press the 9 or 0 button to adjust the
actuation level.
• The VCVA level can be set to any of 15 different
values.
• The higher the value is, the more sensitive the
recorder can react to sounds. At the highest value,
even the faintest sound will activate recording.
• The VCVA actuation level can be adjusted
according to the ambient (background) noise.

• Since the built-in microphone is monaural, even
if you enable [ PCM ST ] in [ Rec Mode ] the sound
recorded through the built-in microphone will
be monaural. In order to do stereo recording, an
external stereo microphone will be necessary
(optional).
• You cannot select the [ DSS Pro QP ] mode when
setting the recorder to the DSS Classic mode.
For details, see “ Recording ” in the “ Customizing
the recorder ” ( ☞ P.43).
VCVA
The VCVA feature extends recording time and
conserves memory by stopping recording during
silent periods, which helps the playback to be more
efficient. 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.
1 Select [ On ].
2 Press the REC button to start recording.
• When the sound volume is lower than the
preset actuation sound level, recording
automatically stops after 1 second
approximately, and [ Standby ] flashes on
the display. The record indicator light turns
on when recording starts and flashes when
recording pauses.
