I only got around to trying this now, after 2 years. The beginning of every record skips for a few minutes and then it is ok. any suggestions?

Same thing happened to me. The stylus skated across every album I tried. I even tried tapping pennies and dimes to the top of the stylus to weigh it down with no success. I got a full refund from the seller and bought a Behrringer UFO202 device to play thru my old Techniques turn table from the 80's. Works great and only cost $35.00 for the converter.

These turntables have terrible counterweights. If after adjusting the counterweight you still have the skip problem ....you can try putting a hose clamp on it. Someone else online did this and it worked fine.

An old trick I learned when I was a kid was to put a penny on top of the head of the tone arm, the little bit of extra weight keeps the needle in the groove. If it happens with every record that might fix it, if one penny helps but doesn't stop the skipping add another. I wouldn't put more than 3 pennies on it though.I hope that works.

I had issues with many records skipping with this player. Researched it a lot and discovered that it's not really fixable. There is no adjustment possible on the arm, and it's a super cheapo needle. I bought a new turntable, Audio-Technica, here on Amazon. I've had no issues at all with skipping on it. And honestly...it sounds significantly better. Unfortunately, this ion player is just a bad buy. Some products can made and sold at a low price without sacrificing too much quality. This just isn't one of those.

It's probably the recording you're listening to. Try a different track and/or player

I gave the recor4d player to my granddaughter. Check the directions that came with the player. Not much help, sorry. Go to a recordplayer repair shop (if you can find one)

I've had similar issues with system. A short term fix is to reformat the hard drive (be aware this erases previous recordings.) I have read that setting up a separate router solely for the cameras and DNR would be a long term fix. That is a more complex task. I currently just delete or move files from recording hard drive when system slows down. Possibly more memory would help too. Hope this helps!

I have had the same exact problem. Worked great for awhile; now just shows it is recording and doesn't register any sound. Would love to hear if anyone has a solution?

get the manual; I think it will loop, erase oldest and record indefinitely, don't really know though.

It is normal for this and all portable digital recorders I can think of to go into Pause when you first press Record (you have to press Record a second time or else press Play during the Record-Pause--either work with this device). However, if the time counter actually shows that recording has begun by counting up the seconds and THEN the recorder pauses, that is a problem. Would not call it junk if that is the problem. These devices are miniature computers, and Quality Assurance might only be sampling build lots instead of stress-testing every unit in this price range. I have found this recorder to meet my needs as a good recorder of spoken word. (I did not buy it for recording live music.)

I had so many issues with this player myself that I eventually scrapped it and purchased one of superior quality..... Off brands can be tricky to deal with.... you might try formatting the player to clear everything off the memory.

I am having the same issue. Only with brand new albums. I have a 1930's record that is very scratched and THAT plays well. I was thinking what Keitholeous said. I am curious as to whether you had this resolved? Thanks

The sound records on the videos OK and I can hear it when I upload them to my computer. But the camera itself makes no sounds whatsoever -- no video playback sound, no shutter sound, etc., despite what the camera settings are. It's almost as if its own speaker is not connected / broken.

Sorry, but I haven't reached that point yet. But I'm guessing when memory storage has been reached, it won't record any more. I'm still getting more familiar with mine but so far have been very pleased with it. I use my "antique" recorder as a backup.

I'm not sure about that. I couldn't find a setting for that, just make sure the "Loop Recording" is not set to "Off". Other than that I don't know what the issue might be, sorry.

Has anyone had any problems with skipping in the files when playing back? I have used 8 gig nano and 30 gig ipod with Mikey (Blue) microphone. I have had problems with gaps (or skips) in the recording files and don't understand what is happening. Any comments or feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello,Recording is rather simple with this machine. Once turned on , press record, let it initialize, press record,,again. You have to hit the stop button twice for it to stop recording. to play back hit play. Your recording should play back. I have several of these recorders and one does not playback through the recorder only through the computer. I had no problem getting the company to send a replacement.

The switching between video was fine....no problems at all there. Audio is another story. The audio cuts out and I never did find a concrete way to get it to come back on reliably. I eventually just stopped using the box. Its a paper weight now unfortunately.

You need to play with the settings for video. It seems like you have the lapse feature on, which records in chunks as small as 1 minute; you can disable that and record without interruptions. The screen will automatically disable after 3 minutes of recording.

Pretty sure it only does that after first putting it in and after having it connected to a PC. However, there is an issue, this thing is slow and laggy in the menus. Sometimes it takes up to 8 seconds just to skip to the next song. I can't recommend it.
