Sony Recorder PROBLEM

Using a Sony Personal recorder model ICD-PX720. Has been out of use for several months. When fresh batteries were inserted, and Display/Menu button was held down, nothing happened. Left device sitting around for 20 minutes and when I came back, the screen was flashing the word "ACCESS". Nothing will make this change, go away or turn off except removing the batteries. Do not have the manual.

Hello and welcome to the forums
The instruction manual for your ICDPX720 can be found here:
http://www.docs.sony.com/release/ICDPX720.pdf
information regarding the "Access" message can be found on page 15
if you recorded a particularly long recording of over an hour or more, 20 minutes is not uncommon.

  • Recording problem on my Xi-Fi Fatality?

    'Recording problem on my Xi-Fi Fatality?d So I have a Xi-Fi Fatality, and I would like to be able to record directly from my computer so that it's own output is also the input. For example, if I'm on ventrillo or something and I want to play a funny mp3 to show my friends I'd like to be able for the audio to come directly from the output.
    Anyways, my microphone seems to work fine, and that's where the trouble begins.
    I go to the sound control panel and click on the recording tab. ? It has microphone as the default device and it says "working."
    There are also options for "Auxillary" "Line-In" "Digital-In" and "What U Hear"
    However, under each of them it says "currently unavailable"
    I am unable to get any of them to function even when I set them to the default device.
    Is this normal?

    + It's funny you should post this because I came here right now to post the exact same thing. I would have posted earlier but I forgot my account information and had to wait to get a reply email.
    So... same here (yes I know this was no help).
    Actually this is kind of weird. Every now and then my "Aux 2" will become available and my mic is not. I have to restart my computer 4 or 5 times for my mic to become available.

  • Record Store only reads one record problem

    I have a problem where I can read and write a record to a records store, but i can not do this for multiple records as i am trying with below code. Any help is very welcomes thank you, I am very new to J2ME.
    I have a J2ME midlet that calls the startRecordStore() method which create a record 1.
    It uses a static int records and it increments it every time a new recordstore is created, well I am not entirely sure if i need to do this. Because I want to go through all the records created.
    public void startRecordStore() {
         // Incremenets records count
         // Temporary example for this workshop only
         records+=1;
         try { rs = RecordStore.openRecordStore("StudentStore"+records+"", true);
         catch (Exception err) {
              Alert alr = new Alert("Error Creating", err.toString(), null, AlertType.WARNING);
              alr.setTimeout(Alert.FOREVER);
              display.setCurrent(alr);
    }Then it calls the readData() method which reads the data from the 3 fields, something like this
    for(int i=0;i<count;i++) {
              ods.writeUTF(ReadDataString);
              ods.writeUTF(ReadDataString[i+1]);
              ods.writeInt(ReadDataInt[i]);
              ods.flush();
              // Put the whole write stream to a byte
              ReadDataByte = os.toByteArray();
              // finally add the fetchDataType to to a record store
              rs.addRecord(ReadDataByte, 0, ReadDataByte.length);
         os.reset();
         os.close();
         ods.close();
    Then the WriteData() method is called displaying the records
    PROBLEM it only displays the last record, instead of more then one record.
    eg. StudentStore1, StudentStore2 etc etc ..
    // create record enumerator referrence to the instance
         re = rs.enumerateRecords(null,null,false);
         // go through each records using enumerator
         while(re.hasNextElement()) {
              rs.getRecord(re.nextRecordId(), ReadInputData, 0);
              buffer.append(ids.readUTF());
              buffer.append("\n");
              buffer.append(ids.readUTF());
              buffer.append("\n");
              buffer.append(ids.readInt());
              buffer.append("\n");
              Alert alr = new Alert("Currently Reading", buffer.toString(), null, AlertType.WARNING);
              alr.setTimeout(Alert.FOREVER);
              display.setCurrent(alr);
         // CLOSE INPUT STREAM
         is.close();Any idea thanks guys

    public void startRecordStore() {
        records+=1;
        try {
            rs = RecordStore.openRecordStore("StudentStore"+records+"", true);
        }Are you sure this is what you want to do?
    I don't know where you're calling startRecordStore(), but you're creating a new record store for each "records".
    Shouldn't you be just opening the record store "StudentStore", and them adding records to that store?

  • Audio recording problem in Cap 5

    I have used earlier Captivate editions a great deal and never had audio recording problems.  I am getting a weak scratchy audio recording.  I have tried in Vista, Win 7 and with multiple microphones.  What can be the problem?

    Joe,
    Unfortunately, you have posted to the Premiere forum. This was the precursor to PrPro. The MOD's will probably move this out to the PrPro forum, so more folk will see it and can respond.
    Now, did you use a USB mic? Many have had issues with those.
    Also, going back about a year, there was a similar thread, and the description was about the same - "chipmunk." I do not recall the flow of that thread, or the resolution, but will try to find it. I just hope that it was not before the forum changeover, as it is likely gone forever.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    [Edit] OK, I think that this is the THREAD.

  • Audio Recording Problem - distorted

    Hey all,
    I got an audio recording problem here...
    When I try to record audio onto my project, the sounds is very poor and distorted. Plus, there is a pretty ugly delay. But when I use garageband, the sound is great and how it should be. So this makes me think that Logic has some sort of problem with my driver (Firebox) or somethin'.
    Here's my Setup
    -imac G5
    -Logic Pro 7.2 (Bought just a few days ago)
    -Presonus Firebox (audio interface)
    -Condensor Mic
    Cheers!

    Hi,
    It is possible that your FireBox is not the audio card set up in Logic, and that you are accidentally recording the built-in mic.
    If Garageband is seeing your FireBox corrctly, then it is the setup in Logic, and nothing else, that you should be looking at.
    Check your audio hardware and drivers.
    Cheers

    Need help please I'm new to this forum... I have been having a few problems with my recordings like others I try to play back programme I have recorded and get nothing and also trying to delete a programme I'm getting a message to say I can't delete as the programme may be running on another box!!! I only have 1 box!!! I have tried all the rebooting fixes but no joy... I have an old white style hh... Is this or the box tired and in need of replacing??? I've also checked the settings and I'm online and have space on my disk!!! Help

    We have had the same problem, which is really frustrating!!
    The box appears to be recording but when the programme is played back, it stops during the programme and goes to the resume play on the menu or sometimes the channel isn't there, its just a black screen, I'm thinking of going to Sky if it carries on, getting really fed up now!!!

    Please check these possible solutions for your Sony Recorder. Thanks. -Joffrey 
    The battery is weak.
    The battery has been inserted with incorrect polarity.
    The power of the IC recorder is off.
    Slide and hold the HOLD•POWER switch in the direction of “POWER” until the window display appears. The power is turned on.

  • Stereo Audio Record problem (While recording video as well)

    Hi,
    I just just bought Sony Xperia C3 dual yesterday. I'm having problem with audio recording. I installed the Sony audio recorder from Google play store but while recording in stereo mode with it the gain suddenly drops after 1/2 second(s). Same problem while recording a video with stock camera app as well, video quality is fine but the audio with it is,just worst. Tried third party app like regorge pro but faced the same problem. Tried disabling the AGC with it, but no good. Recording in mono mode just works fine and I get clear record.
    Any solution?
    Thanks.

    @uliwooly  This one i recorded today morning. The audio starts good & clear at the begining but just after one second it drops & then you can hear the bus engine sounds like waterfall. Here is the youtube link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5H1jNxyYMlw Here's another video uploaded by a review site with the same problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3vKwydfN6U & more from youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GLLj2ommP4  then i used a third party audio recorder with mic switch option https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6d4uAEZFRE as usual with the rear mic the gain suddenly drops after second & you can hear some weird sounds like a "movie bomb" sound at 00:04, "rattle snake" sound at 00:05 & 00:12 & with the front mic starts at 00:17 you can hear the difference. It's mono but so clear & sharp.  Finally, as i dont have the mic swith option while recording video, all videos i record will have the same problem. This is definitely not  the typical "sony" thing to carry on.

  • Sony Handycam Problem

    Last week I bought a sony dcr-dvd403 to videotape my daughter's first birthday party, which is now tomorrow!!!
    It is a mini DVD, not a mini DV. The recording and finalizing go fine. The video plays on the camera. Then, I load the disc into the top loading drive I bought specifically to load the mini discs on my computer, and boom - just a bunch of files the computer can't open... The file extensions are .BUP, .IFO, AND .VRO.
    I think the .VRO is the one where the video footage resides. Does anyone know how to convert it. After hours on the phone with sony (who doesn't promise that the discs will play in anything other than the camera itself) says to call Apple. Apple, said to check the discussion boards. You guys are my only hope! Thanks,
    Liz

    I picked this up from a "dvspot" article by Jim Keller, and have used it successfully. By the way, I have abandoned my Sony mini-DVD camera and bought the new HD-HC1 high def camcorder because it records to digital video tape and has Firewire output, which avoids this problem. Keller's solution:
    "So how do you extract the video? On my Mac, I used a program called OpenShiiva, an open source VOB-to-MPEG4 converter (there are other products like this out there). This turned the 13 VOB files into 13 MP4 files, which may be as far as some people need to go. However, Final Cut has no interest in reading these, so I had to open the MP4 files in QuickTime, and export them into DV format. Then I was able to import them into Final Cut, where they still needed to be split up into separate clips. I should add that Final Cut can read VOB files, but the sound does not get imported for some reason.
    To tie things back into what I said much earlier, these DVD camcorders seem to be a "shoot and watch" system. Shoot, maybe delete a few things (assuming you're using the DVD-RW discs), and finalize. Serious video editors may want to steer clear of DVD camcorders because of all these added steps."
    Amen.

    Sorry to hear that you have issues playing videos.
    I recommend that you first try to repair the software in your tablet using a computer and PC Companion or Bridge for Mac: http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/xperiatabletz/software/ but please note that this will delete all data on your tablet.
    If the issue should still remain I think that this needs to be examined and fixed at a repair center. For more information about how to submit your tablet for repair and where, contact your local support team.

  • Duplicate records problem

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having a a little difficulty resolving a problem with a repeating field causing duplication of data in a report I'm working on, and was hoping someone on here can suggest something to help!
    My report is designed to detail library issues during a particular period, categorised by the language of the item issued. My problem is that on the sql database that out library management system uses, it is possible for an item to have more than one language listed against it (some books will be in more than one language). When I list the loan records excluding the language data field, I get a list of distinct loan records. Bringing the language data into the report causes the loan record to repeat for each language associated with it, so if a book is both in English and French, it will cause the loan record to appear like this:
    LOAN RECORD NO.     LANGUAGE CODE
      123456                             ENG
      123456                             FRE
    So, although the loan only occurred once I have two instances of it in my report.
    I am only interested in the language that appears first and I can exclude duplicated records from the report page. I can also count only the distinct records to get an accurate overall total. My problem is that when I group the loan records by language code (I really need to do this as there are millions of loan records held in the database) the distinct count stops being a solution, as when placed at this group level it only excludes duplicates in the respective group level it's placed in. So my report would display something like this:
    ENG     1
    FRE      1
    A distinct count of the whole report would give the correct total of 1, but a cumulative total of the figures calculated at the language code group level would total 2, and be incorrect. I've encountered similar results when using Running Totals evaluating on a formula that excludes repeated loan record no.s from the count, but again when I group on the language code this goes out of the window.
    I need to find a way of grouping the loan records by language with a total count of loan records alongside each grouping that accurately reflects how many loans of that language took place.
    Is this possible using a calculation formula when there are repeating fields, or do I need to find a way of merging the repeating language fields into one field so that the report would appear like:
    LOAN RECORD     LANGUAGE CODE
      123456                      ENG, FRE
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as aside from this repeating language data there are quite a few other repeating database fields on the system that it would be nice to report on!
    Thanks!

    if you create a group by loan
    then create a group by language
    place the values in the group(loan id in the loan header)
    you should only see the loan id 1x.
    place the language in the language group you should only see that one time
    a group header returns the 1st value of a unique id....
    then in order to calculate avoiding the duplicates
    use manual running totals
    create a set for each summary you want- make sure each set has a different variable name
    MANUAL RUNNING TOTALS
    RESET
    The reset formula is placed in a group header report header to reset the summary to zero for each unique record it groups by.
    whileprintingrecords;
    Numbervar  X := 0;
    CALCULATION
    The calculation is placed adjacent to the field or formula that is being calculated.
    (if there are duplicate values; create a group on the field that is being calculated on. If there are not duplicate records, the detail section is used.
    whileprintingrecords;
    Numbervar  X := x + ; ( or formula)
    DISPLAY
    The display is the sum of what is being calculated. This is placed in a group, page or report footer. (generally placed in the group footer of the group header where the reset is placed.)
    whileprintingrecords;
    Numbervar  X;

  • RESULT RECORDING PROBLEM

    Dear Gurus,
    I am facing problem I have maintained formula for paricular MIC,e.g Zn-for this MIC i have to calculate the percantage as 100 minus balance of the remaining MICs eg i  have maintained in this form--1
    100-(C9010C9020C9030C9040C9050C9060C9070C9080C9090)
    Please note i have maintain the folowing parameters in control indicators for the MICs from 10 to 90 in the Inspection plan
    1) Sampling procedure
    2) Required chara
    3) single results
    4) Fixed scope
    5)Record measured values
    6)print
    7) documentation
    and only for the MIC which formula is maintain i have maintained CAL CHAR.
    when i creat a purchase and do migo an inpsection lot is gnerated.
    when go to t.code QA32 to record results in RECORD RESULTS CHARACTERISTICS OVERVIEW
    I HAVE NOTICED THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS
    1) FORMULA IS NOT BEEN CALCULATED.
    2)INSPECTED COLCUMN NEXT TO SINGLE VALUE IS AN INPUT SCREEN.i.E-Number of Inspected Sample Units--(WHAT I MEAN ITS NOT GREY FEILD-THE VALUES HERE SHOULD BE 1 AND GREY )
    3)ALSO THE SINGLE VALUE TAB IS GREY NOT USUAL-IF CLICK ON IT THE TAB DROP DOWN.
    I HAVE RUN THIS SCENRIO IN MY DEVELOPMENT SERVER AND IT WORKED PREFECTLY,BUT MY CLIENT SERVER I AM GETTING THIS PROBLEM
    WHAT ARE SETTING I AM MISSING.
    Regards
    Ram
    Edited by: RAMKUMAR WARIYAR on Feb 24, 2009 4:41 PM

    Dear Ram
    1) As the sample size was 1 system was taking this as Summarised recording & that is the reason why the system is showing 3 tabs instead 4
    2) Please do the following setting in Config : SPRO>QM> Basic Setting> maintain setting for plant level>Plant> Result recording  > untick Summ. Recording n=1.
    If you had ticked this means that the results recording will always be summarized if n = 1 (for example when inspecting one unit or 1 ml).
    please do check now whether the formula is working for a new lot and you have 4 tabs in RR
    Was a good question to solve
    Regards

  • TV@nywhere Master Recording Problems

    The TV@nywhere Master works fine for viewing, but I can't record without problems.  There is a sound problem with all available versions of WinDVR.  The recorded sound regularly "warbles" or pulsates. It is detectable when a musical tone is playing, otherwise it may be hard to hear. It is very annoying once you pick up on it.  Other interVideo programs WinProducer and WinDVD Recorder exhibit the same problem.
    I tried PowerVCR and I get an error message when attempting to record in MPEG2:
    S0009 : Unable to render preview video stream.
    I have all the latest drivers and software versions. I even tried a clean install of Windows several times and a different sound card, but no luck. I'm getting nowhere with tech support. Very frustrating.
