My 9 yr old got this as a present for Christmas and has loved programming it. Our only issue is that we can't get it to record any sounds? Has anyone else had this problem and what did you do about it?

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.

I'm not sure about that. I couldn't find a setting for that, just make sure the "Loop Recording" is not set to "Off". Other than that I don't know what the issue might be, sorry.

It doesn't seem to. I just tried it (it hasn't been used for video yet) and there was no sound on playback. It's possible I'm not seeing a control. Of course the sound was there when I played it on the computer.

I understand your frustration with this toy, as we have experienced the same issues... I immediately changed the batteries, which helped, but overall it's just a very cheaply made toy. It still works, several months later, but only when stroked lightly with the stick not by hand. I was expecting more, but in the end, my 3 year old likes it well enough the way it is, so we kept it. She actually played with it just today! Hope this helps.

Can you please recommend me any recording software to use with this? I just don't know any! :-) Thanks!

I have the same problem and unfortunately have not been able to play music from it either. Maybe we can get an answer from the makers on what we might be doing incorrect.

I haven't even been able to get the darn thing to record. The directions are pretty much non-existent. Any tips?

I have the same question, except mine is to be delivered today. Called customer service, but he could only quote the advisory label. He said I check it out and send it back if defective. However, I would like to know what it is, in case it is a defect I will not discover right away. Like the microphone hardware problem mentioned in the reviews. I did notice that the DVD offer to save $10 did not work, but I do not think that would be handled this way.

I haven't had this problem. The problem I had was not having anything come with it telling you how to use it. To me it isn't as easy to use as it is advertised to be but if you can figure it out it does a good job, or it has for us. My husband figured out how to copy karaoke with it also.

Well, I bought mine a few days ago and recorded some voice /guitar at home. The recorder was easy to use and the results sound clean. It is very easy to transfer into my Mac and to burn a CD. However my CD will not play in my Sony sound system and I was very disappointed to find that the CD is only usable in a computer. I am not at all tech savvy and at age 75, I probably never will be. I even put the wav files through a software that changed them to AIFF bu all I get is a loud buzz from my CD player. Does this sound right?

I have been having MAJOR problems getting the red 'rec' button to stop an in-process recording! Often, it doesn't stop at all, and I have to turn the unit off AS IT'S RECORDING!!! VERY ANNOYING.

Happy Birthday, Joey. I don't know, I haven't had that problem with my player. Of course the turn it off and then back on is the first thing to try. Have you heard the songs played OK on your player yet ? Because something might have happened when they were transferred or in the recording itself. Otherwise maybe try different equalizer (EQ) settings.

Yes - I just bought one - got it on Friday, today's Sunday and I hear incessant camera noise and the unit itself just doesn't have loud enough playback. Haven't found a way to increase volume through the editing process.

Hi, actually the Auto / Manual Track button did not work so it wouldn't record. I sent it back. But I am thinking of trying a new one because it really is a nice unit.

I turned off the motion activated setting (I think it's delivered with that setting on) and then set it to record at the maxium 15 min segment. It'll still talk every once and a while, but not nearly as often. After I set it up this way it basically just records continuously ( but it does say 'recording' if a new 15 min segment starts. As far as I can tell there isn't a way to simply turn off that annoying pointless voice that you can't even understand anyway. Hope that helps.
