The recording mode can be chosen from Stereo XQ (stereo extra high
quality sound recording), Stereo HQ (stereo high quality sound recording),
Stereo SP (stereo standard recording), HQ (high quality sound recording),
SP (standard recording), and LP (long-term recording).
Microphone sensitivity is adjustable to meet your recording needs.
• To ensure successful recording, make a test recording to choose appropriate microphone
sensitivity before recording.
• If you choose "Conferences", we recommend setting the recording mode to Stereo XQ,
Stereo HQ, Stereo SP or HQ to best take advantage of the higher sensitivity.
• If you choose "Conferences", background noise may be high depending on the recording
conditions.
• The recording time shown above is for one continuous flie. The available recording time
may be shorter than specified if several files are recorded. (Use the remaining time and
recorded time only as references.)

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.
