1.4 Features and benefits
Recording
Recording sensitivity: To record sounds from all directions
(record conferences, for example), switch to high sensitivity mode.
When recording personal notes and you want to avoid recording
noises from around you, switch to low sensitivity mode.
Super HQ recording mode: Outstanding recording quality for
brilliant, clear playback.
Choice of recording modes: Select your choice of recording
modes; you have the freedom of choice between long-lasting
recording capacity and outstanding sound quality. Choose according
to your needs, or switch to lower recording quality modes when you
want to conserve memory capacity.
Large voice recording capacity: Ample internal memory allows
the recording and storage of long voice recordings. There is no need
to download or delete files to free up space.
Voice-activated recording mode: Use this convenient feature
when you want to dictate hands-free. When enabled, recording will
start automatically when the input level exceeds a certain threshold
- usually when you start speaking. Recording stops automatically
after you stop speaking and restarts automatically when you start
speaking again.
Auto divide: Automatically divide long recordings into separate
files (30 or 60 minutes in length each). This makes it much easier to
find, edit and archive long recordings of meetings or lectures.
External source recording (line recording): With this feature,
record directly from an external audio source such as an audio CD
player in good sound quality. Available with DVT 7890.
Recording while powered through USB: To record long
conferences, power the Digital Voice Tracer through a USB port.
Connect the USB cable to a notebook computer, then press and hold
the record button until REC is displayed. Record the conference or
meeting without draining the battery.
Playback
File preview / intro scan: This function scans through all
recordings by playing back the first few seconds of each file. This
makes it easier to search for a specific file or to browse through all
recordings.

6User manual
Slow playback: Recordings will be played back at slower speed, for
example to make it easier to take notes.
A-B repeat playback: Let the DVT repeat a voice section between
two points (A <> B). For example, make it easier to note a telephone
number, an address or a remark made in a recorded conversation.
File repeat playback: Let the DVT play your recording over and
over. For example, replay your favorite song.
Alarm playback: Schedule a voice alarm to remind you of an
important meeting or event, or a telephone call you need to make.
Convenience
Large backlit LCD display: View all relevant information at a
glance, even in low-light conditions.
Hold: Lock and protect the current state of the DVT to avoid
unintentionally switching the device on or o during recording,
playback or when carrying the DVT in your pocket.
Time stamp: The time stamp feature assigns a date and time to
every recording. This makes it more convenient to locate and verify
the recordings later on.
File split: With this feature, split a long recording into two separate
files so they can be more easily archived or e-mailed, or so that part
of a file can be deleted.
Timer recording: With timer recording, program the DVT to
record an important event in advance. Once timer is set, the event
will be recorded automatically at the scheduled time and date. There
is no need to switch the Digital Voice Tracer to Record mode when
the meeting begins.
USB drive: The DVT can also be used as a standard Microsoft
Windows USB storage device, oering the convenient storage and
sharing of files (letters, presentations or spreadsheets).
With USB mass storage support, the DVT is automatically displayed
as an external drive when it is connected to the computer. It can
then be easily accessed with any Microsoft Windows program as
a regular drive. Since the Microsoft Windows operating system
contains the generic mass storage-class driver, no separate driver
needs to be installed for the device to be recognized.
