• The start/stop actuation level also varies depending on the selected microphone sensitivity mode ( P. 25).
• If the starting level is not adjusted within 2 seconds, the display will return to the previous.
• If the surrounding noise is loud, the starting sensitivity of the VCVA can be adjusted according to the
recording situation.
• To ensure successful recordings, prior testing and adjustment of the start/stop actuation level is
recommended.
