Doing so, however,could cause the order of the files to change when playedback on the unit.i On a text input screen, characters other than half-width (nor-mal) English letters, numerals and symbols will not be shown.If text includes characters other than half-width English let-ters, numerals and symbols, opening a text input screen willdelete them.i The following symbols and punctuation marks cannot beused in text.¥ / : * ? “ ” < > |NOTEYou can also use a USB keyboard to edit characters.(See “Usingthe keyboard to input names and values” on page 97.)Character input limitThe white background in the character field indicates the maxi-mum number of characters. The gray background shows charac-ters in excess of the maximum number. These will be discardedwhen you select Enter and confirm the input text.Applying dithering to recordingWhen recording in 16-bit WAV format the dynamic range isabout 96.3 dB.You can set how the unit processes the quiet sounds above the16-bit range that are lost (quantization noise) when it records.1. Select DITHER on the REC 4 page to open the DITHERscreen. (See “Menu operation procedures” on page 22.)2. Set the dither mode.Option MeaningOFF (default)No dithering is conducted. Unusable quanti-zation bits (17 and higher) are cut, while the16th bit and below are recorded as is.DITHERRandom noise (white noise) that is half thesize of the smallest quantization bit (16thbit) is added, generating fluctuation in theborder between the 16th and 17th bits andsuppressing quantization noise.NOISE SHAPEThis is linear noise shaping. Quantizationnoise itself is fed back and differentiated tosuppress the noise and expand the dynamicrange.3. Confirm the setting and return to the Menu Screen.Using the sampling rate converterThis unit has a built-in sampling rate converter, so it is possibleto record with a sampling frequency that is different from thedigital input sources.When the sampling rate converter is on, the icon appears inthe recording function activation status area on the recordingscreen.1. Select SRC on the REC 4 page to open the SRC screen. (See“Menu operation procedures” on page 22.)2. Turn the sampling rate converter (SRC) on or off.Options: OFF (default), ON3. Confirm the setting and return to the Menu Screen.NOTEi If you try to record a digital signal through a digital inputconnector with the sampling frequency that is different fromthe one set on the SAMPLING RATE screen when the samplingrate converter (SRC) is off, a “-- DIN ERROR -- Digitalinput is illegal.” message will appear. (See “Setting therecording file format” on page 61.)i The sampling rate converter operation range is 32–192 kHz.
