How do I set the correct channel for a timed recording? There is no choice as to which channel on the screen. I'm technologically challenged too.

You should set the channel by choosing it on your cable box. The Funai does not have a tuner of it's own and must rely on the cable box tuner to be set to the channel needed. The Funai should be on Channel 3 or 4, whichever your area requires.

Hi, No, I just tried it and it won't do it. At least not when I just hit record and then tried to change channels, it wouldn't allow me to. I would assume it would be the same on timer recordings too. Thinking about it, it would have to have a dual tuner for you to be able to do that. One tuned to what's recording, and another tuned to a different channel, and I'm sure it's not a dual tuner setup. You can however watch another program that you already have recorded to the hard drive at the same time as you are recording. Hope this helps...

The problem is that I'd like to use it when recording video, not just for voice notes. It's been very frustrating - sometimes it records in stereo, but most of the time in mono. I haven't been able to figure out what makes the difference.

I turned off the motion activated setting (I think it's delivered with that setting on) and then set it to record at the maxium 15 min segment. It'll still talk every once and a while, but not nearly as often. After I set it up this way it basically just records continuously ( but it does say 'recording' if a new 15 min segment starts. As far as I can tell there isn't a way to simply turn off that annoying pointless voice that you can't even understand anyway. Hope that helps.

I have emailed with Roland on how to use the 2 channels that are digital only. They say people interface it with a digital recorder and or adigital based mixer. Roland should have just put in 4 analog input rather than this lesser strategy of only 2 audio ins/out.

I keep mine plugged in and it still records. Try starting the recording and then plugging it in.

I can't find any way to do that. It seems to be set up to only record audio while recording video.

Time and Date are set using the LCD screen and button controls of this camera. Fist, make sure that Date and Time display is enabled by pressing the round red button on the top of the unit to turn recording off (do this only is currently recording). Then press the Menu button. Then press the Down button three times until "Time Stamp" is selected. Press the round red button on the top of the unit to access a submenu, then press the Down button until "Date&Time" is selected. Then press the round Red button on the top of the unit. Then press the Menu button, and then press the Down button maybe seven times until "Date Input" is highlighted. Then press the round Red button on the top of the unit to access a submenu. Press the Down button to highlight "Set", then press the round Red button at the top of the unit. You will see that "YYYY / MM / DD" is highlighted. Press the round red button once to highlight the year on the next second line. Press the UP or DOWN buttons until the correct year is set. Then press the round Red button to select the month. Use UP or DOWN buttons again until the desired month is shown, and then the round Red button. Same for day of the month. The hour will be selected. Remember to use 24-hour time for the hour! Use UP and DOWN buttons to select 1-24 for the hour, then press the round Red button to select the minute. Continue with the UP, DOWN, and round Red button for minute and second until you are back at the menu screen. Press the Menu button again, and you can verify that the correct time is shown on the bottom right corner of the LCD display! If this is helpful, then please write a short two-word "Thank You" in reply. It took me a couple of hours of researching on the internet before I could put the pieces together to understand this procedure! Your reply will let me know if anyone reads these things!

It has to be a compatible capture device. The key question is what is considered compatible? That I do not know as they refuse to release a compatibility list :( I have ran against the same issue with 1/2 my devices.

I have set the timer programming on the recorder, turned the recorder off, then switched back to the television and watched a different channel. So, I know it works using that method.

From the other answers, my understanding is that this does NOT allow the use of a program guide (like many others) to record things in the next couple weeks or as a series. I rarely want to set a recording within 6 hours of the actual time. It sounds like most of my recordings would need to be set by time slot and channel like an old VCR. Is this right?

You have to pinch the cue boton Of the Channel you want to hear, also the cue knob in the upper left has to be all turned to the left in the cue possition, then for example if you Want to mix channels 1 and 3 you presa the 1 and 3 cue botons AT THE SAME TIME, hope it works for you (sorry the english im from Mxico)
