Hint
• The files recorded in LPCM (WAV) format are compatible with
the Broadcast Wave Format (BWF), thus have the time stamp
information that indicate the start of recording.
• Sampling frequency is a value that represents how many times an
analog signal is converted into a digital signal (A/D conversion) per
second. The larger the sampling frequency value, the better the
sound quality, but it also increases the volume of data. The sound
quality of 44.1 kHz is equivalent to that of a CD, 48 kHz is equivalent
to that of a DAT, and 96 kHz is equivalent to DVD Audio.
• Quantifying bit number is a value that represents the volume of
data for 1 second of audio. The larger the bit number, the larger the
volume of data and the better the sound quality.
You can select "Stereo" or "Monaural (L)" in accordance with the
input sound for recording.
• Stereo*: The input sound is recorded in stereo.
• Monaural (L): The input sound is recorded in monaural.
You can select whether the maximum value of the input signals
(peak value) is maintained.
Auto*: The peak value will be reset periodically.
Manual: The peak value is maintained and displayed until you
stop recording or execute "Reset Peak Data."
