Preset defaults

The default Menu settings for Presets 1, 2 and 3 can
be restored by the Default Menu choice, page 39.
Preset1 default uses the unbalanced (ANALOG IN
RCA jacks), line level, inputs. It is set for stereo
channel music recording with MP3 compression.
Selecting a higher bit rate (kbps) will improve audio
quality but decrease available recording time.
Preset2 default uses the unbalanced (ANALOG IN
RCA jacks), line level, inputs. It is set for Mono
channel recording with MP3 compression. The
settings are appropriate for recording meetings be-
cause the quality is acceptable for voice recording,
long recording times are possible, and there is the
capability to transfer files on the internet.
Preset3 default uses the balanced (BALANCED IN
XLR jacks) inputs. It is set for stereo channel CD
quality recording with no compression.
See chart below on page 24 for complete default
settings.
Note:
Setting any preset to default resets the main clock. We recommend
that you set the date and time when you set a preset to default. See
page 26.
