Note on recording
Noise may be recorded if an object,
such as your finger, etc., accidentally
rubs or scratches the unit during
recording.

Maximum recording time

The maximum recording time of all
the folders is as follows. You can
record messages for the maximum
recording time in a single folder.

HQ*

7 h. 30 min.

SP**

20 h. 5 min.

LP***

37 h. 5 min.

(h.: hours/min.: minutes)
* HQ: High quality recording mode

(monaural sound)

** SP: Standard play recording mode

(monaural sound)

***LP: Long play recording mode

(monaural sound)

Notes
• To record in better sound quality,

select the HQ mode. For switching
the recording mode, see “Changing
the Recording Mode” on the reverse
side.

• Before making a long recording, be

sure to check the battery indicator.

• The maximum recording time and

the number of messages you can
make vary depending on the
conditions of use.

• When you record messages in the

mixture of HQ, SP and LP mode, the
maximum recording time will be
between those for the HQ and LP
modes.

• Due to the limitation of the IC

recording system, this unit records
in the minimum recording unit of
approx. 2 seconds at most, therefore
the following symptoms may occur:
– When a message is shorter than

the minimum recording unit, it is
still counted as approx. 2 seconds
at most so the remaining
recording time will decrease by
more than the actual length of the
message.

– When the message is longer than

the minimum recording unit, the
remaining recording time will
decrease by more than the actual
length of the message if it cannot
be divided by the minimum
recording unit without a
remainder.

– The sum of the number on the

counter (elapsed recording time)
and the remaining recording time
may be less than the unit’s
maximum recording time.

Remaining memory
indication

During recording, the remaining
memory indicator decreases one by
one.

The memory is
nearly full.

Flashing

When the remaining time of
recording reaches 5 minutes, the
last one of the indication flashes.
If the remaining recording time
display mode is selected,
“REMAIN” and the counter display
flash when the remaining time
reaches 1 minute.
To continue recording, first erase
some of the messages.

Notes
• If you press zXREC/PAUSE when

the memory is full, “FULL” will flash
with an alarm sound. Erase some of
the messages before you start
recording again.

• If you press zXREC/PAUSE after

you have recorded 99 messages,
“FULL” will flash with an alarm
sound. Select another folder or erase
some of the messages.

Starting recording
automatically in response
to the sound — Advanced
VOR function

When VOR (voice operated
recording) is set to ON in the menu,
recording starts when the recorder
detects sound. (“VOR” is displayed
in the display window.)

Recording stops when no sound is
heard. (“VOR PAUSE” flashes in
the display window.)

Note
VOR function is affected by the sound
around you. Set the microphone
sensitivity to “H (high)” or “L (low)”
using the menu. If recording is not
satisfactory after you have changed
the microphone sensitivity, or for
important recording, set VOR to OFF.

Getting started

Troubleshooting

Before taking the unit for repair, check the following
sections. Should any problem persist after you have
made these checks, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

The unit does not operate.

• The batteries have been inserted with incorrect

polarity.

• The batteries are weak.
• The buttons are locked with the HOLD switch. (If

you press any button, “HOLD” will flash for 3
seconds.)

No sound comes from the speaker.

• The ear receiver or headphones are plugged in.
• The volume is turned down completely.

“FULL” is displayed and you cannot start
recording.

• The memory is full. Erase some of the messages.
• 99 messages have been recorded in the selected

folder. Select another folder or erase some of the
messages.

Noise is heard.

• An object, such as your finger, etc., accidentally

rubbed or scratched the unit during recording so
that noise was recorded.

• The unit was placed near an AC power source, a

fluorescent lamp or a mobile phone during
recording or playback.

• Plug of the connected microphone was dirty when

recording. Clean the plug.

• Ear receiver/headphones plug is dirty. Clean the

plug.

Recording level is low.

• Set the microphone sensitivity to “H (high)” using

the menu.

Recording is interrupted.

• The advanced VOR function is activated. Set VOR

to “OFF”.

Recording level is unstable (when recording
music, etc.).

• This unit is designed to automatically adjust the

recording level when recording meetings, etc., and
is not suitable for music recording.

“—Y—M—D” or “—:—” is displayed.

• You have not set the clock.

“—Y—M—D” or “—:—” is displayed on the REC
DATE display.

• The date and time of recording will not be

displayed if you recorded the message when the
clock was not set.

You cannot divide a message.

• You cannot divide a message in a folder which has

99 messages.

• If you divide messages frequently, the unit may

become unable to divide a message.

• You cannot divide a message in the first or the last

1 second of a message.

It takes longer for the unit to start
operation.

• If you divide messages too frequently while the

unit is recording them, the following phenomenon
may occur: The OPR indicator keeps flashing, and
you cannot operate the unit for a certain period.
This is not a malfunction. Wait until the OPR
indicator goes off.

You cannot record messages up to the
maximum recording time.

• If you record messages in a mixture of HQ, SP and

LP modes, the recordable time varies from the
maximum HQ mode recording time to the
maximum LP mode recording time.

Note on recording

Noise may be recorded if an object,
such as your finger, etc., accidentally
rubs  or scratches the unit during
recording.

Maximum recording time
The maximum recording time of all
the folders is as follows.  You can
record messages for the maximum
recording time in a single folder.

HQ*

7 h. 30 min.

SP**

20 h. 5 min.

LP***

37 h. 5 min.

(h.: hours/min.: minutes)
* HQ: High quality recording mode

(monaural sound)

** SP: Standard play recording mode

(monaural sound)

***LP: Long play recording mode

(monaural sound)

Notes

• To record in better sound quality,

select the HQ mode.  For switching
the recording mode, see “Changing
the Recording Mode” on the reverse
side.

• Before making a long recording, be

sure to check the battery indicator.

• The maximum recording time and

the number of messages you can
make vary depending on the
conditions of use.

• When you record messages in the

mixture of HQ, SP and LP mode, the
maximum recording time will be
between those for the HQ and LP
modes.

• Due to the limitation of the IC

recording system, this unit records
in the minimum recording unit of
approx. 2 seconds at most, therefore
the following symptoms may occur:
– When a message is shorter than

the minimum recording unit, it is
still counted as approx. 2 seconds
at most so the remaining
recording time will decrease by
more than the actual length of the
message.

– When the message is longer than

the minimum recording unit, the
remaining recording time will
decrease by more than the actual
length of the message if it cannot
be divided by the minimum
recording unit without a
remainder.

– The sum of the number on the

counter (elapsed recording time)
and the remaining recording time
may be less than the unit’s
maximum recording time.

Remaining memory
indication
During recording, the remaining
memory indicator decreases one by
one.

The memory is
nearly full.

Flashing

When the remaining time of
recording reaches 5 minutes, the
last one of the indication flashes.
If the remaining recording time
display mode is selected,
“REMAIN” and the counter display
flash when the remaining time
reaches 1 minute.
To continue recording, first erase
some of the messages.

Notes

• If you press zXREC/PAUSE when

the memory is full, “FULL” will flash
with an alarm sound. Erase some of
the messages before you start
recording again.

• If you press zXREC/PAUSE after

you have recorded 99 messages,
“FULL” will flash with an alarm
sound. Select another folder or erase
some of the messages.

Starting recording
automatically in response
to the sound — Advanced
VOR function
When VOR (voice operated
recording) is set to ON in the menu,
recording starts when the recorder
detects sound. (“VOR” is displayed
in the display window.)

Recording stops when no sound is
heard. (“VOR PAUSE” flashes in
the display window.)

Note

VOR function is affected by the sound
around you.  Set the microphone
sensitivity to “H (high)” or  “L (low)”
using the menu. If recording is not
satisfactory after you have changed
the microphone sensitivity, or for
important recording, set VOR to OFF.
