With the sony icd-sx1000, can i dictate, change my mind, and then back up and dictate over a previously taped portion? thanks.

The instructions don't say you can back up and record over. You can pause and restart. I use it to record groups so it just goes. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

I got that too. I kept trying to insert and reset. Finally it said "formatting" and that was the last she wrote, i.e., the camera froze there. Packed it up and returned it the next day. I bought a (slightly) used Flip on eBay. I know opinions differ, but I had used (and loved) a Flip for years, had broken the lens and was looking to replace with something newer... hence the Kodak, which I found was shabbily made. Now back to another Flip. Even though Cisco dumped them, the Flip videos import as mP4's, and for my purposes, that works great and couldn't be happier with my new (used) Flip. Good luck!

I don't think so. I've used this for quite sometime and like it for a no nonsense answering machine but I don't think you have that option. However, you can "trick" it by filling the memory and then it won't record anything else but will still answer; in that case it will act like announce only.

Yes, you can replace the default recorded message with your own. You will have to make sure to tell callers to press 1, though. If they don't press 1, the call will be blocked by the Telebouncer.

Patrick....this is a pretty basic portable recorder. Materials on previously recorded cassettes can certainly be erased....editing such cassette tapes is possible but tricky because of their small size. Hope this is of some help.

Unfortunately, form my experience there is no way around it during recording. However, this camera has built-in editing functionality. You can stitch the snippets together into one continuous piece. It's quite easy. Then there is also the video editing software included with the camera.

The answer to your question is: "NO". That is only one of the reasons I returned the recorder.

I don't use dictation software so I wouldn't know. I suggest you call Sony customer service to find out.

It should be possible to erase/edit existing matter on "self-recorded" formerly blank tapes, provided that you haven't depressed the protective tabs, as mentioned in one of the other replies. Even on a pre-recorded commercial tape, for that matter, as long as you place strong adhesive tape over the holes where the recording tabs were, you should be able to erase/record over (in one action) whatever was there. As another respondent said, editing (erasing some, keeping some) is pretty tricky, but everyone who owned a cassette recorder in the '70s and '80s has had a go at it. It's largely guesswork, trial and error. This model should certainly be capable of all of the above. Hope this proves useful.

I don't think it can do that. You can't access menus. I'm pretty sure it's noted, too, in the manual that the record and play functions can't be used when the used is connected. Google the Sony user manual to be sure. (Mine is packed away right now or I would.)

No, you have to select the message while the recorder is not playing back or recording.

You can, James. Please remember: If the item you wish to review is 20-30 days old; and, has NOT been recorded over what you wan to see. Normally, if something happens, we do not have to go back 20-30 days. Save the clip you want; and, the dvr will not record over it. Have fun!

Yes you can record that one message easily. I recorded a full 2&1/2min piece of music. The unit resets for 3sec after playing and will start again the next time it is triggered. There is no wireless transmission so no interference between units. It has two sound levels to choose from. As long as you speak clearly and record at a good level, it will be heard fairly loudly. As for an SD card, I just used the one in my cell phone.

i did not find that option. the audio q. seems to be ok, rather clear. But i use it mostly for high speed recording which turns off the audio recording so i do not have much experience with the audio q.

The unit does not offer this option however you might be able to fool the unit by recording a memo tat uses all of the record time, i.e. fill up the message box. I believe the unit will still answer calls but will not be able to allow new messages. A second possible solution is to set the record message time to zero. Not sure if the unit will allow you to set less than 1 minute.
