Arno and Bill,

In addition to what Arno says, with your existing Music CDs, you cannot
change the number of hours that you record as they will always record in
.CDA format i.e. you will only get 70/80 minutes of recording on this type
of disc depending on the capacity of the discs you have.

However, if you are recording a convention, I would recommend that you
select the "Conference" option as the recording mode rather than "Music" as
the noise level in the "Music" option will be set to "Low".  Obviously in a
convention or similar there is normally a lot of background noise and I
would suggest either the "Conference" option or use the "Custom" option and
set all the parameters individually.  If the noise level is set to "Low" and
the location is noisy, you will get poor phrase splitting.  This may not be
important for your purposes in this instance in which case the Music option
will do fine.

Regards,

Jamie


I would suggest

Hi Bill,
you should use a data disc, not an audio disc. The PTR1 will announce that
it will create a DAISY, but the files are of course usual WAV or MP3 audio
files.
Press the 5 key for the menue 2 times the 6 key to recording settings and
enter key.
Press enter again and select music.
Press enter and select MP3 128k stereo.
Press enter to finish the configuration.
Now you'll have some hours free for recording in FM quality.
However, you should made a short test to find out if 128k is good enough. If
not, you should try the 256k option. That of course reduces the record time
to the half, but still give you some hours to record.
