For WS-813:

This function can be switched using the built-in stereo microphone from expansive stereo recording to high directivity recording.

•Increasing the value narrows the directivity.

•Decreasing the value widens the directivity, enabling you to record in an expansive stereo sound.

•If you reduce the directivity and widen the recording range, the recorded sound has an expansive stereo feeling.

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 playback to be more efficient.

[On]:

Enables the VCVA function. Starts recording in VCVA mode.

[Off]:

Disables the VCVA function. Resumes recording in normal mode.

4Adjust the start/stop actuation level:

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