What are the main features of this model?

The Olympus Note Corder DP-10 digital recorder records in the Windows Media® Audio (WMA) audio format. The two recording modes provide options for recording high-quality sound files or expanding memory capacity by using a lower-quality recording mode. The EAR jack enables playback through earphones or earbuds.

How much recording time is available in the DP-10?

The length of potential recording time available in the DP-10 is governed by the recording mode selected.

An HQ (High Quality) mode recording uses more memory than an SP (Standard Play) mode recording because the HQ mode makes a more-detailed digital record than does the SP mode.

The table below shows the approximate maximum recording times possible in the DP-10 in the different quality modes:

How is the DP-10 turned off?

The [POWER] switch is the recorder's ON/OFF control. It is recommended to set the switch to OFF/HOLD when replacing the batteries to preserve the time and date settings.

How is the recording volume controlled?

The DP-10 always records at 100% volume level to prevent accidentally recording with the volume set too low.

The recorder has two levels of microphone sensitivity:

• HIGH () is a high-sensitivity level used in conference or lecture situations.

• LOW () is a low-sensitivity level used for close-up recording.

Microphone sensitivity is set using the MIC SENSE switch on the left side of the recorder.

How is the playback volume controlled?

The playback volume is controlled using the VOL dial on top of the recorder.

Can playback speed be controlled?

Playback speed is controlled using the PLAY SPEED switch on the right side of the recorder. The options are x0.50, x0.75, x1.00, x1.25 and x1.50.
