Recording format (Standard Play/Long Play)  

The recording format (Standard Play and Long Play) determines the recording 
speed and audio quality of the recorded sound files..  

 

Standard Play mode  

 

Long Play mode  

The default setting is Standard Play (SP). For more information on changing this 
setting, refer to the corresponding 

DPM menu

 section in this manual.  

Note

: Only one format can be selected for each file; the format for a file 

can be changed as long as no recording has been done in the file.  

After recording has been done in the file, it is possible to switch between 
the Standard Play and Long Play audio format on the DPM display. This 
change will not take effect for the current file but from the next new file 
onwards. From that point on, any new files are recorded in the selected 
audio format until the setting is changed again.  

The values for the two formats are as follows:  

Standard Play (SP) 13.7 kbit/s 

 

With this format, about 156 minutes of recording time are available on a 16 MB 
memory card. This recording format provides excellent audio quality. It is 
recommended when the dictation sound files are used, for example, for speech 
recognition.  

Long Play (LP) 9.1 kbit/s 

 

This recording format provides good audio quality. With this format, about 
234 minutes of recording time are available on a 16 MB memory card.
