Specifying the Recording Quality
You can specify the audio quality with which the recording will be
made.
The audio quality setting is a combination of the Sample Rate
(sampling rate) and the Rec Mode. The audio quality will affect the
size of the file, and will also affect the length of time over which
recording can take place with an microSD card.
Consider whether audio quality or length of recording are more
important for your situation, and choose the quality that’s
appropriate for you.

Recording
Using Limiter or AGC
Cutting the Low-Frequency Range
The limiter setting gives you three choices: “ON” to use the limiter,
“AGC” to use Auto Gain Control, or “OFF” to use neither. Normally
you’ll choose “OFF.”
If low cut is set to anything other than “OFF,” the low-frequency
range below the specified frequency is cut. Normally you’ll choose
“OFF.”
The Limiter is a function that compresses the recording level when
the input sound becomes too loud, thus preventing distortion.
If you have problems with low-frequency noise, such as the wind
noise that is often present in outdoor recordings, the rumble from
automobiles or machines, or vibration, you may be able to reduce
this noise by cutting the low-frequency range.
AGC increases the recording level if the input is low, and decreases
the level if the input is too high, thus recording at a consistent
level. This allows recording at a consistent volume during a
meeting that might include people who are distant or nearby, and
both loud voices and soft voices.
If you record music or an instrumental performance with
the limiter set to “ON” or “AGC,” the varying dynamics of the
performance will be recorded at a consistent level, impairing
the musical expressiveness. If you want to record the sound
with its natural dynamics intact, leave the Limiter turned “OFF.”
NOTE
If you have problems with the breath noise or muffled tone that
can occur when recording a vocal, cutting the low-frequency
range will give you a more crisp recording.
Setting the frequency at which to cut
1. Press [SCENE] to access the “Scene” screen.
2. Use [

Recording
Adjusting the Input Level
The R-07 is designed to let you record a wide range of sounds. By
adjusting the input level (volume) appropriately for the source
you’re recording, you’ll be able to record with optimal quality.
The basic principle when adjusting the level is to get the level
as high as possible without allowing distortion to occur. This
principle applies whether you’re using the built-in mics, an
external mic, or AUX IN.
Manually Adjusting the Input Level
NOTE
You can’t adjust the recording level if Limiter (p. 16) is “AGC.”
1. Point the R-07’s mics toward the source you’ll be
recording.
2. In the main screen, press [ ] so the REC/PLAY
indicator is blinking red.
The R-07 is in recording-standby mode.
4. While the sound plays, use INPUT [+] [–] to adjust
the recording level a little at a time.
MEMO
If the recording mode is set to 2xWAV- (dual-level recording),
the input level cannot be set to a value of 1–41.
The higher the level at which the sound is being captured, the
farther toward the right the level meter will move. Use INPUT [+]
[–] to adjust the level so that the sound is captured at as high a
level as possible.
However, don’t allow the PEAK indicator to light; this indicates
that the input volume is excessive.
If the PEAK indicator lights, this means that the input has
exceeded the maximum volume that can be recorded by the R-07;
i.e., the input is “clipping.” Sound that’s recorded in this condition
will be distorted.

Use INPUT [+] [–] to adjust the level so that even the loudest
passages do not cause the PEAK indicator to light; i.e., so that
clipping does not occur. If you’re recording a song, make sure that
clipping does not occur during the climax of a vocal or during a
fortissimo passage of an instrumental performance.
5. When you’ve finished adjusting the level, press [ ]
to start recording.
MEMO
If you’re going to record a musical performance such as an
instrument or vocal, you should play the loudest passage of the
song.
55 To stop recording, press [ ]; you’ll return to the main screen.
The level setting will be preserved, so you can press [ ] once
again to start recording at the same recording level.
55 When using the INPUT [+] [–] buttons, you might hear a
slight noise when the input level changes; this does not
indicate a malfunction.

two seconds of sound that preceded the moment you press [ ].
Even for situations in which you’re not sure when the desired
sound will begin, such as when recording outdoors, this function
ensures that you can record without missing the first moments of
the sound.

No sound is output if the R-07’s volume is set to “0.” Raise the R-07’s volume.
No sound is heard if you’ve lowered the volume of the Bluetooth headphones or
speakers. Raise the volume of the Bluetooth headphones or speakers.
Noise might be heard if there is a nearby device that uses the same frequency range
(2.4 GHz) as the R-07. Move the R-07’ away from other devices that use the same
frequency range (2.4 GHz).
Noise is heard from the Bluetooth
headphones or speakers
Noise might be heard if there is an obstruction such as a wall or person between the
R-07 and the Bluetooth device.
Use the R-07 in an unobstructed location with a clear line of sight. The distance at
which communication is possible might be shorter for some Bluetooth devices. Use
the Bluetooth device as near as possible to the R-07.
The R-07’s Bluetooth indicator remains
blinking
Depending on conditions, a Bluetooth device connected to the R-07 might be
disconnected. Power-on the Bluetooth device and reconnect it. If it does not

Troubleshooting
44
Problem
Cause
Page
File name display is slow when selecting a
file
Even if the file name extension is .MP3 or .WAV, the display when selecting a file will
be slower if the file is damaged, if the file is an invalid file or an unsupported type of
MP3, or if the file is of a large size. This occurs because the R-07 needs to determine
whether it is able to play the file.
p. 25
Feedback occurs when monitoring through
headphones
If you’re monitoring the recording through open-air type headphones, acoustic
feedback might occur if the R-07’s mics pick up the sound from your headphones.
The R-07’s built-in mics are able to detect even faint sound, so keep your
headphones away from the built-in mics.
p. 19
Internal clock is reset
When a USB AC adaptor and USB cable are connected, or when batteries are
installed, the internal clock is supplied with power and begins operating. If several
minutes pass with the batteries removed, the internal clock will return to its default p. 7
setting. When you turn on the power in this state, the message “Clock Initialized” will
appear. If this message appears, please reset the date and time.
Can’t divide or join files
The microSD card must have twice as much free space as occupied by the
corresponding file(s). It is not possible to join files that would exceed 2 GB in size.
