Starting Recording Automatically in Response to the Sound

— Advanced VOR function

When the VOR (voice operated recording) function is set to on in the

menu, recording starts when the recorder detects sound and stops when

no sound is heard.

When you record messages with VOR set to ON, the recording pauses

when no sound is detected, and “VOR REC PAUSE” appears in the

display window.

You can change the VOR setting with the menu during

recording (page 59).

Note

VOR function is affected by the sound around you.

Set the MIC SENS to either

H or L

according to the recording conditions. If recording is not satisfactory

after you have changed the microphone sensitivity, or for important recording,

set the VOR to OFF.

To select the recording mode (SP/LP)

You can select the recording mode by setting MODE in the menu (page

60).

LP mode is suitable for long time recording as a meeting.

But if you

wish to record for better tone quality, then SP mode is suitable for this

purpose.

(Usually, SP mode is suitable for recording.)

To select the microphone sensitivity

You can select the microphone sensitivity by setting the MIC SENS in the

menu to H (high) or L (low) according the recording conditions (page 59).

You can change the MIC SENS setting with the menu during recording.

To monitor the recording

Connect the supplied earphone to the EAR jack. You can adjust the volume

with VOL +/– , but the recording level is fixed.

Note

If you turn up the volume excessively or place the earphone near the

microphone while monitoring recording, the microphone may pick up the

sound from the earphone, causing acoustic feedback (howling sound).
