Therefore, the actual available recording time is less than estimated above. * 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 Application ALC OFF The recording will accurately represent the original sound, and maintain sound dynamics as is. Musical performance and nature recordings ALC ON 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. Musical practice, conference meetings and interview recordings ■ Microphone sensitivity You can set the microphone sensitivity level to high or low to accommodate the recording environment. If the recorded audio level is too low or too high, change the microphone sensitivity setting. Setting the microphone sensitivity Press the [MENU/FOLDER] button while the main screen is displayed, select [REC MENU] → [MIC SENS], then select [HIGH] or [LOW]. If the volume level is too low, select [HIGH]. If the volume level is too high, set [MIC SENS] to [LOW]. ■ Recording peak limiter When the recording peak limiter is set to ON, the recorder reduces sound distortion by automatically adjusting excessive peaks. It is recommended that you set the limiter to ON when you record audio. Setting the recording peak limiter Press the [MENU/FOLDER] button while the main screen is displayed, select [REC MENU] → [REC LIMITER], then select [ON]. The peak limiter is available only when the ALC function is set to OFF. POCKETRAK C24 Owner's Manual 17
