VCVA

When the microphone senses that sounds have reached a preset threshold volume level, the built-in Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) starts recording automatically, and stops when the volume drops below the threshold level. The VCVA feature extends recording time and conserves memory by stopping recording during silent periods, which helps the playback to be more efficient.

1Select [On/Off] or [Standby].

2Sets the VCVA function.

When [On/Off] is selected: [On]:

Enables the VCVA function. Will start recording in VCVA mode.

[Off]:

Disables this function. Will resume recording in normal mode.

When [Standby] is selected:

[On]: With this setting, the recording monitor (earphone output) is disabled during VCVA standby

(P.33), which allows you to confirm VCVA actuation status by the earphone output.

[Off]: The audio signal is always output from the earphone jack.

Adjust the start/stop actuation level:

1Press the REC (s) button to start recording.

When the sound volume is lower than the preset threshold sound level, recording automatically stops after

1 sec approximately, and [Standby] flashes on the display. The recording indicator light glows when recording starts and flashes when recording pauses.

2Press the 9or 0button to adjust the start/stop actuation level.

The VCVA level can be set to any of 23 different values.

The higher the value, the more sensitive the recorder will be to sounds. At the highest value, even the faintest sound will activate recording.
