Unfortunately not. The circuitry that handles the buttons is unable to
handle multiple keys at once, with a few exceptions like the ON button
on the iriver H100/H300.

I can see how that may be a problem when the voice is turned off.
However, you can rely on the fact that the menus don't wrap when you
hold the up/down buttons. Therefore you can make sure that you are on
the first menu choice by holding the UP button for a few seconds (or
rotating the scroll wheel counter-clockwise).

After that, you can continue with a memorized sequence to enable the
voice again. That would be
down-down-down-select-down-select-up-select-select-down-select.

I think the record button should be used for recording, but not in
combination with another button.
