The judge almost certainly has the discretion to conduct proceedings without the recording system in operation, though I can't think of a good reason to do so if the equipment and personnel are readily available. The party wishing a record of those proceedings must object to conducting the proceedings that way, can hire a court reporter to record those proceeding, and has other rights.
