Re batteries on DM-520 1. When USB is connected from the pc, you need to select (with voice feedback whether you want to charge, or connect the unit for data transfer.
2. It doesn't automatically try and charge any batteries, you either need to initiate this, or select the mode. 3. I had some reliability problems - but really didn't dig deeply to resolved it, with the supplied batteries, which it said were fully charged, but which were behaving oddly, so I mainly use regular AAA's in the device. 4. As with the DS-71, the batter level is announced when ever you power the machine off and on, so it is easy to be sure your batteries have sufficient juice for a recording session ahead.

In reading, I saw that when using the supplied rechargable batteries, one must connect the unit to a PC and hold the stop button until the indicator lets one know that the unit is charging. How is this accomplished if you can't see the indicator? If I choose not to use the rechargable batteries and just plop some regular batteries in the recorder, will the recorder try to charge the nonrechargable batteries when I attach it to the PC to transfer files? Any light shed on this point would be much appreciated. Thanks.
