Needed a recorder just to record notes after classes. Needed some thing small and affordable. Found it with this recorder. Was easy to use and I wanted a recorder that didn't need to be recharged by plugging it in. Wanted one that used a battery. Very happy with my purchase.

This is a reasonably priced recording device. Lightweight and easy to carry for taping conversations. Great for meetings. Would have been nice if packaging explained how to download this data. Recording devices are certainly very different than they used to be. No more tapes.

This was a gift for my Father who is 91-it's simplicity in use was key in my purchase ! The one touch decent size buttons make it relatively easy for him to figure out exactly what he needed to input or record info to remind him where he put things. Sony still makes a quality product.

This is perfect for my nursing classes. Records every lecture perfectly and is a perfect tool. It also was not as expensive as the other recorders and works just as well! I wouldn't trade this recorder for any other! Great for class or for anything you need to record.

  Answer this question
QuestionDoes the Unit have an an automatic shut-off?I recently bought one of these and so far, I like it. I have been using the VOR, though, and it seems like if there is no sound for a while, the unit shuts off. I found some information that if it is just left turned on and not used for 10 minutes or so, it will shut off, but haven't specifically been able to find out if it does this with VOR too. I will sometimes have the VOR activated, but there might not be any sound for half an hour or more...and then it seems to have shut off.
Asked 12 years ago by JulieJ.
- Answer When the IC recorder is in the stop mode and you leave the IC recorder without attempting an operation for approximately 10 minutes, the auto power off function will take effect. However when the recorder is in VOR mode it should not turn off even though there's no sound being heard.
