Sony ICD-UX570 Help Manual page 65

If the audio of a recorded file is distorted, place the IC recorder further away to record performances.
Hint
[Auto Music Rec] is specialized for recording music, such as singing and musical instruments, to determine the recording level
and adjust the recording to be easier to hear. Since quiet sounds are adjusted to be a certain degree louder and loud sounds are
adjusted to not cause distortions, recordings are sometimes compressed due to the variations in the actual sounds.
If you want to record variations in the sound without compressing the sound too much, we recommend [Soft Music]. For bands
and loud sounds, we recommend [Loud Music].
Distortion may be caused by sudden, loud noises, such someone suddenly laughing or sneezing, during quiet conversations.
