Each time you press the REC MODE button, the recording

Note
Choose HQ or SP mode for recording meetings or lectures with crisp clarity.
Microphone Sensitivity
Microphone sensitivity is adjustable to meet your
recording needs.
Using the MICSENS switch, choose between
the NORMAL and LECTURE positions.
NORMAL: Normal-sensitivity Omnidirectional
mode for dictation.
LECTURE: High-sensitivity Unidirectional mode
for meetings or lectures.
Notes
Be sure to choose HQ or SP recording mode if you set
the MICSENS switch to the LECTURE position to use
the characteristics of the unidirectional microphone to
the fullest.
Do NOT touch the microphone grill while recording. Doing so may cause noise, and the
performance of the microphone may deteriorate.
Be sure to keep the front microphone oriented toward the speaker during recording.
To ensure successful recording, make a test recording to choose appropriate microphone
sensitivity before recording.

Using the Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA)
When the microphone senses that sounds have reached a preset volume, the built-
in Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) starts recording automatically, and stops
it when the volume drops.
Particularly helpful for extended recording, the VCVA not only conserves memory
by turning off recording during silent periods, but also makes playback more efficient
and convenient.

1 second or longer.
The menu opens, and “VCVA” appears on the display.

“On” and “OFF.”
On: The VCVA is activated.
OFF: The VCVA is canceled.

Notes
When the VCVA senses sound louder than its start/stop actuation
level setting, recording starts automatically. When it senses silence
for 1 second or longer, recording pauses automatically, and the recorder enters Standby mode.
When recording is in progress, the recording lamp is lit. When the recorder is in Standby
mode, “VCVA” flashes on the display, and the recording lamp flashes.
