5.7.6. Manage Settings
The Manage Settings option allows the saving and re-loading of user configuration
settings, browsing the hard drive for alternate firmwares, and finally resetting your
player back to initial configuration. The details of this menu are covered in section 13.3
(page 165).
5.8. Recording
5.8.1. While Recording Screen
Figure 5.3.: The while recording screen
Selecting the Recording option in the Main Menu enters the Recording Screen,
whilst pressing Long Select enters the Recording Settings (see section 10 (page 77)).
The Recording Screen shows the time elapsed and the size of the file being recorded.
A peak meter is present to allow you set gain correctly. There is also a volume setting,
this will only affect the output level of the player and does not affect the recorded sound.
If enabled in the peak meter settings, a counter in front of the peak meters shows the
number of times the clip indicator was activated during recording. The counter is reset
to zero when starting a new recording.
Note: When you start a recording, the hard disk will spin up. This will cause the peak
b
meters to freeze in the process. This is expected behaviour, and nothing to worry about.
The recording continues during the spin up.
The frequency and channels settings are shown in the status bar.
The controls for this screen are:
