When the play or record button is pressed, does the W-890R-B make a loud solenoid noise to engage the pinch roller? Or just a soft click noise?

The record/play/rewind processes in the Teac unit are operated by solenoid, which is an electronic actuation starting the drive motor (or the rewind/fast forward) motors. The click you hear is the mechanical parts of the record/playback/erase head moving into place. You will hear an audible click as they start. Because the drive mechanism is mechanical, you will always hear a click. On cheaper or older machines, the action is louder and more force is needed to physically move the mechanism through the record or play buttons. In short, you will hear a sound, but that sound is a electronic solenoid operating after you have touched an electronic switch. I have compared the sound of the Teac mechanism to that of other machines, such as the Sony WE 835S, which is a high end machine, and they are almost identical. I personally do not find the sound to be distracting. It is quite a soft sound. Hope this helps. BCP

I am sorry I do not understand what a solenoid noise is and i had to look up the word but i still do not have a sense of the sound.I would describe the sound as a loud click that does not seem to have any affect on performance .I am sorry i am not more helpful

The machine makes a loud click before playing or recording. It does not affect performance. We find newer electronics noisier than our older ones.

I haven't used the record, but the playback only makes a clicking sound when engaged.

No, it doesn't. I have never encountered any extraneous noise from handheld recording with the unit.

If your asking if it's like the sound of a mechanical one no. Other than that it has the normal click noise... (Also depends on how hard you hit it)

no clicking. drag adjustment is silent. This whole rod and reel is junk. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR $$. I used it for a display over my fireplace. All it is good for.

There is a variable speed control on the recorder. I haven't used it...but it's there. Can imagine it would be helpful if one was dictating into the machine.

Hi Coralio,No, this is not normal. Having a small kid I experienced that these recorders are very impact/pressure resistance and what you've received sound like a defected product.Cheers, Pejman

Yes we have this too...plus a ticking noise! My husband just noticed it, and was like what the heck? You can actually hear it on the video while playing back if we are recording in absolute silence. When he shuts off the auto focus the ticking noise stops. I would be interested in others with this camcorder to comment on the noise.....I mean is this a defect or something that is just the way the camcorder is?

It depends, some are noisy, but if its a "click" or a tapping sound then I would worry. COntact WD if you have concerns, they are very nice and helpful and they have a great return/ exchange service.

I had watched the video's and read many of the nutrimil reviews and many of them stated to make sure that you hear the click before you proceed. I have not had any issues with mine as I gently tilt the machine back a bit and then slide it in and listen for the attachment. Hope this helps.

I tried it out only once and didn't have any sucess with it. contacted the seller and they suggested I try increasing the volume out somewhere on the recorder. I haven't tried that yet. Not much faith in that though but we'll see.

It makes a click-clack sound that is not loud. For details, see my answer to the question: "Does this make noise?..."

It's a plug and play... I didn't have to change any setting. Mine did the clicking sound as well but it worked fine. I wouldn't know if it still works cause I lost it.

It makes noise but not a vacuum sound. The noise is made by the "roller that pics up stuff"

Have you initialized the disk?I use this recorder at work with a thermographic camera. It allows the process engineers to see where heat is affecting the quality of parts being welded and more!They like to watch what is being recorded while I'm recording as well.To solve this, put a splitter on the recorders input and use that to "feed" a monitor/TV with a RCA input jack.You can not finalize what you are not recording!

No, our did not make a clicking sound. However ours died already. It was only 8 months old. Honeywell would not stand behind it although we could prove purchase date. Couldn't find this model in a store so not sure if it was a bad model that they discontinued. Buy with caution. Maybe buy it from an actual store so you can return it if does die out on you. Let the store fight Honeywell.

Mine does the same thing, small load, clicking noise. I have only done very small loads like you, 3 1/4 cups flour for 1 loaf of bread, & it clicks every time. Very annoying when I have read reviews that some lucky customers have mixers that don't click. Kitchenaid Customer service says "normal under heavy load", so in my opinion, it's NOT normal under a light/small load. Still working with customer service to try to get a unit that doesn't click, the replacement they sent me was worse than the original. Very frustrating.
