Customer Reviews
Sony Digital Recorder
By Fred Mealio (Perrin, Texas United States)
For a small recorder, this does a good job, I think that this is a good deal. The price was good and the quality of the unit is better than I was expecting.
I use the recorder to record an open meeting and the pickup is great, I can record someone from across the room as well as someone close by. The software is easy to use and this permits burning to a CD a snap

Great for lessons
We are very pleased with our Sony Digital Voice Recorders. The one we purchased from you is our third, and we received the best price from Amazon. We use them to take to record music lessons. It is very helpful to hear the lesson again "from the outside" so to speak. My son uses his with his French horn and flute lessons, and I with my voice lessons. The sound quality is very good when not using the internal speaker. It is easy to plug into the computer or into my i-Pod speaker system. I have edited and downloaded some lessons onto my i-Pod itself. My husband uses his for dictation and uses it with "Dragon-speak" to transcribe into his Word program.

great product
it's so light and easy to use. i use it to record short interviews. i give the person a set of questions and they record it themselves. no one has had any problems with it and the playback sounds great.

Good Microphone
The microphone works great. I left it on during a meeting in my shirt pocket, was wearing a jacket, and it still picked up the conversation well. The speaker may not be great, but it works just fine for voice recordings.
I gave it four out of five because of the speaker and the styling could be better

Really great recorder
By J.W.
This recorder is really small and easy to use. I love that there aren't any tapes to buy, which is more garbage for the environment. I also highly suggest using RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES, it's good for the environment, and this thing can eat up batteries if you use it often enough.
I haven't tried putting the recordings into my computer since I still have about 20 hours of recording time left (in High Quality mode). This is good for recording lectures. I really like this product so far. I'm not sure if there's a mode where you can hear all your recordings continously because I haven't really read the manual.
