Notes

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

If the starting level is not adjusted within 2 seconds, the display will return to the previous.

If the surrounding noise is loud, the starting sensitivity of the VCVA can be adjusted according to the recording situation.

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