Various ways of recording
VOR (Voice Operated
Recording)
VOR causes the recorder to automatically
record when there is sound, and to pause
when there is no sound. This allows you
to record without troublesome button
operations.
1 Slide MIC SENS to H (high) or L
(low).
2 Slide REC MODE to STEREO.
When you set the REC MODE switch
to MONO, the recording will be in
monaural, but the recording time will
be two times longer than in stereo.
3 Insert a recordable MD and press
zREC.
4 Press VOR.
VOR turns on.
“VOR” appears in the display and the
VOR indicator lights up when the
recorder is recording. Both “VOR”
and the VOR indicator flash when the
recorder is not recording.
To cancel VOR while recording, press
VOR again.
“VOR” and the VOR indicator goes off and the
recorder changes to normal recording mode.
z
VOR automatically turns off when you press
the xSTOP button to stop recording.
Notes
• You cannot record with the built-in
microphones while an optional microphone is
connected to the MIC (PLUG IN POWER)
jack or an optical cable (not supplied) is
connected to the LINE IN (OPTICAL) jack.
• VOR is sensitive to the surrounding sound
conditions. Set the MIC SENS switch to H or
L to suit the conditions. If you cannot get the
desired recording results, cancel VOR and
record in manual mode.
• Power from the batteries is consumed as long
as VOR is on, even when recording is not
taking place (i.e., when “VOR” and the VOR
indicator flash.)
