    Great for recording during meetings. Instructions on how to use it are not very user friendly. I had Ty go on YouTube to learn how to operate it.

    Playback sound from regular recording very soft even at the highest volume level. If you want good volume, you need to record from another device through the mic port.

    I have had difficulty figuring it out. I wish it came with a manual but found it online. I still have to play with the buttons to achieve the results I wish. For someone more tech savvy it would probably be great.. I usually get help from my kids. lol

    Disappointed that no one in store knew about the product - like what was the difference between the several recorders and how to basically use it!

    I used the recorder about 5 times for my freelance writing interviews. Three times while I was interviewing my subject on File# A-1, after 10-12 minutes had elapsed, the recorder turned off (yes, I had fresh batteries in it). I turned the recorder back on, and it continued to record in a NEW file (File# A-2) without turning off, but the first 10-12 minutes of the interviews in File #A-1 were lost; they weren’t saved to the recorder. Zero bytes. It’s still under Philips warranty, and I will be returning it. I have purchased an Olympus recorder for about the same price, and it is far more intuitive in terms of initial set up and operation.

    The Phillips Voice Tracer is very lightweight plastic and will likely break easily if dropped. For this price I expected better quality plastic. I installed the included batteries and set up the date and time. I began recording with the Phillips Voice Tracer and attempted to end the recording an hour later but the voice recorder was off. I attempted to turn it back on and it was as if the batteries were dead. I placed new batteries in the voice recorder and it still wouldn’t come on. This recorder is defective. I’m returning it.
