Topic: iriver H1xx Tapers FAQ (beta)

[whatboutbob]

I've just made a bunch of little edits, added a screenshot and:

[080] So now Rockbox is installed, what are all these settings?!
[081] Recording Settings
[082] Peak Meter Settings
[083] Other useful settings for tapers
[084] What happened to the other Recording Settings, such as Channels and Freq?
[085] So now that everything is configured, how do I record with this thing?

Apparently analog recording requires an audio clock that is simply not available.

So swapping a crystal could give us 48K?

No idea. Amiconn or LinusN on the rockbox irc channel may know: http://www.rockbox.org/irc/

Rockbox will play 24bit 48k WAV back uncompressed.  It has issues with 24bit FLAC though and will hang, so playback of 20bit or higher is no problem.

It'll play 'em...but they'll be truncated to 16bits.

AMAZING FAQ. Thanks so much. THis is my first post. Cheers!

dumb question, i know, but.....

i see several mentions that the iriver cannot record analog in @ 48 kHz. however, i have my iriver set to record Line In and under the Record Settings>Frequency, there *is* the option of recording @ 48 KHz.

so what is the issue with recording analog in @ 48 kHz? just curious.

Quick question (that I'm pretty sure I could answer by trying it myself, but anyway) - when in FM mode, can you still record, i.e. tape radio broadcasts?

yep, set the recording setting to line in

This option has been removed as anything other than 16bit/44kHz will not be supported in the near future

Ahh....good to know.

The option might be there in your build, but it doesn't actually work on the iriver h1xx (I *think* it was a remnant from the archos code).  So the option has been removed as of yesterday.

i can listen to, and record that same fm signal simultaneously?  can someone post a "how to" workflow?

• Go to the FM radio screen and select the station you want to hear/record
• Go to the menu from within the radio screen
• Select recording and set the source to line-in

[Gawain]

I just set 'line in' as source before go to the preset. Then you just need to go to the general menu (while listening, of course) with the 'A-B' button, show the recording screen ands start with it

If anyone cares, I just finished a spdif recording battery test.  I was sending an optical signal from my h140 to my h120 w/ a 2200mAh battery.

It died just after 13.5hrs.

This is a low-ball figure, as the clip light was enabled and triggered far more than it would in the field.

This should mean that the stock 1300mAh battery would get at least 8hrs spdif recording.
