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.
1 Select [VCVA] from the menu on
the [Rec Menu].
[On]:
Enables the VCVA function.
[Off]:
Disables this function. Will resume
recording in normal mode.
4 Adjust the start/stop actuation
level:
1 Press 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
LED indicator light turns on when
recording starts and flashes when
recording pauses.
2 Press the
9 or 0 button to
adjust the start/stop actuation
level.
• The VCVA level can be set to any of 15
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.
Notes
• If the start/stop actuation level is not
adjusted within 2 seconds, the display
will return to the previous one.
• To ensure successful recordings, prior
testing and adjustment of the start/stop
actuation level is recommended.
