Rec Menu

Mic Sense
You can switch between three microphone
sensitivities to meet recording needs: [Dictation]
for oral dictation, [Conference] for meetings and
conferences with a small number of people, and
[Close-Talk] for recordings in noisy surroundings.
[Conference]:
High-sensitivity mode that records sounds in all
directions.
[Dictation]:
Low-sensitivity mode suited for dictation.
[Close-Talk]:
Lowest-sensitivity mode that records only sounds
within close distance.

Rec Mode
The recording mode can be set to [QP] (Quality
Playback) or [SP] (Standard Playback).
• You cannot select the [QP] mode when setting the
recorder to the DSS Classic mode.
For details, see "Recording" in the "Customizing
the recorder" (☞ P.47).
VCVA
The VCVA feature extends recording time and
conserves memory by stopping recording during
silent periods, which helps the playback to be more
efficient. 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.
1 Select [On].
Move the slide switch to the REC (s)
2
position to start recording.
