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.

REC
(

position 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.

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.
Start level (moves to the
right/left according to the
set level)
• The start/stop actuation level also varies
depending on the selected microphone
sensitivity mode (
☞
P.38).
• To ensure successful recordings, prior testing and
adjustment of the start/stop actuation level is
recommended.
