5.0 out of 5 stars Panasonic Voice Recorder Makes its way to the Top!, July 26, 2002

This voice voice recorder is the best digital recorder I have ever bought. Previously, I have had a Sony ICD-B25 and A Olympus VN-180. The Panasonic RR-US320 has much better features, better sound quality, and has a USB hookup to your computer (which the other two do not have). This voice recorder is great also because it is small and thin, easy to use, and can store many messages in it. This product is great and I reccomend it to anyone who loves gvreat quality electronics at a low cost.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent voice recorder!, August 30, 2002

This review is from: Panasonic RR-US320 IC Digital Voice Recorder (Office Product)

I purchased this recorder because the microcassette recorder i had been using over the past 6 years bit the dust! Here is how I rate this little marvel.

sound quality 9
features 10
easee of use 8
appearance 10
value 10

recording time in lp mode is 105 minutes... in sp it's 33 minutes... and in hq mode, it's 13 minutes. I use mine in sp mode, because the sound quality is as good as the best microcassette recorder running at it's highest recording speed. I write music, and most of the time when a melody pops into my head I am nowhere near my synthesizer keyboard to play it. so I hum the tune into my RR-US320 recorder so that when I am at my keyboard, i can play the tune and store it in my keyboard memory. For just plain voice recording, lp mode is adequate... though not as clear as sp or hq mode. I am VERY glad I bought this recorder!

2.0 out of 5 stars Clever but gimpy, October 13, 2002

This review is from: Panasonic RR-US320 IC Digital Voice Recorder (Office Product)

Clever deveice easy to use; bought it for purpose of "taping" lectures at University, at 15 min mode sound play back was
good(standard speed)...however i was mislead, at 105 min sound quality was garbled garbage...old 8 track tape sound better with mold on it!
Format size excellent...ease of use was also excellent, however if taping more than 15 min. ( standard speed) look else where.
The product needs more memory to sustain 120 min's, plus of
memory to sustain quality of recording.
However to be useful, this product needs replaceable memory cards..one doesn't have the time to download to a computer with appropriate software to make this device useful.
