Recording Behavior Setting
REC MODE
Three recording modes are selectable
LP (Long Play mode): Long playback/recording time,
Low sound quality. (Icon LP is showed on the display
during recording status and rec-pause status.)
MP (Medium Play Mode): Medium playback
recording time, Medium sound quality. (Icon LP and
SP turn off on the display during recording status and
rec-pause status.)
SP (Short Play mode) Short playback/recording time,
High sound quality. (Icon SP is showed on the display
during recording status and rec-pause status.)
The bit rate is assigned to each recording mode by
preset operation (Refer to the chapter of Presetting
Parameters on page xx).
PRE REC
While PRE REC switch is on, pre-recording function
becomes active. While REC PAUSE status, 2 seconds
sound data is recorded in a buffer memory in the unit in
first-in-first-out manner.
So, 2 seconds of recording is added prior to the
recording made after the recording operation is started.
This function saves from missing the unexpected
recording chance which occurs suddenly.
Note
If REC PAUSE status was less than 2 seconds, the sound
during REC PAUSE is pre-recorded.
When pre-recording is started, recording elapsed time
shown in the display starts counting up. If the pre-
recording status exceeds 2 seconds, the recording elapsed
time in the display keeps blinking showing 2 seconds.
When recording is started, pre-recorded time (2 seconds in
maximum) is added to the time after recording is started,
and so displayed.
If STOP is pressed while REC PUASE status, prerecorded
data is lost and the unit enters STOP status.
SILENT SKIP
After detecting continuous certain length of silence, the
unit enters rec-pause status and stays in that status as
long as silence continues. When sound input is detected,
the unit resumes recording. This function saves the card
memory by skipping the silent part.
Silent skip mode is set and reset in toggle manner by
pushing the SILENT SKIP button. While silent skip
mode is set, the icon S.SKIP turns on in the display.
The level and the length of sound to enter the rec-pause
status are preset by preset operation (refer to Presetting
Parameters on page xx). The factory setting (default)
value is three seconds, -40 dB.
The sound level to resume recording is always -24dB.
SILENT SKIP always works with pre-recording function
(PRE-REC) regardless of PRE-REC switch setting, to
prevent dropping of recorded sound when the
recording is resumed.
Note
Silent skip works while recording status. So, once you
have to start recording.
In rec-pause status made manually (by pressing REC/
MARK button once in stop status, or by pressing PLAY/
PAUSE button while recording), the recording does not
start even if the sound is detected.
AUTO MARK
A mark is put automatically every time rec-pause status
changes to REC status.
AUTO MARK mode is set and reset in toggle manner by
pushing the AUTO MARK button. While AUTO MARK
mode is set, the icon A. MARK turns on in the display.
While silent skip (S.SKIP) mode is set, the unit
automatically put a mark when the recording is
resumed at the sound detected after the silence.
For mark, refer to "Marking and EDL Playback" on page
xxx.
Note
AUTO MARK mode can be set/reset whether in recording
status or in rec-pause status.
Maximum quantity of mark in a card is 255. If the quantity
of the mark is already 255, the unit does not enter the
AUTO MARK mode even pushing the AUTO MARK
button.
When the the unit enters rec-pause status with the 255
marks, AUTO MARK mode is reset and shows mark full
message "FULL -P 255" in 3 seconds, staying in recording
standby (rec-pause) status. Recording function other than
AUTO MARK works normally.
