What's the name of the best company to send or mail my sony voice recorder to get it repaired or fixed, if there's more then 1 I want the top 3. Is it away to get the hard drive out the voice recorder, if so I want to put my music files on sd cards because I need backups ?????

@@ericholmes5962 Honestly not sure never had to repair one. Sorry wish I could help.

What can I do? your response is appreciated. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

According to the manual, yes.

And ?

@@Bronzato I'm having the same issue - you can't fast forward. Instructions say you can add a T-mark to divide the recording and to go to that mark when playing back. But I couldn't figure out how to go back to it when playing it back. Instructions do not tell you how to do that.

@@dianereiter6036 sad but true...

Feels fine to me.

I have the Sony ICD PX 370. I got mine used, so I'm not sure if a new unit comes with a micro SD card. I've picked up some (also known as TF cards) from Walmart ("Onn" brand) and from Amazon or eBay ("SanDisk" brand) and have had great success with them. I've only ever used 16 GB cards, which work great. But I'm thinking of ordering some that are bigger (32, 64, 128, 256...) I reasonably expect they'll work fine, but I've never used one larger than 16 GB. I once tried going super cheap with some knock-off brand TF cards, thru Amazon, and had some failures (very slow read & write speeds, corrupted files, unreadable, lost dozens of audio files), so I do NOT recommend that. As for charging, I'm 99% sure it does NOT charge its batteries when plugged into a standard USB port. It takes two AAA batteries, and can record for probably 24 hours before they have to be replaced. Before long, I discovered the beauty of rechargeable batteries, and that has been a huge help. Amazon has packs of rechargeable AAA's for a good price. Hope this helps. Best of luck to you!

a 32 gb sd card is the size recommended (max size).

No you gotta purchase separate.

I find it to be very good quality.

@@TheBreakdownWithLuke But not through the speaker. Earbuds or earphones.

The Zoom H2n has that feature.

I don't use it for that. There are many other programs that are probably far better for that.

I have never had that issue I would check how you're holding it or return it for replacement.

@@TheBreakdownWithLuke Thanks for replying, I went into the settings and put a different recording setting on and it seems to be working now

Not on the model I had.

@@TheBreakdownWithLuke I bought this dictofon. There is no voice activation.

It's supposed to have helpguide.sony.net/icd/p37/v1/en/contents/TP0001272000.html however those directions don't jive, there is no settings button, there is a option button. From options you can find VOR, however there's no way I could find to switch from OFF. (actually from record screen just press back then select settings instead of pressing options)

When putting new batteries in I was presented with a settings page, from which I could set VOR on.

Did you find out.

Yes

It takes standard AAA batteries. You can use rechargeable batteries, but you don't charge them in the device.

Buy a micro SD card. 8GB should do. If your computer doesn't have an SD card slot you will need a card reader.

Just plug it in the built in usb

It will identify the files saved to the SD card. this is not a very good mp3 player as the built-in speaker is subpar and the user interface is not great.

I wondered the same. It's not at all clear.

no

I have mine set to MP3.

@@TheBreakdownWithLuke you upload mp3 files in it? really because the sales person told me this is only for recording?

@@Supportingcast03 it is only for recording... it records the sound into a mp3 file rather than a WAV file

Look at the product photo. There is a REC/PAUSE button to the right of the STOP button

There is internal storage.

thank you. I though so. Sony told me I needed to buy a card. I did buy a 16gb card. Thank you so much for the review and your answer!!!

this is not a voice activated recorder

Yes it does. I just got it last night.. And so im still figuring it out.. But yes it does do voice activated. Its a standby mode. And im still trying to figure out the sensitivity on it. ..

hot4wheels123 have you figured it out yet?

Check VOR Voice Recording Operation

Yes check VOR Voice Operated Recording

How to activate? I press option button, then select REC INFORMATION (pressing play button) then scroll down to VOR, when highlighted I press play button to toggle from OFF to ON, but it doesn't toggle, just goes back to main screen.

@@GmanMilli I figured it out... Press the back button then use the left or right button until you see setting, press recording settings and then scroll to VOR and turn it to the on mode. YOU'RE WELCOME 🌟🌟🌟🔥🔥🔥

@@Tracon9er Oh yea, I finally figured it out a few months ago. Though I don't use it much as you're liable to miss quieter talking.

@@GmanMilli cool 😎

Depends on how loud they are.

Hi, I am wondering on buying this recorder for recoding around 6 people in an empty room. They would be about 4-6 feet away from the recorder and speaking at normal volume between each other. So I don't know about the distance on capturing the audio. I need it to be just as good so I can transcribe what everybody said.@@TheBreakdownWithLuke

I would assume it is as good as the quality of the mic you use.

I can agree

Grahm Edmisten px-470 stereo is fantastic,clear sound
