Low Cut Filter The recorder has a Low Cut Filter function to minimize low-frequency sounds and record voices more clearly. This function can reduce noise from air conditioners, projectors and other similar noises. [On]: Enables the Low Cut Filter function. [Off]: Disables this function. 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. [On]: Enables the VCVA function. Will start recording in VCVA mode. [Off]: Disables this function. Will resume recording in normal mode. 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] 4 flashes on the display. The recording indicator light glows when recording starts and flashes when recording pauses. 2 Press the 9 or 0 button 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 to sounds. At the highest value, even the faintest sound will activate recording. a b a Level meter (varies according to the sound volume being recorded) b Start level (moves to the right/left according to the set level) EN 39 Menu setting method
