Using the Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA)

When the microphone senses that sounds have reached a preset volume, the built-in Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) starts recording automatically, and stops when the volume drops. Particularly helpful for extended recording, the VCVA not only conserves memory by turning off recording during silent periods, but also makes playback more efficient and convenient.

1 Start recording with the VCVA switch set to ON. When the volume falls to a preset level or lower, recording automatically pauses, and “STANDBY VCVA” flashes on the display. The record/play lamp glows when recording

starts and flashes when recording pauses.

2 Using the VOLUME control, adjust the start/stop actuation level.

The higher the VOLUME control is set, the more sensitive the start/stop level becomes, allowing recording to automatically begin at a quieter level.

Notes

•The start/stop actuation level also varies depending on the selected microphone sensitivity mode (☞ P.21).

•To ensure successful recordings, prior testing and adjustment of the start/stop actuation level is recommended.
