Please don't waste your money on this recorder if you plan on using it for any other reason than to record your own voice at close range - which it does pretty well. I purchased this recorder to record lectures and so far all I get on playback is voice quality so low, that I can't understand what is being said. I have tried everything from putting the recorder on my professors desk where he lectures to placing the recorder in different spots around the room. I've also put it on the highest sensitivity. Nothing I do works. Go figure. Come to think of it, i am now remembering what the sales man at staples who sold me the recorder said right before I ran my credit card through...." you get what you pay for with these things" and for the 40 dollars I paid for this crappy recorder, that quote could not have rang more true.

I used this recorder for recording class discussions. It picks up people's voices from around the room pretty well. The sound quality isn't perfect, but it's better than an RCA recorder I tried, and for the money, I think it does what it needs to do.
Great capacity for the money! May 3, 2008

I bought my Sony Model ICD-B600 voice recorder today. I found it easy to set up, easy to record on and very easy to play back. The little bugger plays back with plenty of volume. I am going to be using it to record violations as I drive through our HOA on inspections. I'm sure it will be handy for many other things as well.
I'm glad that I checked out the reviews here on Amazon, because the instructions do not tell you to put it on HOLD to save the batteries. The hold button, on the right side, is like an On-Off button.

This is in response to the previous review. Like other versions of Sony voice recorders, this device is turned off by using the "hold" switch. If you turn it off when not in use, the batteries will last much longer. Also, the erase function isn't that problematic. Just press the erase button a couple of times and it should delete the current recording. I found this item to be really useful given the hundreds of hours recording time available.
No on/off, chews batteries; erase function peculiar April 20, 2008

Got this a few days ago. First, I followed instructions to erase one message - it then goes beserk and repeats that message 10 times before erasure. The manual says it does that.
After 48 hours, there is a low battery message on new batteries. I noticed the display is still on. Then, I realized that I did not turn it off. After reading the instructions, and examining the unit, I did not find any instruction for turning off, nor is there any on/off switch.
I explaines this to a friend, and said this must have been designed by Dilbert's engineering team, with the evil Dogbert setting the specs.
Now, I am going to go online to see what else I can find out, or do I just put the unit out of its misery and smash it with a hammer? And don't tell me that if I remove the batteries after each use, it will work OK, that is nuts.
