(WAV-16 bit+MP3-128 kbps)

WAV files allow higher-quality recording than MP3 files. If you choose MP3, the file size will be smaller than WAV, allowing you to record for a longer length of time. Higher settings for “bit” or “bps” will increase the file size, shortening the available recording time. WAV+MP3 simultaneously creates both a WAV file and an MP3 file.

Some software such as Windows Media Player cannot play back 24-bit WAVE files.

MP3 and WAV+MP3 can be selected only if the sampling rate is 44.1 kHz or 48.0 kHz.

If you select WAV+MP3, the setting is fixed at WAV-16 bit and MP3-128 kbps.
