I do not understand the looping thing. I assume it means it plays a sound track over and over again. One reviewer said it was a 10 second clip that loops. There is a much more expensive competitor out that that supposedly has 30 minute clips. Is the...

The sounds emulated are such; rain, ocean, stream flow and etc. that the "looping" is never obvious. It's not like hearing the same song over and over.

No loop feature specifically, and I don't believe I ever left it on long enough to tell whether it restarted from the beginning when it was through. I was more in the habit of hooking up an ipod shuffle (which looped). I'd check on it, but it's boxed up at the moment.

I use my loop for all bass parts and it works great. I run guitar left 50 on main out, bass right 50 on main out, that way I have separate channels on my board. You have to make sure you record the start at the same time as the first track though to keep it is synch. My recorded bass is always correct, never forgets the arrangement, takes no cut, and never misses rehearsal. The 3rd channel is available for other parts. More recently I put down 4, 5,6, 7 or 8 tracks on my digital recorder, mix them down, and put on one loop. It frees up a lot of space on the loop, and it still sounds live.

I've never used this feature, but to answer you question my husband turned on the music. Apparently each of the 5 songs plays for about 30 seconds and then plays again,and again, and again for approximately 20 minutes. You select which song you want to play. I hope this answers your question. The monitor is really a sanity saver because it lets me do some things while the baby sleeps. One more thing, don't expect to see anything on the screen in bright sunshine. It is completely washed out in that kind of light, but well worth having outside because you can hear the baby when he wakes up. I wouldn't be without it.

I never got to this point of experimentation. If I recall it broke down before completing the 2nd tape. So there was no chance to test whatever capability it claimed. It had great potential but only if it worked, poor design, poor manufacturing, is as cheaply made as they knew how. High speed recording requires a much more sophisticated and much better built machine. Not in this price range, I don't think. I went back to an old "Boombox" I had with its cassette player still in tact. I hope it stays healthy till I finish digitizing. I hope you found this to be of help. PS: I used to design piezo-electric phono-cartridges back in the days. So, I have some aptitude. Good luck. I never got to this point of experimentation.

It's not very realistic. It's a short loop, repeated, while the ocean is always varied, even when rhythmic. But it's a nice noise blocker. I can't recommend the unit, however, as mine lasted just over a week before total and final death.

In "Play all", I don't like the way it repeats songs sometimes several times before others get played even once. I don't have any songs rated, so they should all be at the same level. It also seems to go through a subset of albums, playing several from each before other albums get their chance. I tried picking "repeat" with "shuffle", thinking it may actually run through all the songs first before repeating. No luck. Did anyone not notice this? Maybe it's just my e280.

Its a 20 second looper that has about 4 overdubs so you build a sound. But no, there are not seperate channels. You can build or use a single sound and then turn off the looped sound or on by a single tap if the pedal. But you could not record seperate sounds and switch between them.

There are settings that you can edit. I run mine for 5 minutes max. It's perfect though. I might actually change into a minute because it does loop recording with no gaps and it does not take as long to transfer a file over vs the 5 minute clips. I don't remember off the top of my head but you first must stop any recording. Then you push the little button on the bottom (normally turns the screen on or off while it is recording) and it will pull up the settings menu. Play around in that and you will see how different options and you can change your record options there. I also chose to have my display turn off my itself after 1 minute (its the fastest). I entered my licenses plant number as well. It's a great device with lots of options. Check it out and you get into the settings. :)

I haven't noticed it if there is. The sound quality of the tapes is better than other items like this I've used, and the "looping" less obvious. i take it with me when I travel, it helps a lot.

by my understanding after using it and reading the manual, there are are only two options; loop or recording until full. The loop recording has three different times. However, the longest loop time is 10 minutes. This is my main complaint. Why only short loop recordings? If you turn OFF the loop, it keeps recording until the SD is full. Then, it stops recording unless you delete some recorded files or format it. Unlike a surveillance camera system, it is not capable to overwrite the storage and keeps recording over and over through the whole capacity of a storage. If I am wrong, please let me know. by my understanding after using it and reading the manual, there are are only two options; loop or recording until full.

My camera does not have a 10 min. loop either, not sure that isn't a bit of an error in the product description. Suggest you contact the customer service name in the documentation to see what they say. Would be interested in their comment as I have ordered another unit for my other vehicle. Love the unit and the video it produces. Have mine set at 720 rather than 10180.

Every time you overdub, it creates a brand new track with the previous track along with the overdub. This means that you can overdub on the same track infinitely. I honestly would not recommend the overdub feature because it has no metronome and no blinking light to tell you when to come in.

In USB mode, it is capable of loop. Even if you turn it off, the audio file will continue to play as soon as you switched it on.

This particular device is not a "player" so you don't ever get good quality. I don't think it plays faster when I listen to mine, but sometimes it records things too fast. Try listening to the music you record as an Mp3 on your computer. If it sounds right then the device is working. They now have a new homepage and updates for the player on-line so you might go there and see if there is information to help.

I'm sorry but in not sure about the video loop. I can tell you that the picture quality is very good though.

That is a very good question, but I cannot answer it. I don't have a loop DVD or I'd try it for you. Sorry.
