Hint:

· What is Linear PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) recording?

Linear PCM (LPCM) recording is a digital recording method that samples analog audio signals at a certain frequency and saves them as digital signals without compression.

Music CDs (CD-DA–CD digital Audio) use PCM recording (sampling rate of 44.1kHz, bit depth of 16-bit samples, bit rate of 1,411kbps, and frequency response from 20 to

20kHz).

PCM recordings are digitally-recorded unprocessed audio, and are supposed to be of the highest sound quality. “WAVE” format is used to import these PCM recording files into a computer. The WAVE file extension is “.WAV”. MP3 and WMA format files are created by compressing the LPCM data.

· Recording margin indicator

Recording margin: space or margin (expressed in dB) between 0dB and the input peak levels.

Setting the Auto Divide function (AUTO DIVIDE)

If you turn the Auto Divide function on when recording a line source, such as tracks from a CD player, the unit automatically detects a silent pause between tracks and records each track as an individual file. More specifically, when the recorder detects a silent pause of two seconds or longer, it pauses recording, thus storing the audio data up to the silent pause as one file. In this way, the unit will record the first track as file 1, the second track as file 2, and so on.

This function is available only for MP3 files recorded via Line In. You cannot use this function for PCM line recordings, or PCM or MP3 recordings made by using the built-in or external microphone.

It is recommended that you turn the

Recycle Bin function on to avoid accidental erasure.

When the Recycle Bin is full, you must empty it to increase the remaining recording time.

Otherwise, you may be unable to record. Empty the Recycle Bin regularly.

Note:

· The Recycle Bin folder can accommodate up to 199 files. If the Recycle Bin folder is full and you cannot move any more files to the Recycle Bin, move some files from the

Files are stored in the following folders on the internal memory or microSD card.

• MIC(A–D) / MIC_(A–D)_SD

These folders store audio files (in MP3 or WAV format) recorded by the unit.

Note:

· Do not move the files to a different folder. For example, do not move a file in the A folder to the B folder. Otherwise, you will be unable to play the file.

· Also, please note that if you change the name of an MP3 or WAV file (originally recorded on the unit) on the computer, then move the file back to the MIC (A–D) folder, you will be unable to play the file on the unit. To play the file, first rename the file following the file naming rules, or move the file to the MUSIC (M) folder (see

page 70

).

• MUSIC

This folder stores music and other audio files transferred from a connected computer.

To play the transferred files, the files must be in MP3 or WMA format or WAV files that were recorded on the unit. There are no naming rules that apply to these files.

The recorder offers five Playlist files (PLIST1–5.M3U). You can play your favorite songs in your preferred order by creating Playlists using the files stored in the MUSIC folder (see

page 44

).

Note:

· Files in each folder are automatically sorted numerically in ascending order based on the number that appears at the start of each file name.

If the number of digits varies (e.g., “001xxxxx”, “01xxxxxx”, and “1xxxxxxx”), files will be sorted in the following order: “001xxxxx”, “01xxxxxx”, then “1xxxxxxx”.

· You can create sub-folders (in up to two hierarchies) inside the MUSIC folder to organize the music files by albums or musicians (see

page 69

).

· Please note that if the MUSIC (M) folder contains a file with the same name as that of the audio file you are transferring from a computer, the file in the MUSIC folder will be overwritten by the one transferred from the computer.

• DATA

This folder stores data files (of MS Excel, MS Word, etc.) and enables you to use the recorder as a USB flash drive or a microSD card reader/writer (removable disk).

Note:

· The recorder will not play any audio or music files that are placed in this folder.

· This folder will be recognized only by a connected computer. The recorder will not display this folder on its screen.

• LINE(L) / LINE(L)_SD

This folder stores files recorded from external devices via the line connection.

Please note that if you change the name of an MP3 file (originally recorded on the unit) on the computer, then move the file back to the LINE (L) folder, you will be unable to play the file on the unit. To play the file, first rename the file following the file naming

rules, or move the file to the MUSIC (M) folder (see page 70

).

• RECYCLE

This is the Recycle Bin folder. While the Recycle Bin function is active, files deleted on the recorder will move to this folder. You can restore files from the Recycle Bin folder, which can be a life saver if you delete a file accidentally.

• MANUAL

This folder stores the Owner’s Manual and Reference Manual in PDF format. These manuals are organized into the sub-folders by language.

If you initialize the recorder’s internal memory, the MANUAL folder will also be erased. If necessary, you can download the manuals from the following website: http://www.yamahasynth.com/

Possible cause The unit is not connected to the computer correctly.


In some cases, the unit may not display the “Connected” icon or may not be recognized when it is connected to a computer. Disconnect the unit from the computer, then reconnect it.

The recorded audio sounds noisy.

Possible cause Wind noise has been recorded.


The built-in stereo microphone is highly sensitive. Therefore, a slight breeze or breath — even a weak air conditioning breeze that hits the microphones directly — will be recorded as noise. To reduce the level of wind and other environmental noise:

• Use the recorder with the wind screen (protection against wind and sibilance) attached to the built-in stereo microphones.

• Turn on the High Pass Filter via menu item [HPF] (see

page 21

).

• Set the [MIC SENS] (microphone sensitivity) switch to [LOW].

The recorded sound is distorted.

Possible cause


The microphone sensitivity level may not be appropriately set.

• Set the [MIC SENS] (microphone sensitivity) switch to [LOW]. If you still hear distortion, set the High Pass Filter to ON and attach the

windscreen to the recorder (see page 21

).

• If the ALC function is turned off, set the recording peak limiter to ON

(see

page 21 ).

The recorded sound skips.

Possible cause


• The microSD card was formatted not on the recorder, but on a computer or other device.

• The microSD card may be fragmented significantly.

Use the recorder to format the microSD card (see page 53

).

Possible cause


You are using a microSD card that is not recommended by Yamaha.

Use a microSD card that is recommended by Yamaha (refer to the Owner’s

Owner’s Manual (1)

• Battery life varies depending on the type and manufacturer of the battery, storage conditions, usage, ambient temperature, etc. The battery life values listed above are estimates and are not guaranteed.

• 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. You cannot charge a nickel-metal hydride battery using the unit.

• The available recording time refers to the optimal total recording time available for all folders, and assumes that no recorded data exists in the internal memory and that one continuous recording is made without changing the recording mode.

• The largest available recording space (for continuous recording) in one file is 2GB. If the largest available recording space (2GB) is reached, recording in the next file will automatically start in about two seconds (when using a microSDHC card). However, you will be unable to record continuously beyond the battery life.

• When you purchase the recorder, the manuals are stored in PDF format in the internal memory. Therefore, the actual available recording time is less than the above time.

• Specifications and descriptions in this owner’s manual are for information purposes only. Yamaha Corp. reserves the right to change or modify products or specifications at any time without prior notice. Since specifications, equipment or options may not be the same in every locale, please check with your Yamaha dealer.
