The voice recorder has 35 files on, where I have recorded some interviews. Some were done face-to-face, others were done over a landline phone with a cable plugged in from the phone to the digital recorder. Now when I press play to hear the recordings, all I get is a quiet hiss. The recorded files all appear to be on the recorder because the when you p;ay a file, the countdown timer starts, showing the length of the recording. Is there any way of being able to hear the recordings again? Do I just transfer them onto a computer and listen that way, or do you think the recordings have gone? I hope you can help me please. Thanks Becca
Did any of the files ever playback with sound? You can record sounds, but that doesn't mean the recorder is picking them up. A bad connection, level control setting could be wrong.
Try to do another short recording. If you are using a microphone pull the jack out during recording and put it back in again. Then listen to the recording. If there is sound when the microphone is in and it goes when it is out, then there is a possibility that somehow you recorded the other stuff with no connection and that's why there is no sound. If there is no sound on the new recording at all, then you might have a faulty playback amplifier inside the device.

To transfer recordings from the Sony ICD-B600 to Windows first buy a Radio Shack #42-2497 cable. Connect the cable from the recorder headphone jack to the computer microphone jack. In Windows XP follow the path: start, All Programs, Accessories, Entertainment, Sound Recorder. This small window will allow you to record 60 seconds of sound to a file. Get Article #82215 from the Microsoft web site. It will tell you how to make extended recordings. I was able to record 45 minutes continuously. The recorder is turned on by moving the 'HOLD' switch down. The recorder is turned off by moving the 'HOLD' switch up and waiting 2.5 seconds. Have fun.

Use an Olympus TP7 plug it into the mic jack and you should be good
