Notes on VOR (Voice Operated
C-B
Recording) (TCM-200DV only)
• The VOR system is affected by the
environmental recording conditions.
When you use the system in a noisy
place, the unit will stay in Recording
mode. If the sound is too soft, on the
contrary, the unit will not start
recording. Set it to H (high) or L
(low) so that the system will pick up
the necessary sound only.
If you cannot get the results you
want, set it to OFF.
• The VOR system may not record the
beginning of the sound you want to
record because it starts recording
only after it catches the sound. For
an important recording, set it to
OFF.
To prevent a tape from
being accidentally recorded
