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.
