Tip

In digital connection, setting of the SP/LP switch is applicable when recording a 32 kHz source only. (When set to SP, the source is recorded in the 32 kHz SP mode. When set to LP, the source is recorded in the 32 kHz LP mode.)

The sampling frequency for recording is automatically set depending upon the source.
