Record Mode
Two record modes are available:
HD Stereo: Records a stereo audio track
Split Gain: Records two stereo pairs, for a total of four
tracks, one of each pair at the normal level and another
at -18 dB as a “safety” track that can be used in place
of the normal track in the event that overload distortion
(clipping) has occurred on the normal track.
Sample Rate
Use the arrows to scroll, MENU/SEL to choose one of
two sample rate options available; 48 kHz is an industry
standard rate and should be suitable for nearly all pur-
poses. At 96 kHz, the microSDHC memory card will be
used up twice as fast, but will have slightly less phase
distortion near the top end of the audible spectrum
(close to 20 kHz).
Date & Time
To set the date and time, use the MENU/SEL button to
toggle through the fields and the UP and DOWN arrow
buttons to choose the appropriate number.
Lock/Unlock
Choose Yes to lock the functions of the recorder to pre-
vent accidental changes.
Backlight
The recorder backlight can be set to turn off after either
5 minutes or 30 seconds, or to stay on continuously.
Bat Type
Choose either Alkaline or Lithium AA battery type. The
voltage of the installed batteries will be shown at
the bottom.
Remote
The recorder can be configured to respond to “dweedle
tone” signals from the PDRRemote smart phone app or
to ignore them. Use the arrow buttons to toggle be-
tween “yes” (remote control on) and “no” (remote control
off). (See Using A Remote Control App.)
