Using the Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA)

When the microphone senses that sounds have reached a preset actuation volume level, the built-in Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) starts recording automatically, and stops when the volume drops below the actuation level. The VCVA feature helps extending recording time and conserves the memory by turning off recording during silent periods. This helps make the playback, with no lulls or dead space, more efficient and convenient.

1 Set the VCVA in the menu to ON (P.37- 38).

2 Press the REC button to start recording. When the sound volume is lower than the preset

2 actuation sound level, recording automatically stops after 1 second approximately, and “STANDBY” flashes on the display. The record/play indicator lamp glows when recording starts and flashes when recording pauses.

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.
