Basic Operation of the Menu Mode

Using the menu function, you can change various settings according to your preference.

Using The Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA)

When the microphone senses that sounds has reached a preset volume,

the built-in Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) starts recording

automatically, and stops it when the volume drops.

Particularly helpful for extended recording, the VCVA not only conserves

memory by turning off recording during silent periods, but also makes

playback more efficient and convenient.

In Menu mode selection... On, OFF

s During recording, use the + and – buttons to adjust the VCVA level in 15 levels.

s The Record/play indicator light is lit during recording. When the recorder is in

Standby mode, the Record/play indicator light flashes and “VCVA” flashes on

the display.

Index Marks

Index marks can be placed in a file during recording or playback to

provide and quick and easy way of keeping track of important sections

in the file.

1 Press the INDEX button during recording (pause recording)

or playback to set an index mark.

An index number appears on the display.

Clearing an Index Mark

Press the ERASE button while the index number appears on the display.

s Up to 10 index marks can be set in a file.

s Sequential index marks numbers are reassigned automatically.

Microphone Sensitivity (HI LOW)

Microphone sensitivity is adjustable to meet your recording needs.

In Menu mode selection... HI, LOW

HI: High-sensitivity mode that records sounds in all directions.

LOW: Low-sensitivity mode suited for dictation.

s To ensure successful recording, make a test recording to choose appropriate

microphone sensitivity before recording.

s If you choose “HI”, we recommend setting the recording mode to XHQ or HQ to

best take advantage of the higher sensitivity.

If you choose “HI”, background noise may be high depending on the recording conditions.

Timer Recording (TIMER)

(Excluded VN-1100/VN-1100PC)

and end time of recording. When the timer-controlled recording

completes, the setting is released.

time even if the system sounds are disabled (Excluded VN-1100/VN-1100PC).
