Yes, it shows a picture of a microphone with an "X" through it when it is disabled. It's a nice camera and I'm very happy with mine. Good Luck

Yes you can, all cameras will do that. It is press and forget type of system - you press to record and until you press to stop record or the battery dies the camera will keep recording. You can throw it in the air or lower it into a pit - it will not stop recording.

Yes, you can record from TV as long as the show you are trying to record is not protected.

The recording is only disabled while playing audio or video from the internal memory. It cant do both at the same time because of how Micro SD cards are configured. There is also an auto record feature that will automatically stop recording and play your video/auido files. Once all activity has ceased for about 45 seconds it will kick back on and it will start recording again. Interesting feature. - Nick at onlineenterprises888 If you have any more questions you can email me directly here in Amazon.

Not to my knowledge. I've not tried to do this but the playback and record menus are not operable at the same time.

Hey Jeff, it will record both audio and video, you just need to be sure you go in the settings and turn on the audio recording setting. Mine was set to audio recording "off" when I received the unit.

Yes, it can be set to stay on or off during recording. You will see a pulsating red light to indicate it is recording.

Yes, you can. This unit only records when there is a DVD in the drive bay-I originally thought there was a hard drive to buffer the recording; there is not. Great unit, have using ours for a couple of years.

Audio could be off all time, I don't think screen could be off all time when recording.

it can do both, it will overwrite existing videos if you want it to or just stop recording till its cleared.

Yes, the device records both video and audio in default mode, but audio recording can be disabled if desired.

Hi Jame's Dad, Thank you for your inquiries! Recording Sound, or Not On the Dash Cam menu, you do have the option to have the microphone on or off. Just press the "Menu" button. Use the arrow buttons to move the selection up or down until to find "Audio Record". Press the "OK" button on the top of the camera to select "Audio Record". Use the arrows again to select on or off. and press the "OK" button. when done, press "Menu" to get back to the main screen. There is a Microphone image that will appear when sound recording is on. It will disappear when sound recording is off. Sound & Volume The best sound from the videos you record will be heard in playback mode on your computer where external settings can be altered. When playing the video back on the cam itself, there is a limited amount of volume the unit will be able to play back, but it should be relatively comparable to the unit you have received. Loop Recording with this model Dash Cam A 32GB SD card will record up to 6 hours of continuous footage (depending upon use). It saves the files in 2 minutes intervals, continually dropping the oldest footage. The camera also has a g-sensor and a panic button -- when pressed/activated the camera will lock the current video for one minute before and after -- these videos can only be deleted by formatting the SD card. Upon playback on your computer you can save the videos in 2 minute increments or as one full video (up to 2GB each). "Auto-Off" If turned on and plugged in while the car is off, the cam could pull from the car's battery. This depends on your car. Some cars will shut off power to these outlets while others will not. The camera normally will shut off automatically when the car is turned off. I hope that information is helpful. Thanks again for contacting us!

You can stop recording, yes. The thing is, there is no such thing as "pause" anymore when it comes to digital camcorders. I worry that you may be thinking of the old-days, like 8mm or video tape or VHS or even digital tapes like Mini-DV when things were actually recorded on a piece of tape so if you hit "pause" then re-recorded after any amount of time, the TAPE would start recording exactly where you left off. Now that everything is digital and video data is recorded onto SD cards, memory cards, computers, etc., when you "pause" the camcorder will create a new TRACK. Like a CD. It's like the difference between a cassette tape and a CD. The data exists in a different realm. You can stop recording, yes.
