4 Microphone Sensitivity (HI LOW) Microphone sensitivity display Microphone sensitivity is adjustable to meet your recording needs. In Menu mode selection... HI, LOW HI: High-sensitivity mode that records sounds in all directions. LOW: Low-sensitivity mode suited for dictation. s To ensure successful recording, make a test recording to choose appropriate microphone sensitivity before recording. s If you choose "HI", we recommend setting the recording mode to XHQ or HQ to best take advantage of the higher sensitivity. s If you choose "HI", background noise may be high depending on the recording conditions. 4 Using The Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) When the microphone senses that sounds has 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. In Menu mode selection... On, OFF s During recording, use the + and - buttons to adjust the VCVA level in 15 levels. s The Record/play indicator light is lit during recording. When the recorder is in Standby mode, the Record/play indicator light flashes and "VCVA" flashes on the display.
