[PCM]*: [44.1 kHz/16 bit]
[MP3]*: [256 kbps], [128 kbps]
[WMA]: [ST XQ], [ST HQ], [ST SP], [HQ],

• To record a meeting and lecture clearly,
set other than [LP] in [Rec Mode].
• When the external monaural microphone
is used while [Rec Mode] is set to a stereo 
recording mode, it enables recording 
only with the L channel microphone.
Low Cut Filter
The recorder has a Low Cut Filter function to 
minimize low-frequency sounds and record 
voices more clearly. This function can reduce 
noise from air conditioners, projectors and 
other similar noises.
[On]:
 
Enables the Low Cut Filter function.
[Off]:
 
Disables this function.
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.
[On]:
 
Enables the VCVA function. Will start 
recording in VCVA mode.
[Off]:
 
Disables this function. Will resume 
recording in normal mode.
Adjust the start/stop actuation 
level:

the
REC (

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.

Press
the
9 or 0 button
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 to sounds. At 
the highest value, even the faintest 
sound will activate recording.
