode.
