Using the Variable Control Voice Actuator [VCVA]
The Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) is a
function that starts recording automatically when
the microphone senses that sounds have reached
a preset threshold volume level, and automatically
pauses when the volume drops below the threshold.
The VCVA feature allows you to conserve memory by
automatically stopping recording in instances like
long silent periods during meetings.
When this is enabled, [
VCVA
] will appear on the
display.
1 Set the VCVA in the menu to [
On
].
• Refer to P.41 regarding each menu item
settings.
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 “Stand
by” flashes on the display. The record indicator
light glows orange and [
] (Record indicator)
appears when recording starts and flashes when
recording pauses.
Adjust the start/stop actuation level:
While the recorder is in recording mode, 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.

Notes
• The start/stop actuation level also varies
depending on the selected microphone
sensitivity mode (☞ P.27).
• To ensure successful recordings, prior testing and
adjustment of the start/stop actuation level is
recommended.
