How does the voice activated recording work? I can't find the instruction booklet and would like to know if its voice activated, Why it doesn't record when someone starts speaking?

Turn on the Voice activation switch and the volume control adjusts the sensitivity.

FIXED, on the left side switch it to VCVA the push record, it will only record when it detects noise

On my model the Olympus Pearlcorder S909 there is a slide button on the end marked VCVA (variable control voice actuator). Switch it to that position then press record and away you go, voice activated recording!

Hope this helps.

If this is the Norelco version of the Philips 0185 then it first appeared in 1974. Very little hope of getting an instruction manual.

The Playback Mode is for viewing and managing movies and pictures as well as listening to voice and
music on the built-in memory or on an optional memory card.

You need to have a telephone record adapter plugged into the back of the 3750. Then you press and hold the Tel Rec button until it begins recording.

Also check to see if the 'Vox' or 'VA' switch is on (voice activation). This will cause the machine to pause if the volume is too low.
