Hi. This is Isabelle. My son finally got home and he dug out the robot and manual. He hadn't played with it since his grandson moved to New York! Here's the sequence of commands he gave me: hit the ON button, hit right arrow, hit enter, right arrow, enter,enter, record, (input what ever speech you want), hit save, (red light flashes), hit enter. That should do it. If it doesn't work, let me know.

My son Ed, an engineer, helped the 5 year old with getting it to work. I just called him and he said that the manual tells you how, but not quite all you need to know! (Typical manual!) He said that you have to push a button, then a sub-button to get it recording but he didn't remember the exact steps. The child just moved to New York, (we're in CA), and I don't know if we have the manual, or of it went with him. Ed said that he'll look for it. If we still have it, I'll get exact instructions and get back to you.

I don't have that problem. I just have a problem with it not recording sound. The video is great, doesn't have blurry issues, I just can't get audio recording. But other than that, it's a good video.

Mine has options in the menu for loop recording ("off", "3 min", "5 min", and "10 min"). I have it set to "off". When full it displays an icon that indicates that it's recording over the old footage, but when I go to play back the latest recording it isn't available. I pulled the card to check it on my laptop and

Idk I never got the thing to work long enough to record. Kodak could not help so I returned it. Good luck!

Not sure, it is of lesser quality than I expected. Sound system wouldn't be very good for recording if it did have the option. It is more for juvenile use where they don't care how it sounds.

Btw... On mine the menu option to turn audio on/off didn't get rid of the voice. I assumed it turned of the mic for recording audio. Maybe mines gotta bug... I donno. Or maybe I'm just an idiot ;)

I haven't tried that yet. I would like to know myself. And also what the yellow icon is below the headphone and microphone jacks. If it does record properly (in stereo) email me at halsmithnauvoo@gmail.com. As a fellow-owner, we have to help each other out.

I haven't figured that out yet. My problem is I haven't read the instructions. I like things that are fairly simple, turn on play or record. I will be taking the time on my time off this week to figure it out. Sorry I do not have an answer for you. V/R Jackie

Can't help you. Mine didn't even play and record button broke right away. Sent it back.

I purchased this turntable and am having nothing but issues trying to get it to just play, I have Windows Vista, a brand new HP with the dual chips? Did you have similar issues? Were you able to get anything resolved? Thank you It plays for a short time then Pyro says Audio Stopped? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

What is the nature of your question? Are you going to buy one or do you already own one?The one I have does not seem to be able to record. I have tried several times and failed in every case. The unit apparently has recording software that can be accessed but not engaged. I think I hear a hard drive spinning... It could be a lack of ability on my part but I don't think so. There have been computers, digital cameras and assorted other electronic gadgets in my life for 15 years. - Lars

Thanks again david.I remember reading some of the flash based camcorders record on .MOD files, which are somewhat hard to work with.This will be my first camcorder purchase in a long while (my last was a sony digital-8...), so your advice is well needed and appreciated.

Mine was purchased as a gift so haven't had experience with the new version. Sounds like a defective unit. Don't think they are consumer fixable.

Hi John, if I recall after getting it for my niece it doesn't have the record or playback button. That would have been a nice feature. Looks like you can upload music but, not record. Here is a link from Wowwee describing everything it does, etc: http://www.wowwee.com/en/support/paper-jamz-pro-mics Hope this helps and Happy Holidays.

Really, Rebecca, I wouldn't suggest purchasing this. We had our first one, and the display stopped working very early on, so I thought maybe the battery was bad. When I went to try to change it, there was a mini spark or something shorted. I called the company and sent it in after which they did replace it at no charge. However, we never found it precise in terms of being able to determine sound levels. We used it for voice, and it just went all over the place with no ability to control it in any way. Sorry to sound so negative, but that's what happened to us. I think it would probably measure levels but not with any great precision.

The recorder is a piece of trash. Mine worked exactly once. I can't believe Sony actually put their name on it. Look elsewhere if you need something you can rely on.
