• 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.

Break out and remove the cassette tabs. To reuse the tape
for recording, cover the tab hole with adhesive tape.
• Do not charge a dry battery.
• VOR (Voice Operated Recording) system that starts and
stops recording automatically in response to the sound,
to save tapes and batteries (TCM-465V/ 459V only).
• SPEED CONTROL function that lets you increase or
decrease the tape playback speed.
• High sensitive flat mic picks up a wide range of sound
clearly (TCM-459V/ 36 only).
• Pop-up microphone system allows you to use the
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
sound coming from the front side clearly.
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.
• When you do not use the unit for a long time, remove the
batteries to avoid any damage caused by battery leakage and
subsequent corrosion.
