t >PAUSE is slid in the direction of the arrow.
t The AC power adaptor is not firmly connected.
t The unit will not run on dry batteries if the AC power
adaptor is left plugged into the DC IN 3V jack even
though you disconnect the AC power adaptor from the
power source.
• The VOR system is affected by the environmental recording conditions.
When you use the system in a noisy place, the unit will stay in the
recording mode. If the sound is too soft, on the contrary, the unit will
not start recording. If you cannot get the results you want, set it to OFF.
• The VOR system may not record the beginning of the sound you want
to record because it starts recording only after it catches the sound. For
an important recording, set it to OFF.
Wh e n t o re p la ce t h e b a t t e rie s

the batteries as soon as you can. Otherwise, the built-in speaker may
emit a loud noise and recordings may not be made correctly.

– if the REC/ BATT (M-575V/ 570V) or BATT (M-475/ 470) lamp flashes
with the playback sound when you turn up the volume.
– if the REC/ BATT (M-575V/ 570V) or BATT (M-475/ 470) lamp lights
momentarily when the tape starts running or at the end of the tape.
– if the REC/ BATT (M-575V/ 570V) or BATT (M-475/ 470) lamp flashes
during FF/ REW or CUE/ REVIEW.
