does this recorder accept a charge through a plug in charger or usb connection?

Through the usb connection that is connected to the device. No plug in charger.

the recorder has a push out usb plug that plugs into your usb in your computer or hub and charges the recorder. This works really well!!

You can charge it with the USB connection for its original AAA rechargable battery. Of course, you can charge or replace the battery at your convenience.

usb that is built into the recorder that plugs into your pc/mac usb or usb hub.

No, not the WS-801 However, the models WS-802 and WS-803 will charge (rechargeable) batteries through the USB plug, either with the (optional) plug-in adapter or through a USB connection with a PC.

It has a USB plug which will charge the recorder (if you tell the recorder to charge rechargeable batteries.) You can record and use the other features while it is plugged in and charging from a wall charger, but you cannot operate the recorder while it is plugged into a computer. You could get an extension USB cable for convenience. But that still seems clumsier than just swapping in a fully charged battery. The main advantage of operating while plugged in would be to enable really long term recording. With a large chip, lower resolution MP3 recording, and no limit on the power supply, you could record continuously for hundreds of hours.

You can either leave the rechargeable battery in the recorder and use the USB port installed in the recorder to attach it to the USB port on your computer, or a USB charger; or remove the battery and use any external battery charger to recharge it. You can also replace it with another charged battery or an alkaline battery.

very small hand held item. 2.0 usb. with all the attachments that come with this recorder, it is well worth the money. i have really enjoyed using this and you can take it any and everywhere. recording sound is super great.

Built in USB......very impractical......very nice recorder.....built in rechargeable batteries. Comes with mini stand and tripod screw.

No, but I do have to insert it in my USB outlet located on the front of my computer to listen to what it has recorded and to recharge the device. I am still new with using it and hope to learn more soon.Once the device is charged and in the "ON" position, it starts recording anywhere you have or leave it.Each recorded session can be copied to your hard drive.They are right about the sound quality--it's pretty good!

When you plug this recorder into a USB, a message comes up on the recorder screen saying, "Press OK to charge." If you press the central OK button, it will go into charging mode, instead of connecting to the computer as a 'storage' device. This recorder is very well designed, but when asking for the charging mode, the backlight is off, and it might be hard to read in dim external light.

the Sony Professional Digital Voice Recorder does not have a usb port. Also unable to download to the computer. The good thing is arrival time for shipping is O.K. I thought the shipping and handling is included if the total price is over $35.

Yes it does through the USB. However it isn't a very good device. I'm going to have to replace it soon as most of the "plugs" aren't working. I'm actually pretty disappointed with this product.

It comes with a small sd card and a cover that you can put the recorder in. It does not come with a ac plug adapter I highly recommend you buy one because the batteries only last a few minutes

Unfortunately no but you can charge it using the usb cable thats lodged in the strap. This works well but you can't charge while you're recording it simply will not allow you to. I bought a wasabi charger on amazon and it work fine.

the recorder uses a solid state "Flash" memory chip to record. Not a tape. a kind of memory that retains data in the absence of a power supply.

Not in my tape player. Must be charged externally (overnight in my house for me) but charge seems to last a while.

Not sure about your first question, since I always start manually. But regarding the second, is it possible you haven't "connected" the recorder-- that is, clicked on "USB" in the main menu of File Manager Software and then clicked on "Connect Recorder"?

Yes. Photo shows where record player plugs into. Opposite side is USB and it comes with chord.

I had a charger for another appliance that charged the recorder. I think that the factory/seller intends for you to plug their charge line into a computer. The nightmare instructions make understanding the recorder impossible. I sure regret the purchase.

No, you can't. This recorder doesn't have usb connection, only stores in a built-in memory and you play from it.
