This is a great little recorder, the microphones pick up voices very clearly and it records music with outstanding fidelity. There seems to be some confusion about the specs for this model, however. The one I have has no abilitly to manually set record levels, and there is no mention of such ability in the manual or 'help guide'. Sony must have upgraded/changed the specs, because the current ads for this same model say it has the option of manual record levels, which is one reason I chose this model. I am disappointed that my UX533 doesn't have this capability. On the other hand, I got it for a very low price. Maybe the older ones w/o this feature are going for less.

Hi jbr999 — I'm glad to see you're enjoying your ICDUX533! I found some helpful information on the recording level guide:

I hope this helps! -Amanda

I HAVE LOST THE FIRST PART OF 2 DIFFERENT INTERVIEWS AFTER THE RECORDER SHUT OFF. I QUICKLY TURNED IT BACK ON AND COULD NOT FIND THE FIRST PART OF THE RECORDING. I USE THIS FOR CONTRACT WORK AND AM FRUSTRATED THAT I CANT RELY ON THIS RECORDER. MAYBE I AM USING IT WRONGLY. THE RECORDER IS A LITTLE OVER A MONTH OLD.

All my electronics are Sony, TVs, Tablet, Digital Voice Recorder. Had an earlier generation recorder but it was not compatible with my Windows 8, so I purchased the newer one. I use it everyday to do my shopping, etc. It is a wonderful tool to keep in your car to record a thought or a subject you hear on the radio. It is a great means of recording special gatherings and transferring to CDs, I highly recommend this recorder.
