Adam, I've had mine for nearly two years and still didn't know enough about it. I have watched many UA-cam videos by others but yours are the very best. They are thorough and informative. Keep it up.
Its a great review but I want people to know that it is almost impossible to sync audio to video. I have done a 20 min videoclip to test if it was my gopro, garmin virb or the ebay voice recorder that was the problem. I also recorded sound via my PC. I imported all 4 clips into sony vegas and both video and audio sync is fine from gopro, garmin and PC. The sound from voicerecorder is several seconds out of sync at the end. I tried to stretch that audiotrack to equal length and it was good at beginning and end but it was out of sync everywhere else. As a voice recorder it is very good for the money but not if you want to sync audio with video. Buy a good linear pcm digital recorder instead (like zoom h1) or use your smartphone.
when you use the 8gb recorder. You have to use a good mono lapel mic. YOU cannot use a stereo mic I repeat, that will cause it to distort and skip every 60 seconds.
For the person complaining about sync you need to go into options and turn sound off. Otherwise it stops recording when you aren't making noise this is why your tracks are out of sync. Do some research before blaming your hardware.
Hello, wanted to ask you about digital audio recorder that you bought from ebay. 1) Do they have mini jack so I could connect external mic to them? 2) If yes, then did you tried to record some audio with external mics to those recorders? What can you tell about quality?
I purchased the Model no. CP0260 and after the third time charging, the device stop working...all it would do when turned on, is just display the “Hour Glass.” So I recommend you look into buying another Brand!
mine looks like this recorder but the start up screen has like 20 things on it (this is the screen after you turn it on) why does yours have just 3 things with the record dominate HELP
hi adam, if you put the external mic on this recorder and put on headphone, can this recorder do the audio monitoring with the internal / external mic? because i think i want to find some cheap recorder with audio monitoring, thanks. sorry for my bad english
I bought this tape recorder and I'm enjoying it a lot. I have only one problem: I set the time and date but after the recorder off and on again the date is automatically reset to 2014/01/01. Can you give me a solution?
i have this recorder but canoot upload the audio files to my laptop or PC. PC/laptop will not recognize this recorder has been plugged in. How do I fix this issue?
i have this digital voice recorder and after a few months of owning it, the audio doesnt seem to record any sound ? as if the mic is broken ? anyone else have this issue im not sure if theres any way to fix it?
hi i bougt this recorder but doesnt work.before i open parcel and power off doesnt work conact seller seller said me charg pc 2 hours and my recorder doesnt work windows 7 64 bit what i do
When you first got yours how long did you have to charge it for? I just received mine and I am stuck on the hour glass after a couple of hour charge when I try and fire it up.
At 4:40 you mention firmware update. Any idea where to get the firmware update? My device is on v1.1.00 dated 27 Jan 2016. Was wondering if there is a more up to date version (which hopefully addresses the voice to video synch issues). Tried a search on Google - no joy. Any help appreciated. Many thanks.
Did you ever find out where to get an updated firmware? My current firmware info is: 2014/04/17 version 1.1.00 2014/03/06 AS331c_v1000 I found that when you make a long recording then play back, you can hear a quick cutoff very 4-5 minutes. Hopefully, a new firmware will fix this problem. Try recording a few songs back to back, then play back. You'll notice what I mean.
+tubeflair I have recently being testing this out and you can but it appears to gain a second every minute and so when you sync them up they are out of sync and get worse the longer the video is. You can fix it in editing but it can be tedious.

Hey Adam cool review bud, this sounds like some damn good quality for a cheap thing.

I just received this recorder, however it seems that the recording is not stereo although there are 2 microphones. Please comment on that. (?)

What's online mode?
Will it sync with a video camera?
+tubeflair I have recently being testing this out and you can but it appears to gain a second every minute and so when you sync them up they are out of sync and get worse the longer the video is. You can fix it in editing but it can be tedious.
How to delete a file?
Can you give me a link to this recorder
My laptop wont recognise this recorder? How can I fix this issue?
I am having the same issue any way if you manage to fix the issue and transfer the recording to laptop.
Is it possible to put the files on a pc?
+DrMally Yes it is but the audio appears to gain a second every minute so if you're syncing it up with video it will get out of sync fast.
is it possible to record phone calls?
yes, it comes with the phone jack & adaptor, however, I had bought mine in hopes to be able to use it on my smart phone for business calls.
idgrl2001 cool, I'm interested for interview and Carrier support calls.
This is far to complicated with a hard to read instruction booklet. It's cheaper to get an app for the iPhone.
