Questions & Answers

It does not appear to have a memory card slot in the description, so how does it work?

As mentioned in the description, the card size is mentioned Increase your storage space with the micro SD card slot One of the biggest advantages of the ICD-S is With its 4 GB of built-in memory, the PX470 can record in stereo for up to 59h 35m at 128kbps, if it is set to MP3 format. If you use a micro SD card in addition to your camera, you can add up to 32 GB of additional memory - this equates to over 536 hours (32 GB Micro SD, MP3, 128 kbps) of recording time.

How long will the recordings last when the batteries are dead?

There may be a memory loss because the recording is still in memory, but somehow the battery is dying, so the recording ends with the annoying beep. The last time I looked at it was a while ago.

In the event of a dead battery, will recordings be lost?

It doesn't matter if the battery dies, you won't lose what you recorded

Selected User Reviews For Sony ICD-PX470 Stereo Digital Voice Recorder with Built-in USB Voice Recorder, Black

A model such as this Despite ordering an 8GB recorder of a different brand, it could not connect to my PC in any way
5/5

There is no way to show a file folder in Windows 10. Cables have been changed, ports have been changed, and documentation has been reviewed. There was just no way to make it My first choice was not good, so I tried it again. There is only 4GB of memory on this Sony, but it works fine. Connecting to a Windows 10 PC was not an issue. With the USB cable embedded into the recorder, computers instantly recognize it as a USB storage device. Sony is smart to integrate the USB connector into the recorder, so there is no need to worry about a cable. As of now, I have recorded over 20 audio files and 3 hours worth of audio, and the battery is still showing as There is plenty of storage space in 4GB. I don't see the need for any more memory unless you plan to never remove it. There is no problem with the native microphone quality. It is easy to use, I purchased a small lavalier microphone and connected it to the device by wire. The quality is almost studio quality after processing the sound files with a sound editing program to remove background noise. The interface is intuitive, the buttons are clearly marked and do what they should. My search for a recorder ended here.

This digital voice recorder is great
5/5

A few days ago I bought several other small digital voice recorders, and all of them broke down. I think this one works! is very easy to use since it has lots of good features. I am just reading the user's manual that came with it, but I've been using it without any problems since I took it out of the box. It is very straightforward. It has been several days since I transferred files to my computer, deleted files, etc. and have not yet come across a menu in Chinese! In one other recorder that I ordered (and later returned), it got stuck on a menu in Chinese and I could not get it to return I like the layout of the buttons, and it is easy to use. During operation, you can always see a battery status indicator on the screen, so you can know when it is on the verge of needing new batteries - There is nothing to be surprised by. When I record voice with it, I connect headphones to make the voice even clearer. The speaker on the recorder is not bad, but The other thing that I like about the app is that when you click to delete a file, the file is played so that you are sure which is it. This type of device can also accept a mic, as well as have a "hold" feature that locks out all buttons so that while you have it in your pocket, it is not affected by accidental My backup will be another one of these if this one stops working. Now I have one that actually.

I really like these cameras because they record pretty well and they last long as promised
4/5

In terms of recording quality, it was pretty good. It also lasted quite a while when fully charged. There is only one complaint I've got a big one for you A problem I have is that you cannot go back. If you have set a track mark before playing the recording, you will not be able to go back. To double check what you heard just a moment ago, you can't rewind a few seconds or a couple of minutes. As a result, this limitation is a huge issue for me. I need to listen to the recording on my device as soon as possible to complete my job. In most cases, I listen to files on the computer, which allows me to rewind or forward as much time I need. In case this feature is available, I would rate it a 5 out of 5.

That voice recorder was a bad choice for me
3/5

Please see https//www. nbsp As a way to improve my video tutorials, I bought this digital recorder, which suggests it will help by eliminating noise. However, after testing it, I found that it does not have Noise filters are the only ones to use. Both of which don't work.

Let me know what you think about my video review. Initially, I recorded audio using my mobile phone. Next, I listened to the recorded audio (1st segment showed how I recorded my audio. 2nd segment showed how I recorded my audio using my Sony digital recorder). I apologize for the sound being even louder than it sounds from this recorder. This noise, which was coming from an electric fan, was actually even louder from this recorder. There is no wind coming from the fan, just the sound of a fan blade. That thing is capable of picking it up from a distance of 7 feet. In other words, this device is VERY SENSITIVE, which is great. When you are in a soundproof room without any form of air conditioning. Without a filter, this thing will still pick up all noise. There is a cheaper alternative from Sony, but it doesn't come close to the quality of their expensive recorders. It cancels out noise in a way that reminds me of my Chinese mobile phone (Xiaomi Redmi 5A) which cost 60 dollars. In my VIDEO REVIEW, you can see a description of my experience. If you want to waste money on a mobile phone, go buy one instead. Moreover, the sound quality is much better and it is much easier to transfer files (more convenient to send, handle, and send). Using / purchasing this Sony Recorder has no benefit at all.

A thumb drive or flash drive, this works just like a thumb drive or flash drive
3/5

This review might not apply The following observations are from the user only. There is no need to download or install any software or applications. Just plug it in and it will work. The device works like a thumb drive or flash drive. It has a transcription mode that allows you to capture good audio for transcription purposes. However, the only problem was that after the batteries died, all recordings were deleted automatically. Whenever you record something, be sure to store it in your computer.

This recording method is very useful for recording choir rehearsals so that the recordings can be used to learn the songs
4/5

As a member of a choir that I sing in, I was able to record rehearsals and learn the music with this recorder. The fact that I can add track marks makes it easy for me to go back over (and over) the areas I need to fix and skip the rest is an added bonus. The device is relatively easy to use via the website, and it uses AAA batteries so it doesn't require any expensive batteries. I am only giving it 4 stars because I have noticed that the automatic recording settings, such as "lecture", "meeting", "soft music", and "loud music" do not record at a loud enough volume to be useful, even with the "microphone characteristics" changed. A good thing the auto setting works is that it keeps your computer from freezing. I have noticed that the recordings sound better when I plug it into my car radio or boom box, but sound tinny through the tiny speaker on the recorder.
