Low Cut Filter
The recorder has a Low Cut Filter function to
minimize low-frequency sounds and record
voices more clearly. This function can reduce
noise from air conditioners, projectors and
other similar noises.

Enables the Low Cut Filter function.
[Off]:
Disables this function.
VCVA
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. The
VCVA feature extends recording time and
conserves memory by stopping recording
during silent periods, which helps the
playback to be more efficient.
[On]:
Enables the VCVA function. Will start
recording in VCVA mode.
[Off]:
Disables this function. Will resume
recording in normal mode.
