*Recording Tip: Setting effects during recording
will not allow you to remove the effect later. This
could be desirable, for instance, to enhance the
signal and prevent distortion. However, effects
can be added AFTER the recording as well in au-
dio editing software, allowing you to record a 'dry'
signal then add dynamics processing later.
TIME MODE- The HDR7 has two main Time
Mode display settings, namely Elapsed (Ela)
and Remain (Rem). Elapsed represents how
much time has gone by in a particular record-
ing, and Remain represents how much time is
left on the recording device.
NOISE GATE- The noise gate is used to ensure
audio below a certain threshold does not get
recorded. To engage this function, select the

If a recording is set as stereo (pictured), there
will be two bars present in the STEREO-MONO
Signal gauge section. If it is set as mono, there
will be one bar present.
Setting Recording Levels
Setting recording levels properly is paramount
in order to achieve a good recording. When a
signal is too loud, distortion and clipping occurs
and creates an unusable recording. However, a
signal that is too low may sound muffled or not
be audible at all and may also be unusable.

Battery life
In order to get the best recordings, you must
Track time
apply the maximum possible signal that the

HDR7 can accept without overloading (0 dB).
Time mode
When a signal becomes too loud for the unit,
the Stereo-Mono Signal gauge (shown in re-
cord mode) appears Red (over 0 dB).
To find the max possible recording level follow
these steps:
1) Raise the level to where it just begins to
overload/ distort/ clip (appear red).
