Checking the remaining battery power
The battery indicator on the LCD screen indicates the
amount of remaining battery power as shown on the right.
When the battery power falls to a low level, the recorder
will display the message “LOW BATTERY!.” At this time,
replace the battery with a new one.
Battery life (of an alkaline battery used for recording
to the internal memory)
* The above estimate is based on the following assumptions: Recording/playback LED off, backlight off,
no recording monitoring, the ALC function on.
* Battery life varies depending on the type and manufacturer of the battery, storage conditions, usage,
ambient temperature, etc.
* The battery life of a nickel-metal hydride battery is about 70% of that of an alkaline battery. Also, the
voltage of a nickel-metal hydride battery is different from that of an alkaline battery. Therefore, the
remaining battery power for a nickel-metal hydride battery may not be displayed correctly.
Preventing accidental operation (Hold function)
• If you set the [HOLD] switch to [w HOLD],
“HOLD ON” appears on the display and the
control buttons will be disabled.

Quick Guide
Recording
Before recording
The recorder enables you to record audio at a superior level of quality by setting the Recording
mode, ALC (Auto Level Control) function, microphone sensitivity, Hi Pass (Low Cut) Filter and
other functions. This section explains how to attach the wind screen, Recording mode and the
ALC (Auto Level Control) function. Please refer to the Reference Manual (PDF file) for informa-
tion on the other functions.
■ Attaching the wind screen
The recorder features a highly sensitive internal stereo
microphone, which can pick up faint noises, such as the
wind, or a gentle breeze from an air cooling device, or even
a breath that hits the microphone directly. Yamaha recom-
mends that you cover the microphone openings with the
windscreen to reduce such noise in a recording environ-
ment. In addition, Yamaha recommends that you turn on
the High Pass Filter via menu item [HPF] (see page 17, PDF
reference manual) to further reduce the noise.
■ About Recording mode
The recorder records audio in the MP3 or PCM (WAV) format. As a rule of thumb, select “PCM
44.1kHz/16 bit” (better sound quality) for the Recording mode to record a musical perfor-
mance. Select “MP3 128kbps” (smaller data size) to record musical practice sessions or confer-
ence meetings. If you want to record audio at a much higher level of sound quality, select
“PCM 96kHz.”
Hint:
· In PCM mode, non-compressed audio data will be recorded. In MP3 mode, compressed audio data will
be recorded. If you choose an option that offers better sound quality, the data size will be larger and the
remaining available recording time will be shorter. Select a Recording mode that will suit your purposes,
based on your priorities (better sound quality or longer recording time) (see page 20).
· If you plan to create an audio CD from the recordings, select “PCM 44.1kHz/16 bit”.

Quick Guide
Recording mode and application examples
Estimated available recording time (with internal 2GB memory)
* If you record multiple files, the total available recording time will be shorter than those estimated above.
* When you purchase the recorder, the Owner’s Manual and Reference Manual are stored in PDF format in the internal
memory. Therefore, the actual available recording time is less than the above time.
* The largest available recording space (for continuous recording) in one file is 2GB.
■ About the ALC (Auto Level Control) function
The Auto Level Control function automatically adjusts the recording level in response to the
source level so that the resulting recording will be tighter dynamically.

Feature
The recording will accurately rep-
resent the original sound, and
maintain sound dynamics as is.
The recording dynamics will be adjusted. Louder sounds
will be quieter and softer sounds will be louder. This setting
will reduce distortion and is better for recording dictation.
