I still found the Zoom H6 useful but that may well be because I knew what the button layout was thanks to Neal's review and this underlines my point again. Take some time out to actually push or move the buttons, controls, levers and see what if anything might happen. Read reviews and see if the reviewer may actually mention the button layout of whatever the device is in the review which is often the case. And at the very worst, do some planning so that if you're able to get the use of a pair of eyes you can have them explain the basic layout of whatever it is you're trying to use, take notes from there and you'll be surprised at what you can do from that point 99% of the time. Remember the hard drive audio recorder I mentioned some time ago on list? Well that unit did take a lot of learning I admit and I acknowledge that if it hadn't been for the feedback I got over so many weeks from a sighted person and the notes I took then I would have been stuck. Now I've memorised much of the functionality of the recorder and - if ever I'm not quite sure of a function - then I can always look it up.

Zoom could be verry well on the way to making the F recorders accessible 1 day maybe. I agree though, just one thing, zoom manuals are for the most part not very useful when you want to know sertin button layout or combinations. That could make things difficult when you want to no how to open the settings for h1n for example, as it don't state wich button to press when powering on. I must say though however, that the zoom handy rec app for ios work quite well. I plan on getting the zoom IQ7, wich should give me the same audio quality as the H4N, and then not to worry about learning usibility for the moment, but I will sometime have to take the plunch though. On another note, if you want to use the same capchuals as the zoom h6, and you don't want the h6 or to deal with difficulty, you can also get the zoom u44, wich is compatible with those captuals and you will have very quiet PreAmps, in an more accessible way as the u44 don't have menus.
