Excelent A excelent and VERY versatile machine. It's just what I've been looking for since the demise of cassettes.
perfect for my application I got this just recently. out of the box it worked with no difficulty the default recording setting is fine. The LCD screen however could be simplified with less clutter and info. other than that i couldn't be happier.
Bad Charge Mode I received the recorder and installed four new AA NiMH 3000mAH batteries that were previously fully charged. The battery selector was found to be in the Alkaline position and I moved it the NiCad/NiMH position before installing the batteries. The batteries install over the tiny switch so if the switch must be moved it must be moved to the correct position before any batteries are installed. The unit turns ON and appears to be functional in that I was able to set the date and time. It correctly sensed the installation of a 32GB Sandisk card. The instruction manual indicates that battery charging only takes place when the AC adaptor is connected and the recorder is OFF. This is where I found this unit to be defective. The display flashes a battery symbol a blank screen and produces a clicking sound approximately every second. In addition both the peak and record LED's flash in synchronism with the clicking sound. I called Sanjean and spoke with a technician. He told me that the battery symbol must remain displayed with bars that show the charging process and that this unit is defective. I called Amazon and a replacement unit will be shipped. It seems that others have received defective Sanjean units. I previously received a defective Sanjean radio that was replaced without any protest.
SD Card Not Readable and Format Taking Long Time When I insert an SD card the LCD says NO SD Card. When I select Menu System Setup SD Card SD Format = Yes the LCD says Format The 2 GB Class 4 SD Card has now been formatting for 8 Hours. How long should the format take and when would I know it is done? There is no support provided at the Sangean USA web site.
Didn't Work Sent to China for Help It looked like a solid item but upon arrival and set up it would not record. We contacted the company we purchased from and they put us in email contact with the mfg in China. Nothing against the company we purchased from but trying to get something working via email with the time difference of China.didn't work for us.
Pretty Cool Digital Version of a Tape Recorder This thing is incredibly easy to setup and use. The menu controls are a little clunky as I had to remind myself to press menu to return to the previous menu but the wheel is pretty intuitive and makes it easy to navigate. Other than setting up some of the options you put in a memory card and then plug it in and go. It's easy to record your own voice or hook up an auxiliary device like an MP3 player or stereo and record that. I have not used the advanced features like setting up the recorder to record shows from the radio at a preset time. Other than that the only downside is the price. It's 4X or 5X more expensive than a cheap stereo system or an old tape recorder.
Tremendous ! I bought this reorder for business meetings and conference room use. I tested it today at my son's basketball game after it first arrived. The recording quality is neary astonishing. It has a resonance that reminds me of my father's old reel to reel I used to use to record when I was a kid without any of the mechanical noise of course. Although that machine was outmoded even back then it had a far superior and more realistic audio quality than cassettes or anything else.Similarly the Sangean stands dramatically superior as compared to the shrill tinlike audio that's common in most smaller sized digital recorders out there today. Yet the Sangean is also considerably cheaper than most of the professional recorders out there.This would be a fantastic recorder for things like nature sounds podcast production news reporting etc.
sangean dar 101 recorder sangean recorder worked great for 2 months. then there was a static background that would not go away. i called sangean and they said send it to us with $8.00 and we'll fix it under the warranty. 3 weeks went by and i still did not have the recorder returned to me. i called them again and they said it would take them another 23 weeks because we're doing the best we can. so i guess they are backlogged with nonworking sangean recorders.DO NOT BUY THIS JUNK RECORDER. HORRIBLE WARRANTY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE.
BEWARE!! Mine made batteries EXPLODE!!! Sangean DAR101 digital voice recorderWhile there may be a number of decent features of this unit it mine at leasthas a fundamental flaw that is downright DANGEROUS to itself and others! Inside the battery compartment is a slide switch to select either alkaline or NiMH rechargeable battery type. Obviously there should be NO charging voltage sent to the batteries if ALKALINE is selected but in MINE that switch simply FAILS to turn off the voltage from the external power. This can and DID make a BIG MESS inside which I tried to clean up as best I could. This goes right along with other comments about the overall look&feel being on the cheaper side in this case being more than just cosmetic.I wish I had caught it in time to return but I guess 30 days was all the grace one can expect.
Good product for field recording I was pleasantly surprised to receive this product much before the expected delivery date. It was very easy to handle and work with. The recording has several settings which makes it versatile to record. The quality of stereo image is clean . I have not so far checked the recording with external microphones. I can play and record in the SD card. Have still to check all the features.
