Title: Clunky controls, inconsistent recording
Product review: Awkward clunky controls make this a poor choice for someone who wants to use the product regularly. The VAS and general recording is also clunky, because it takes two seconds for the first sounds to get recorded. You need to take a deep breath after you push RECORD and then stay the same distance from the microphone, or else you'll get a choppy recording. Worse still, the unit MAY NOT RECORD if the case is not closed in a certain way. It looks like it's recording, but then doesn't record. What is the point of a tape recorder if you can't trust it?I finally got sick of the thing and bought a Sony M-470. It was a few $ more but well worth it. My favorite all-time recorder was my old Panasonic RN-305, but after 5 years of continuous use, it broke. Luckily, the Sony is almost as good.
