File and folder

A "File" is an individual voice recording and a "Folder" is a location to classify and store multiple files.

This unit includes three folders: MIC, LINE, and MUSIC. Files can be stored in each folder.
Note A "DATA" folder for storing PC data is included, though it is not shown on this unit. (See Page 38)

Folders for recording

These folders are used for recording on this unit. The "MIC" folder stores voice files recorded with a microphone and the "LINE" folder stores voice files recorded through a line-in from external source.

Page 10

Recording file names

Files recorded with this unit, are automatically given a name with the following configuration.

On this unit, only the file number in the file name above is displayed. The file name can be seen when this unit is connected to a PC.
If the name of a file recorded with this unit is changed on a PC, the file cannot be played in the "MIC" folder or the "LINE" folder. Give a name according to the file name rules above or move the file to the "MUSIC" folder and play it from there.

Folder for music

The "MUSIC" folder is a folder used for transferring MP3 files from a PC and playing them. By transferring your music to your PC, such as songs imported from CD's and transferring these files to the "MUSIC" folder, you can use this unit as a music player.

( 🗀 indicates a folder, and 🗋 indicates a file.)

* Folders in which no file is stored directly under the folder, as well as folders in which no playable file is stored are not counted.

Page 11

Sort function in the "MUSIC" folder

In the "MUSIC" folder, files in each folder are automatically sorted in ascending order of the first number of the file name and then played. In the case of numbers starting in "001...", "01...", and "1...", "001..." takes precedence and "01..." and "1..." follow after.

Frequently asked questions (Q & A)

Q: Can a manganese battery or a rechargeable battery be used?

A: Manganese battery and nickel-cadmium battery cannot be used. It is recommended to use an alkaline battery. Although our rechargeable battery "eneloop" can be used, its duration is approximately 70% in comparison with an alkaline battery. Also since the voltage is different, the battery indicator of this unit may not be accurate. Alternately, an Oxyride battery can be used. Its duration is almost the same as an alkaline battery.

Q: Why is noise included in playback sound?

A: If you move the hand or fingers that hold this unit during recording, that sound will also be recorded. Do not move the unit if at all possible during recording. For recording with this unit placed in a breast pocket, it is recommended to use a tie-pin type stereo microphone (sold separately).

Q:Does "recordable time" mean "recordable time for each file"?

A: No.

The recordable time is the total recording time remaining until the SD card capacity becomes full, for that recording mode. If a file is recorded until the time is exhausted, no further recording will be possible, even if file or folder is changed.

Q: How can a recording be stored on tape, MD or the like?

A: By using a commercially available audio cable (mini plug: 3.5 $\phi$ ), you can easily dub a recorded file from this unit to external equipment such as a tape recorder or MD recorder to store it.
