Microphone sensitivity is adjustable to meet your recording needs.

HI: High-sensitivity mode that records sounds in all directions.
LOW: Low-sensitivity mode suited for dictation.
• To ensure successful recording, make a test recording to choose
appropriate microphone sensitivity before recording.
• If you choose “HI”, we recommend setting the recording mode to
XHQ or HQ to best take advantage of the higher sensitivity.

recording conditions.

Using the Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA)
When the microphone senses that sounds has 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.
In Menu mode selection... On, OFF
• During recording, use the
+
and
–
buttons to adjust the VCVA level in
15 levels.
• The Record/Play indicator light is lit during recording. When the
recorder is in Standby mode, the Record/Play indicator light flashes
and “VCVA” flashes on the display.
