Okay...makes sense! Thanks again for your help! I like the fact that when you power up the machine, it tells you how it's doing on battery life! My DS-40 didn't do that! Tom Kaufman

Have been fiddling around with this thing; found where to change bit rate and such; also found where to adjust recording level (currently set to "middle) that should work! I've found two little holes on the upper right side of the recorder! Are these for anything? Thanks for helping to get me started!

Then you browse to it using windows explorer or file explorer depending on your version of windows navigate to the recorder's subfolders where your files are located and copy and paste to your hearts content. In order to get to menus I believe middle of the elongated keys across the top of the face of the recorder brings you into menus once in there you can up and down arrow through main menu categories and then right arrow into the sub menus. If I've miss-stated anything I'm sure someone will come and save the day and clarify.

I want to be able to transfer files to my computer (actually to the external drive that is on my computer) so, how do I accomplish this?

As for mp3 settings they do speak they're in the record menu and I believe it does linear pcm wave mp3 64, 128 or 320 kbps. Folder changing button I believe is lower right hand corner of front face of the recorder.

I decided to go ahead and put the battery in and see what I can get out of it! One question I have (and I actually have more than one) but for now I'd like to know where the little thingy is where you plug in if you want to transfer something to your computer (I assume that this recorder will allow for that) would hate to think that I have bought a digital recorder that has no way to accomplish this! However I'm not finding it; the other thing is that maybe there's a possibility that I don't have the right kind of cord that'll work with this recorder? I do have other questions, such is what's the magic button I push to change from folder-A to Folder-B? And how do I tell it that I want to make MP3 recordings? From what I am seeing, not all the functions speak, so one can get lost! But remember that I've just begun to explore this little thing, so there's probably a lot that I'm not seeing! Would be helpful if there is some type of tutorial for this machine? Thanks for any help or guidance that any of you can provide! Tom Kaufman Denton, MD.
