I bought it for the PC connectivity and Olympus won't support it If you go to Olympus' website you'd expect to find the driver for this DVR but nonot Olympuss. Spend your money on a product that is supportedalways. It's easy to google and see if they support their stuff. If support is the most difficult thing about them there is a reason.
Not too bad for how old it is I can't believe I'm calling something that came out 4 or 5 years ago old but with today's technology it is. I bought this for my wife about 4 years ago because she wanted something that she could record her shopping list on and then play back. She used it for about a month but decided that she didn't like all the looks she kept getting at the grocery store when she was playing back her list. It's been sitting in a drawer since then until I took it out the other day.
Very poor I found it hard to find drivers for the VN480 in Windows XP which didn't recognise it automatically. I should say that this is the original VN480 not the remanufactured and I do have a CD disk with it. I had to try several times to install drivers and also tried download from several Olympus sites. Eventually I did manual search of the CD and I got it to work but it shouldn't be so hard.Also the DSS player has some really awful functionality. You have to download entire folders from the recorder you can't search within folders on the recorder and you have to store the files in a specified directory which is not configurable.
Voice recorder fine but PC drivers don't work If you can get the driver for this to install on Windows XP Pro you're a better man than I. The CD software seems to install OK but then when you connect the recorder to the PC with the USB cable the PC wants to install a driver manually.
Nice Outside Ugly Inside ZERO Star if there is one I document meetings at work so we got an Olympus VN480PC Digital Voice Recorder at work. It did not last one day before I got an ERR message. It never worked again. We returned it and will never get one ever.
Just awful 1. Olympus doesn't provide drivers online. Why not? It's not like they have any value if you haven't purchased the player already.2. The VN series is evidently not compatible with Windows Vista. It won't let me reinstall the drivers.3. The forced file hierarchy A B C groups is dumb and causes problems. Why can't I just plug it in and drag/drop your files in Windows Explorer?4. When you speak S's pop even when you're a couple of feet away.I wish I had purchased another brand.
High Quality This product is extremely easy to use. High and Medium Quality recording settings both sound great and transferring files is a breeze. Sure it's refurbished but aren't we all? Hollatchaboy.
vn series connect to pc's It turns out that the Olympus instructions omit the second part of installing the drivers that allow download. I found instructions on another site.1 Install the software from the CD.2 LEAVE THE CD IN THE DRIVE FOR THE FIRST CONNECTION3 Connect the VN device. If the Windows found new hardware routine comes up automatically then just work through that. Choose automatic when it asks where to look for the drivers.4 If the found new hardware doesn't come up automatically use the add new hardware feature in the control panel.5 My installer found two different possible infs one was the VNUSB the other was oem Use the one that is highlighted by the installer which for me was not the VNUSB6 The hardware installer will complete as usual and recognize the device.It still has a clunky file and folder structure but will do for voice recording.
Good recording but terrible software ruins it The recording quality and functionality is all standard and as you would expect.However the device does not integrate with the file system when uploading to your PC and you are forced to use the terrible Waveplayer. You can't copy files to new locations or save them in multiple places for security. For this reason I'd avoid this product as there are much better interfaces out there.
Remanufactured VN480 This product was not adequately described in the product information. It was not compatible with voicerecognition programs and it should have said so up front. It has good voice reproduction but just wasn't exactly what I was looking for.
