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 ear receiver 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 ear receiver near the
microphone while monitoring recording, the microphone may pick up the
sound from the ear receiver, causing acoustic feedback (howling sound).
