folder that you want, follow the instructions in "5 – Using files
and folders (browse screen)" on page 25 to designate it.

• BWF is a format for broadcasting that has the same sound
quality as the standard WAV format. It also uses the same
".wav" file extension as WAV files. In this manual, we
distinguish these file types by using the terms BWF and WAV.
• The WAV format offers higher quality recording than MP3
files;
• On the other hand, the MP3 format can record for longer
hours.
• With MP3 format, recording with higher values offers better
quality.
• Cue marks in WAV file that supports BWF (Broadcast
Wave Format) can be used in BWF compatible devices and
computer softwares.
