• Microphone Sensitivity (MIC)
Microphone sensitivity is adjustable to meet your recording needs.
In Menu mode selection... HI, LO
HI: High-sensitivity mode that records sounds in all directions.
LO: 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 frsTiftHQ or
HQ to best take advantage of the higher sensitivity.
• If you choose "HI", background noise may be high depending on the recording conditions.

• 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.

• Using the FF and REW buttons, the VCVA level can be adjusted in 15 levels.
• The recording/playing lamp is lit during recording. When the recorder is in Standby
mode, the recording/playing lamp flashes and "VCVA" flashes on the display.
