3. To turn the power o, slide the [POWER] switch
once again toward POWER for several seconds.
Note when using the R-07 on batteries
5 If you handle batteries improperly, you risk explosion and uid
leakage. Make sure that you carefully observe all of the items
related to batteries that are listed in “USING THE UNIT SAFELY”
and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (leaet “USING THE UNIT SAFELY).
5 Do not mix fresh batteries with used batteries, and do not mix
batteries of dierent types.
5 If you won’t be using the R-07 for an extended period of time,
we recommend that you remove the batteries to prevent them
from leaking electrolyte.
5 If electrolyte should leak from the batteries, use a soft cloth
to wipe the battery compartment clean, and then install new
batteries. Electrolyte that contacts your skin might cause
irritation. Electrolyte that enters your eyes is dangerous; if this
occurs, immediately ush your eyes thoroughly with water.
5 Do not carry or store batteries together with metallic objects
such as pens, necklaces, or hairpins.
Power conservation function
The power to this unit will be turned o automatically after a
predetermined amount of time has passed since it was last used
for playing music, or its buttons or controls were operated (Auto
O function).
If you do not want the power to be turned o automatically,
disengage the Auto O function. For details, refer to the “Auto O ”
(p. 40).

Specifying the Recording Quality
You can specify the audio quality with which the recording will be
made.
The audio quality setting is a combination of the Sample Rate
(sampling rate) and the Rec Mode. The audio quality will aect the
size of the le, and will also aect the length of time over which
recording can take place with an microSD card.
Consider whether audio quality or length of recording are more
important for your situation, and choose the quality that’s
appropriate for you.
Sample Rate
(Default in bold)
44.1 kHz
Sample Rate
Higher sampling rates will provide higher audio quality. You’ll
need to use a high sampling rate if you want to accurately
reproduce the high-frequency range.
MEMO
5 Higher sampling rate settings will increase the size of the
le, and will shorten the available recording time.
5 If you are recording audio material that you’ll be editing into
a video production, we recommend that you use the 48.0
kHz sampling rate.
5 The R-07 is not able to convert the sampling rate of a
recorded le.
NOTE
5 If this setting is 88.2 kHz or 96.0 kHz, the only choices for Rec
Mode are WAV-16 bit and WAV-24 bit.
48.0 kHz
88.2 kHz
96.0 kHz
NOTE
5 2xWAV-16 bit, 2xWAV-24 bit, MP3 and WAV+MP3 can be
selected only if the Sample Rate is 44.1 kHz or 48.0 kHz.
5 If you select WAV+MP3, the setting is xed at WAV-16 bit and
MP3-128 kbps.

Rec Mode
WAV les allow higher-quality recording than MP3 les.
If you choose MP3, the le size will be smaller than WAV, allowing
you to record for a longer length of time. Higher settings for
“bit” or “bps” will increase the le size, shortening the available
recording time.
WAV+MP3 simultaneously creates both a WAV le and an MP3 le.
MEMO
5 Some software such as Windows Media Player cannot play
back 24-bit WAVE les.

2xWAV (Dual level recording)
By choosing 2xWAV- as the Rec Mode, you can simultaneously
record at the specied input level (p. 17) and at an input level
approximately 20 dB lower than that input level. This setting is
recommended if there is a possibility that the recorded sound
might distort when the volume during actual recording is louder
than you expected.
When you record, two les are created. The examples below are
for when the le name is R07_0010.WAV.
R07_0010.WAV Recorded at the specied input level
R07_0010L.WAV
Recorded at an input level 12 dB lower
than the specied level
