AUTOMATIC SELECTION OF RECORDING MODE IN PORTABLE DIGITAL AUDIO RECORDER

摘要

A portable digital audio recorder is operable with solid state memory cards having varying storage capacities. When a memory card is installed (100) in the recorder then automatically selects a recording mode based on the detected storage capacity of the memory card. When the memory card has a high storage capacity (102), the recorder selects a high-quality recording mode (104), with low or no data compression. When the storage capacity of the memory card is relatively small (102), the recorder selects a high-compression recording mode (106).
