I haven't had my mpower long enough to even KNOWE what you guys are talking about! I'd like to test it but haven't gotten that far in the manual... anyone with the patience to give me a basic, so I can test my machine before 30 days are up, soon?

A list member sent hers in and had a board replaced which fixed the problem and all recordings sound as they should in the default settings. That list member sent me an attachment and her machine sounds fine now. A friend of mine in this state has a similar problem. I hope to send my unit in to have the record audio board fixed as well. I can set the levels and have it sound reasonable but when I do a reset, the default settings are back thus my recordings sound awful again! I'd rather have it fixed so my recordings sound fine and I don't need to worry about losing quality in my recordings once I do a reset. If the level stayed the same no matter when I reset, I wouldn't worry about the repair but they don't so feel my unit needs service.
