P3 International P5090 Operating Manual - page 3
This tape was likely recorded using the Voice Controlled System (VCS).
VCS automatically starts and stops the recording when it detects
conversations. When the recorder starts it takes a fraction of a second for
the motor to respond. This slight delay can lead to the beginning of
the first word being cut off. If possible use the Line Activation or Timer
Recording Modes. The sensitivity of the VCS is factory preset to a level
useful by most. However, it can be adjusted if necessary. (see the section
on adjusting VCS sensitivity).
Can I play tapes made on my recorder on other tape players?
You can play tapes that were recorded at normal speed on other tape
players. You will note a series of tones between recorded conversations.
These tones are the recorded telephone number and time/date data.
They will be ignored by other tape players and will not harm them. Tapes
recorded at extended recording speed will not be playable on other
players as the tape speed is not standard. If necessary, a recording made
with extended recording speed can be copied to another tape recorder
by connecting a “dubbing cable” (available at Radio Shack® and other
electronics stores) from the EAR output of the recorder to the microphone
or auxiliary input of a standard recorder.
What is the LINE VOLT set of switches for?
These switches are factory preset to match the line voltage for standard
telephone lines (-48 VDC) and should normally not be changed. The default
setting is switch #1=ON, Switch #2 and #3 OFF. They can be adjusted to
match alternative telephone line voltages for use with KSU or PBX systems.
