Voice recorder of the beast!
@ArhcAngel
I wonder if that 666 was intentional...
@Anguigen
That's the first thing I noticed
@Jailbreakjim
That's a good questiom
@Anguigen That's the only thing I saw!
@ArhcAngel
I've always known Sanyo was the devil.
Yeah, Satan skips right past 192kHz and goes to 666kHz that must be soooome fidelity right there. Fill up the storage in like 30seconds!
Satan phone!!!!!!! XD
@The Dead Marxist Trio Actually, the 666 is the number of kHz of AM frequency. In North and South America, the kilohertz of AM is counted by 10s. 1000, 1010, 1020 and so forth. In the rest of the world the kHz of AM is counted by 9s. 721, 730, 739 and so forth. The 666kHz frequency is actually used by the Greek Public Radio as the classical music station. I would have loved to have such a stereo in May 2001 as the government closed a lot of radio stations in the Athens area including the only decent rock station in Athens.The excuse? They interfered with air traffic communication of the new airport. If you believe that... I recorded as much of their last transmission on a boom box with a cassette. A VCR for radio is something that I have seen come and go, but I'll be surprised if it ever is sold outside of Japan. I could sure use one.
@The Dead Marxist Trio
What are you talking about? What's so special about 192kHz? And what does kHz have to do with fidelity?
I'm getting one if i can control my TV with it.
@LloydChiro not so sure I wanna control the tv with 666 frequency on. Talk about "whitenoise"
looks like a phone.
lol, you guys are crazy.
I think this is a bit much of a product though. I have the top-end Olympus DS-71 and its simple to operate, good looking, and the sound quality is so good... its creepy. Not sure why theyre listing it for almost 500 on their site though... I definitely got it for around 120 bucks :0

I bet that sample rate sounds WICKED ... :/
What I've been looking for a long time is for a car-radio with live-pause-rewind features. For that time that you miss a phone or web site you'd like to memorize...
Anyone know if this will have tivo-like features (appart from manualy/schedule recording?
Cuantos?
hmm i should get a recorder to use along with the dslr as the microphone on it sucks monkey balls.
Are there any cheap and decent recorders like this one?
xler8r-I had the DS-50 for a few years and I just upgraded to the DM-520.
Not only does it record and sound great! (or even creepier in your parlance) but it plays MP3s really nice also (will take a Micro SD card to 16GB.
Looks and works about the same as the DS-50/71. The removable microphone has been replaced by a better build-in one.
If it had a build-in AM/FM radio it would be pretty perfect!
........olympus used to make mp3 players that looks just like that right?
