I bought two of them, to find out both of them did not work!! I agree with you that our recorders did not work. I tried to return those two. I is made of China. What shall we do?

It is a piece of garbage. It is NOT fixable, and you can forget about getting your money back. I almost stopped shopping at Amazon because of this product.

1st souloution when you hit record once, it goes into a pre record mode, the rec light should blink, this is so you can check the levels etc, once you hit record a second time it will start recording 2nd soloution: there is an auto record setting, at first you might think than means like a camera on auto to just set levels etc automatically but its not. The auto record means that it will record when it "hears" something, and the sensitivity is adjustable. so once you hit record it may be stopping because the sounds is to low against the sensiotivity asettings. Disable the auto recording and you should be fine. This recorder is one of the nest on the market for a lot of reasons, i have 3 tascams models and 2 zooms, it take an hour or 2 to read the manuel but when your on location it pays to know your stuff

Go to search/menu. It's on the top right of the recorder. It should go right to date and time. Use the fast forward/rewind buttons on the face of the recorder to set. Hope this helps!

I'd say about 2-3 seconds. It's very quick, but not instantaneous. I've never used another recorder that goes faster though.

Another good question. Also, can you set it to record for X hours? Still reading...

You need to switch on the speaker icon when you record the file. Then the sound is out when play the recored file.

When recording anything more than a 5-10 minutes, I need to let it "warm up" by first recording some throw-away content for about one to two times the length of time of what I ultimately need to record. But after it is warmed up, it is fine indefinitely (or until I run out of disk space).

Mine has options in the menu for loop recording ("off", "3 min", "5 min", and "10 min"). I have it set to "off". When full it displays an icon that indicates that it's recording over the old footage, but when I go to play back the latest recording it isn't available. I pulled the card to check it on my laptop and

Did it power off after five minutes or did it stop recording after 5 minutes? Is your SD card full? I would think the only reason it would stop recording after five minutes would be if your SD card is full. If it is not, I would probably return it.

I don't know. I am having a problem with it recording. I was thinking it may not be looping. If you find the answer to your question, please let me know. Thank you, Ron

I've had similar issues with system. A short term fix is to reformat the hard drive (be aware this erases previous recordings.) I have read that setting up a separate router solely for the cameras and DNR would be a long term fix. That is a more complex task. I currently just delete or move files from recording hard drive when system slows down. Possibly more memory would help too. Hope this helps!

It wouldn't record for me either. Unfortunately, I ended up just returning it. Sorry, I can't be of any help.

It records what is in range when set on record. BUT, it only records for about 8 SECONDS. Not long enough for anything musical.

The file format of the recorded material is probably incorrect. Double check what the file extension is on your digital file and see if you can convert it to a compatible file type.

Total record time depends on the type of disk an setting on the recorder for speed. I can't seem to find my manual but I think the speed times on the recorder are 2 hrs, 4 hrs, and 8 hrs with the proper disk

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.
