This section explains how to attach the wind screen, Recording mode and the ALC (Auto Level Control) function. Please refer to the Reference Manual (PDF file) for information on the other functions. Attaching the wind screen The recorder features a highly sensitive internal stereo microphone, which can pick up faint noises, such as the wind, or a gentle breeze from an air cooling device, or even a breath that hits the microphone directly. Yamaha recommends that you cover the microphone openings with the windscreen to reduce such noise in a recording environment. In addition, Yamaha recommends that you turn on the High Pass Filter via menu item [HPF] (see page 17, PDF reference manual) to further reduce the noise. About Recording mode The recorder records audio in the MP3 or PCM (WAV) format. As a rule of thumb, select "PCM 44. 1kHz/16 bit" (better sound quality) for the Recording mode to record a musical performance. Select "MP3 128kbps" (smaller data size) to record musical practice sessions or conference meetings. If you want to record audio at a much higher level of sound quality, select "PCM 96kHz. " Hint: · In PCM mode, non-compressed audio data will be recorded. If you choose an option that offers better sound quality, the data size will be larger and the remaining available recording time will be shorter. Select a Recording mode that will suit your purposes, based on your priorities (better sound quality or longer recording time) (see page 20). · If you plan to create an audio CD from the recordings, select "PCM 44. 1kHz/16 bit".
