Using the Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA)
The Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) is a function that starts recording automatically when the microphone senses that sounds have reached a preset threshold volume level, and automatically pauses when the volume drops below the threshold. The VCVAfeature allows you to conserve memory by automatically stopping recording in instances like long silent periods during meetings.
When this is enabled, VCVA will appear on the display.

When the sound volume is lower than the preset actuation sound level, recording automatically stops after 1 second approximately, and “Stand by” flashes on the display. The record/play indicator light glows when recording starts and flashes when recording pauses.

Adjust the Start/Stop Actuation Level
While the recorder is recording mode, press the 9or0button to adjust the actuation level.
The VCVA level can be set to any of 15 different values. The higher the value is, the more sensitive the recorder can react to sounds. At the highest value, even the faintest sound will activate recording.
The VCVA actuation level can be adjusted according to the ambient (background) noise.
