You have a choice of using the automatic announcement or you can make your own by pressing Menu Select. Press it again and select Answering System. Then press ID or DIR to select "Record New" The system will tell you to announce your message, then press 5 when you are done. Then your own announcement will play. To listen to your own announcement again, scroll to "Play Current" and press Menu/Select. You can always change your message or go back to the recorded announcement. Just do things in reverse. The recorded announcement is a permanent part of the system, so you don't have to worry about it being deleted. Hope this helps. Regards, Paul

You know what . . . .? I haven't used my digital voice recorder since I got my Macbook which records my voice and then I can lay a track of music over the voice recording. I use it for my hypnosis client's sessions. So I can't help with your question, sorry.

Sorry. I don't use the machine answering system. I have a voice mail account and I use that. If you buy the phone, I am sure that the instruction manual will explain all you need to know. It's a cool set-up. I recommend it.

I'm not sure about that, it is voice activated but I don't think it records.

Yes, you can, but the answering machine doesn't play messages out loud as they are being recorded.

YES it CAN BE voice operated - it's sort of a hidden feature - If you go into the MENU function, you'll see an option called VOR which is Voice Operated Recording. I just found this in the online manual - instructions are found at http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-home.pl?mdl=ICDPX333&template_id=1&region_id=1&tab=manuals#/manualsTab

I haven't tried that yet. I would like to know myself. And also what the yellow icon is below the headphone and microphone jacks. If it does record properly (in stereo) email me at halsmithnauvoo@gmail.com. As a fellow-owner, we have to help each other out.

Its not that difficult to set it up. You record your own voice. When you play messages back the sound is not that clear. You can definitely hear the persons voice but my elderly mother (87) (who has difficulty hearing) has a hard time understanding the messages.

You may have the Answering machine turned off. On the base Look for a button that says Answer On/Off. If you push it and it says "Answer on", The answering machine will record messages. If you already had it on, then the answering machine may be broke.

The standard one does not, you would need to use additional software like Audacity or Garage Band to record your voice. The HD Pro version of this does have the ability to record your voice with Live Stream. As for game chat, I think it depends on which console you're using.

It will record your friends voices. If you changed your settings. But to record your voice you need another microphone to plug into the unit it's self.

Hi there Chris - Yes there are two recording modes - voice-activated and continuous recording. With the continuous recording mode it will record sound and video. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

I dont think u can make voice recordings on this device. However maybe you should check the device manual for this item to be sure. I think you can get it online.

It will only record your voice. I tried using it to record meetings and was unsuccessful. It's product information is clear about that, but I decided to try anyway.

Yes you can record a new message over an old one by pressing the record button.

Yes I think you can record your voice if you have a mic. But yes there is a rec button.

There is a variable speed control on the recorder. I haven't used it...but it's there. Can imagine it would be helpful if one was dictating into the machine.
