2.8 Setting Parameters
To change the Remote FM parameters, you must attach the FM remote control, enter FM
mode, and then click on the center function button Settings on the AV300.
FM Band
Make sure you have the correct FM setting. Go to
the parameter FM Band. The specifications for
the modes are as follows:
USA: 87.5 - 108 Mhz de-emphasis 75µs
Europe: 87.5 Mhz – 108 Mhz de-emphasis 50 µs
Japan: 76 Mhz - 91 Mhz de-emphasis 50 µs
Radio Recording
You can adjust the quality of the FM recording
with this setting. A setting of 5 on quality, and a
sample rate of 44.1 kHz corresponds to CD
quality. The higher each of these settings is made,
the more space will be consumed on your hard
drive for each recording. See your AV300 manual
for the table which lists the approximate bit rates
for these settings.
Microphone Recording
The microphone recording parameters are the
same which are set for the built-in AV300
microphone. If you want to change the microphone
settings, then you must go to the AV300 main
menu and select AudioCorder and then Settings.
Click on ESC once you have set the parameters
to your liking. The new settings will be taken into
account. The new parameters will be applied to the
microphone on the FM remote as well as on the built-in AV300 microphone. Setting the
10
bitrate to quality level 3 and the sample rate to 22kHz, will save space on your hard drive and
you will hear little difference in the recorded voice quality.
Retro-Recording
To activate the Retro-Recording function, set it to
On. Each time you make a recording from the
radio, you will get approximately 30 seconds of
what was playing from the radio before you had
pressed the REC button. When off, radio
recordings start within a second of the moment
you click the REC button.
