I have a number of files on my digital recorder where I have recorded interviews. When I press play, it shows up the length of each interview and the countdown starts, but there is no sound, just a qu

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.

SOURCE: Sony IC Recorder ICD B600

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.

Recorder showing these words in window: ERR wish to restore it to folder index where I have important interviews filed.

The ERR indicator is only active if the DVR detects errors related to decoding of video/audio. These errors are due to discontinuities in the received or recorded file data.

After recording an interview, the file will not play back. It was around 15 minutes long... Every other VOCOR.wav file plays back except the one I need most. I try to select the file from the folder and it...

The File Could Possibly Be to Large For The Device To Hold, Possibly Re-Do The Interveiw In Smaller Sections About 5 Minutes Long, Then Loop Them Together

Olympus VN-480 digtial recorder - can't get my files to play back

if the power is interupted or improperly unplugged from the computer, the files may be corrupted... try to play the files and while playing move them to another folder... this may get your files back... else you will need to clear the recorder by pressing stop and erase at the same time for about 3 seconds.

Locked file

The folder lock can oly be solved by chosing the option "format" in the sub-menu. But please copy the *.dss - files still resting at your card at your harddisk first.
When the recorder finishes the format procedure, all folders will be unlocked again.

The "Read-Only-Failure" will occur again at recorders with differend user profiles, when you put the switched-off recorder into the docking station first and switch the power button to "on". So avoid this constellation!

Go to the music store where you bought this thing, or go to any music store that sells this product, and ask the young boy (I guess it'll be a young boy) to help you out with this. Difficult to now what's the problem without messing up with the buttons.
