Notes
 Sampling frequency is a value that represents how many times an analog signal is
converted into a digital signal (A/D conversion) per second. The larger the value of
sampling frequency, the better the sound quality, but also the larger the amount of
data. Sound quality of 44.1 kHz is equivalent to that of a CD, 48 kHz is equivalent
to that of a DAT, and 96 kHz is equivalent to DVD Audio.
 Quantifying bit number is a value that represents the amount of data it takes for
one second of audio. The larger the value of the bit number, the larger amount of
data it takes and the better the sound quality.
6) Your computer must have software that supports 24-bit audio data to play back, edit, etc., sound with a
quantifying bit number of 24 bits.
7) In digital recording, this function does not work.
