From the Manufacturer

The RCA RP5120 Digital Voice Recorder can be used at lectures and seminars or it can be used to simply record important day-to-day notes. With 256 MB of built-in flash memory, you can record up to up to 104 hours digital audio. It comes with an easy-to-see LCD screen that shows the time, low battery indicator, and recording countdown. This unit also comes with USB connectivity, a feature that allows for file transfers to a PC for easy archiving. Voice recorder features include automatic voice-activated recording (AVR), and you can even choose from multiple playback speeds so you can listen to your recorded files at your own pace. Easily identify the date and time a recording was made with the date/time stamp.

This recorder works so much better than higher priced models. I primarily use mine for paranormal investigations and this recorder is very dependable and super easy to use. Transferring files to a computer is also very easy. It was shipped out extremely fast. Definitely recommend

Bad File Format, UNUSABLE files are randomly produced on this recorder.

In my case the most important College lectures!

Thought it was associated with recording length, which would have at least provided a workaround, but no. It's random.

You have been warned.

The system won't allow me to upgrade the star rating - too bad. My initial review was negative. I thought the recorder had too low sensitivity for lecture recording. Later I read the manual more carefully, and found a CONF setting. Now it records in open spaces loud and clear! I recommend this unit, ignore the star rating I gave it earlier.

4.0 out of 5 stars RCA PD5120 DIGITAL VOICE RECORDER
Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2008

I bought three of these things to go with dual channel wireless mics for local historical society to better do oral histories. For this purpose, the recorder works very well with my PRETTY EXPENSIVE Azden dual channel camcorder mic system. So far, I haven't found a compatible dual channel mic system at a price that I'd be willing to donate three of. I'm still looking.

Regarding the PD5120 itself, I have three reservations that prevented me from giving a full five stars:

1. The owner's "manual" is printed in such small type that it defies even full sighted people from reading it.

2. A search of the internet reveals no downloadable manual that could be read by enlarging on computer screen. This has apparently been the concern of other buyers for there are a number of email requests floating around asking if anyone knew where such a manual could be located.

3. With moderate macular degeneration, I am not a "full sighted" individual. Reading the tiny screen, even with a magnifying glass, is just about impossible for me. This is, of course, a problem which is not unique to the 5120. It seems that in competition for sales, ALL manufacturers seem to think that tinier is better. Tough for older folks like me.

I bought the 5120 because it seemed to have fewer control options, less buttons to learn to push, etc. I'd still like to find something even much more simple for the uninitiated volunteers that would use the device. If anyone knows of a digital recorder that has only one file folder, only play, pause and stop for control and exterior mic input jack, headphone jack and maybe a USB connection to quickly download a recording, I would like to know of it. OTHERWISE, I think the 5120 was a good buy for the money.

Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2018
It works if all you want to do is record files and listen to them by ear later on. If you have an apple computer, you will not be able to upload your files and save them.
