Menu setting method VCVA 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. The VCVA feature extends recording time and conserves memory by stopping recording during silent periods, which helps the playback to be more efficient. 1 Select [VCVA] from the menu on the [Rec Menu]. [On]: Enables the VCVA function. 4 [Off]: Disables this function. Will resume recording in normal mode. 4 Adjust the start/stop actuation level: 1 Press the REC (s) button to start recording. • When the sound volume is lower than the preset threshold sound level, recording automatically stops after 1 sec approximately, and [Standby] flashes on the display. The LED indicator light turns on when recording starts and flashes when recording pauses. 2 Press the 9 or 0 button to adjust the start/stop actuation level. • The VCVA level can be set to any of 15 different values. • The higher the value, the more sensitive the recorder will be to sounds. At the highest value, even the faintest sound will activate recording. Notes • If the start/stop actuation level is not adjusted within 2 seconds, the display will return to the previous one. • To ensure successful recordings, prior testing and adjustment of the start/stop actuation level is recommended.
