is there a "voice activated" record mode?

Yes. According to the directions I downloaded in PDF format for this recorder, there is a "voice activated" mode. There is also a way to set how loud a sound has to be to trigger the recorder to begin recording.

I don't think that you can pause - if you stop, a file is saved, and if you start recording again a new file will be created. If you use voice activation mode, recording will halt if there is no sound, then restart in same file, but if you get 'music on hold' or voice announcements, you are out of luck.

Yes, this does have the "record what you hear" feature. I would also suggest you look at the products at www.DAK.com. There products are the most reasonable and work great. There support is also unbeatable.

Yes, it does record voice. There is no start or stop button. With the device on it is always recording (voice activated). To listen to the recording you must download it onto a computer.

Not at the moment. You can see the name of curent show. The manufacturer continues to update the firmware, and keeps adding features. The latest firmware allows you to download the recordings. If many people ask, they might add the feature.

It is voice activated. But the quality of the recording is poor. It says that recordings are able to be uploaded to the computer but none of my recordings ever uploaded. I followed instructions on the manual and it never worked.

No, you cannot go directly to the desired recording. During some recordings the voices sounded muffled not audible.

I would suggest Audacity. Its a free voice recorder program that lets you record with the microphone and edit the recording to your liking.

The recorder does have a manual set recording where you can select individual programs. User that method if you are not interested in reruns.

Byron,This model does not have the voice activated feature. There are other Sony recorders that do. If interested in those models, feel free to message me and will try and help you. Have a super day!

The recorder is not voice opetated. For the simplest operation, there are standard record and play buttons. If you care to get more organized by using folders, you can then also use the menu and fast forward buttons.

I can see that you can record in the radio mode, but it does not allow you to set a timer to start or end the recording job.

Yes it has an option to record audio also. The audio quality is very good but I don't record it, only video. Mine records in a loop just fine. (It continues to record over the oldest recording on card when it is full)
