During recording or playback, press the A key on the Directrec or click the √ icon in the toolbar of the 'Remote Editor' window. Up to 16 marks can be added per file.

How to adjust microphone sensitivity?

In the 'Remote Editor' window, use the 'Sensitivity' field to choose between 'Dictation' (low sensitivity mode, ideal for close dictation) and 'Conference' (high sensitivity mode for capturing ambient sound).

How to assign a priority level?

Press the B key on the Directrec to toggle between high priority (checked in the window) and normal. You can also do this directly in the 'Remote Editor' window using the 'Priority' checkbox.

The recording format is DSS (Digital Speech Standard). Files have the .dss extension and can be managed with DSS Player Pro software.
