A note in advance: it is strictly speaking the type DVT 8000, only without the extra meetings for optimized desktop microphone. The type designation in the software called the device DVT 8000. Considering that the device is particularly suitable for recording music, I have no precise out because - and there is the point deduction - the operating instructions, which of course it only PDF is the representation of the operating modes for different types of use is poor and therefore deficient. What settings you for certain records - must make, there is nothing about it - just music, for example, a band or a choir.. Also, two calls to the Servicenr. Philips were unsuccessful. Either you did not understand my question clear or colleagues had no idea. From service no trace. Whether the device for recorded music is well suited, therefore I can not judge (yet); for other applications, it is good.
