• The VOR system depends on the environment conditions. If  
you cannot get the desired results, set VOR to OFF.  
• When using the VOR system, the unit starts recording only  
when a sound is detected, therefore, the beginning of the word  
may not be recorded. For an important recording, we recom-  
mend setting VOR to OFF.  
When the sound to be recorded is not loud enough, set the  
VOR switch to OFF, or the unit may not start recording.

Notes  
• During FF(CUE) or REW(REVIEW), the i lamp may flash.  
Only when the tape does not run properly, replace the  
batteries.  
• In some cases when the unit is used with rechargeable  
batteries, only one BATT/ REC lamp will light even though the  
batteries have been fully charged.  
• After the batteries have been used for a while, the BATT/ REC  
lamp(s) may flash with the playback sound when you turn up  
the volume; however, this does not mean that you need to  
replace the batteries.  
• The unit will play back normally for a while even after the i  
lamp flashes. However, replace the batteries as soon as you  
can. If you do not, a loud noise may be emitted by the built-in  
speaker or subsequent recording will not be done correctly.  
• When the tape starts running or at the end of the tape the i  
lamp may momentarily light. If the lamp goes off, you do not  
need to replace the batteries.  
It is convenient to mark at an important part of speech,  
for example, during an interview to quickly find that  
portion by pressing FF/ CUE or REW/ REVIEW while  
playing back the tape.

microphone properly by adjusting it to the situation  
(TCM-465V only).  
When the microphone is in the standing position, it  
works as an unidirectional microphone and picks up

When the microphone is at the flat position, it picks up  
a wide range of sound clearly.  
• Do not use a new battery with an old one.  
• Do not use different types of batteries.
