Notes • "LP:" will be added at the beginning of the track name of a track recorded in MDLP mode. • It is recommended that you use the supplied AC power adaptor for long recordings. • During monaural recording of a stereo sound source connected through the digital (optical) input jack, you can still monitor the recorded sound in stereo by using headphones or earphones connected to the i/LINE OUT jack. • When you record in LP4 mode, momentary noise may be produced on very rare occasions with certain sound sources. This is because of the special digital audio compression technology that enables a recording time 4 times longer than normal. If noise is produced, it is recommended that you record in normal stereo or LP2 mode to obtain better sound quality. VOR (Voice Operated Recording) VOR causes the recorder to automatically record when there is sound, and to pause when there is no sound. This allows you to record without troublesome button operations. MIC SENS built-in microphones zREC VOR indicator REC MODE VOR 1 Insert a recordable disc and slide MIC SENS to H (high) or L (low). 2 Press REC MODE repeatedly until "STEREO", "LP2", "LP4", or "MONO" lights up in the display. For details on the recording mode, see "Recording for long times" (page 16). 3 Press zREC. 4 Press VOR. VOR turns on. "VOR" appears in the display and the VOR indicator lights up when the recorder is recording. Both "VOR" and the VOR indicator flash when the recorder is not recording. To cancel VOR while recording Press VOR again. "VOR" and the VOR indicator goes off and the recorder changes to normal recording mode. z • VOR automatically turns off when you press the xSTOP button to stop recording. • You can change the recording mode when VOR is on and the recorder is not recording (while "VOR" and VOR indicator flash). A track mark is added each time you press the REC MODE button. Notes • You cannot record with the built-in microphones while an optional microphone is connected to the MIC (PLUG IN POWER) jack or an optical cable (not supplied) is connected to the LINE IN (OPTICAL) jack. • VOR is sensitive to the surrounding sound conditions. Set the MIC SENS switch to H or L to suit the conditions. If you cannot get the desired recording results, cancel VOR and record in manual mode. • Power from the batteries is consumed as long as VOR is on, even when recording is not taking place (i.e., when "VOR" and the VOR indicator flash.) 17-GB
