Where is the 737-800 CVR located? Forward avionics rack or rear fuselage?
Generally these things are in the aft cabin area forward of the vertical fin attachment point. The CVR includes an ultrasonic underwater pinger and is bright orange just like the DFR. The CVR on this aircraft would also be digital - using memory chips rather than tapes or drums - making it very rugged and reliable.
