selecting the Local Folder Option.
REC type. There are several options available so you can
record in different formats.
o Fine Rec. This saves audio in a wave format at the
highest quality possible, but will require the greatest
amount of memory.
o Long Rec. The Long Recording saves audio as a wave
file, but in a lower quality that the Fine Rec allowing you
to record a larger amount of audio.
o Fine Vor. This type of recording is a custom audio
format, that requires a converter to use anywhere other
than the MP3 player. This audio format is very compres-
sed allowing you to record a large amount of audio.
o Long Vor. This audio type is allows for the longest
record time, but the lowest quality of audio.
This audio needs to be converted if you plan
on using it on your computer.
