Sorry your unit is a micro and mini cassette transcriber but I remember it does not have option for erase you can get an a eraser at http://www.tvps.com/Products/ECS-ME20-Mini--Micro-Cassette-Eraser---New__VE-ME-20.aspx and this also extend the life of your transcriber any way is really simple and a quick solution to your problem.

No this is a Micro cassette trancribe unit it uses a foot control that it looks like a Mac connector but is not a Mac compatible if you are looking for the pedal here is a link to copatible pedal the original pedal model is RS-19 or better pedal is in this link http://www.tvps.com/Products/ECS-Olympus-IN-19-Heavy-Duty-Foot-Pedal---New__VE-IN-19.aspx

put in 2 AAA batts and insert a tape, then push record to record, and expirament!

VCVA
set it to VCVA on the left side and push record, will only record when detects noise
