It says it records from a line-in function. What kind of jack does it have? In what format is the resulting audio file? What options are available?

It uses a standard 3.5mm stereo jack. The result is an MP3 file whose bitrate I don't recall. See page 23 of the user guide http://attila.kinali.ch/iAUDIOX5_English.pdf

There is an input jack for recording from a microphone or other audio source. The input jack (microphone) and the output (headphone) jack are stereo 1/8" jacks. If helpful, the Sony ICD-UX533 & UX533F user guide is online at: http://rd1.sony.net/help/icd/u53/uc and contains the specs for this device. You may find the "Recording" and "Menu -&gt; Menu Items" sections of the user guide useful as they relate to your needs and the features for this device.

Can you tell me how you are going to connect this device as I am unfamiliar with it. I connect a portable device I have through the RCA connections. This enables the sound, music etc., to run through it as well as record. It also has a USB port on the back, although I have not tried to directly record from this devise, as my portable device records. It does not have a particular button, switch or toggle for recording so if the device you are using does not have the recording capability I'm not sure how you would get into "record" mode. Though I am saying this without reading the manual which is packed away at the moment.

We bought several of these for the express purpose of recording wiring instructions on computers. First of all, let's make sure it does what you think it does. It is a microphone that you put in your ear. It hears both sides of the conversation. That microphone needs to plug into something which records. your computer can do that with software, as long as you plug the microphone into a microphone jack on it. Windows comes with "Sound Recorder", or you can download Audacity or any of a bunch of other applications. You may need to open the microphone properties and set the volume and boost all the way up to get reasonable volume on the recording.

Yes it records in stereo. I do not transfer the audio. I play it back on the unit so I do not know in what format it transfers.

No recording feature with this unit. I recommend purchasing a mixer/amplifier. I have a Peavy PVi 4B. It has an output jack that allows taping to cassette or mp3 player using the proper cables. I have not tried this but is stated in the functions that is in the manual for the mixer.

No idea, but it sounds like a really, really cool recorder! That being said it records from my very low fidelity iMac and plays on other computers and on my very low end Insigna DVR. Perhaps buy a small pack from office depot or ?, try and find out. Good luck.

Hi, this is a cassette recorder which uses Standard Audio Cassette. It has a built in microphone however, if you are in a band and need fast recordings for band jams with very loud sound, you may connect an external mic (stereo mini plug) for it to record those loud sounds. -Ely

Honestly the suck. I hooked it up to my sound system it lasted about a month before my records didnt sound right. Your better off getting a older used one. If you wanna record on your computer get audacity or soundwave and a rca to 3.5mm cord and plug in the the mic port.

i believe so. i use it in podcasting and will often times have it in record ready mode - my words not theirs - you can depress the record button one and it flashes red which enables the audio feed to pass through the line out or headphones jack. good luck

I plug it into the mic jack on my computer and record using software like Audacity. I presume you could plug it into any recording device with a microphone jack.

I never found out. I did not like this digital recorder and could never get it to download to my computer. I gave it to the Goodwill with instructions for someone else to figure out.

Unfortunately it only records in mono. You'll only get one side of audio and you'll have to mirror it in post production. It works great for mono recording but is, shall we say, a little one sided.

It will record from a microphone located on the side of the unit. I seldom use it, but it is fine for recording meetings etc. Not a stellar recorder, but in a pinch it can do the job. It does not have port for recording from another kind of device, but you can transfer files for listening using the computer input which is located on the end of the unit where the earphone jack is located. Top hole is for earphone, then the on/off switch, then the USB mini which can transfer data from a computer. Hope that helps you.

Hello RR Mason,To Answer your questions I've got to say Yes to all. This unit has 2 sets of in/out "Monitor/Record" jacks.By having a Tape Player/Recorder connected to #1 and CD Recorder/Player connected to #2 it is as simpleas either monitor #1 with #2 or vice versa, or record to both devices, by monitoring a third source, (i.e.) phono, tuner, aux. Personally I havn't set mine up to do this, but I'm sure it would work if I did. Hope this helps. Best of Luck. Sonicman
