5.4 Recording in-room conversations
The CR-200 has an integrated microphone that enables you to record not only
telephone conversations but also in-room conversations, i.e. meetings and round-table
discussions, for example. To make an in-room recording, you have to move the ‘Mic’
switch on the CR-200 into the ‘on’ position (see section 3.2.3, also regarding the
connection of an external microphone). Then set up the CR-200 so that the distance to
each participant in the conversation is about equal and also not more than approx. 1.5
to 2 metres.
NOTE: If the ‘Mic’ switch is in position ‘on’, the ‘Monitor’ function of the CR-200 is
automatically disabled to avoid acoustic feedback. Moreover, if the ‘Mic’ switch is in ‘on’
position, the CR-200 unit’s possibly activated automatic call detection (see section 7.2)
will be deactivated temporarily, as automatic detection of the start and end of such in-
room conversations can cause the automated system to malfunction due to the varied
volume levels involved.
TIP: You can also - at the end of a telephone recording running - switch on the micro-
phone temporarily to add a spoken comment regarding the conversation. Please note
that the automatic recording stop will be deactivated as long as the microphone is
switched on.
NOTE: After recording an in-room conversation do not forget to put the ‘Mic off-on’
switch back into the ‘off’ position, if you subsequently want to record telephone
conversations again with your CR-200.
