Maximizing the volume level of softly recorded files to make recordings sound clearer (Normalize)

With the Normalize function, audio plays back with the entire volume level raised () to a range in which the point of the recorded file’s maximum volume does not distort (warp) the sound. This makes it easy to hear softly recorded files that are difficult to hear, even if you have raised the volume.

  1. While playback is on standby or in progress, select [Normalize] on the OPTION menu, and then press(play).

  2. Press(move up) or(move down) to select [ON] or [OFF], and then press(play).
