reverse: does this recorder have that feature?
1964377
Hi C. There is a reverse(rewind) button(also fast forward,stop, and pause) to turn back tape to certain spot. But if you are talking about auto-reverse - where the tape automatically goes to the next side when first side is finished - no it does not have that. There is no counter either so when you do reverse, you just have to stop and go till you find what you want - it's a nice little recorder/player for the price,mine has a slight humming in the background when I recorded voices, but didnt bother me much - I have this and have written a review(on jan 10th/10) with feature details - it may be of some help Laurie

Yes, you can - it has a manual VOR switch with setting H, L and Off.Have loved this recorder, though I use it mostly for playing tapes. It's very sturdy, still working after several drops, as I carry it around in a pocket while I'm working around.

There is a record function button on the unit so I'm sure you can. However, I've had no occasion to try it.

sorry, can't help you, it was a gift for someone, I didn't open the box. I think there was something on the box about overriding recording though

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.

The answer is yes H. P. The actual process is a bit tricky since it starts recording when it wants to and there is no way to manually start the recording yourself. However I have found a method to record mp3s on it despite that dysfunctional flaw. You will too. Btw The idiots who can't figure out how to flip the voltage switch are laughable. I bought mine off eBay for $39.99 because the seller thought it was a faulty product. One flip of the switch later and I got a fully functional system for chump change. ^_^

The previous answers are correct. Recording over or simply being silent in the record mode will edit out what you no longer want on the tape. Hope this helps.

Yes. There is a small switch on the side. When you set it to the "record" position, you press the large button to begin the recording and again to stop it. When you set it to the "play" position, it plays your recorded audio.

It has been my experience that this unit will keep on recording over the the oldest recording, ie: on a loop. You can also delete the old stuff using the onboard menu.

Yes, you can rewind and play back just like most other audio recorders. It has the same type of functions, i.e. record, pause, play, rewind & fast forward. It also gives you a very clear audio playback for it's size.

I never found out. I did not like this digital recorder and could never get it to download to my computer. I gave it to the Goodwill with instructions for someone else to figure out.

No, only one record at a time. It does not have the options of my old record player, or sound quality.

I do apologize, but I can't answer this question.I am still very happy with the recorder, but I never needed such feature.Maybe Olympus helpdesk will help you.

Not at all. This is all digital. Just turn it on, and start recording. Best little digital recorder I have ever had.

You are so right. I did not realize this until i went to play back what i had just recorded and discovered it was not there. That's when i realized i had reached the end of the tape without knowing. If you get an answer to your question please let me know. I assumed it was a flaw in the design i had to live with. More power to you at least you asked the question. Good luck ~Kindly~Renate

Has a switch on the back you have to push to turn on and off. Yes it records audio.

No. The recorder has an on-off switch on one side. Once you turn it on, it will continue to record until it runs out of space, charge or you turn it off. It records in 4 hour chunks, so if you leave it running for 8 hours, for instance, you will get two 4 hour files.
