CONVENIENT FEATURES
VARIABLE CONTROL VOICE ACTUATOR (VCVA) RECORDING
In order to improve performance in long recordings, this recorder is equipped with a voice activated
recording function (called VCVA by Olympus). This function helps save memory capacity and extends
recording time with very little loss of voice data at the moment of activation.

Press the MENU switch once (for less than 2 seconds) to display [R-TIME] and [SP] or [LP]. Then
adjust the Up/Down control to display [VCVA] and [ON] or [OFF] (see page 29). Pressing the
MENU switch within 4 seconds allows you to switch between [ON] and [OFF]. The VCVA function

The recording activation level can be adjusted during VCVA recording with the Up/Down control on
the MENU switch. Perform a test recording and adjust the level between 1 and 30 to match the
recording environment.
tThe VCVA activation level differs depending on the sensitivity of the microphone. See page 30 for
