Topic: Any recorders with a manual pause button?

[2manyrocks]

Pause buttons were once pretty standard on all dictation recorders.  I haven't looked at them in so long that I have no clue whether they have pause controls now.

You'd really have to work at it to lose a recording with the PCM-M10 remote.  I know people are worried that it overrides the hold button. But in my so-called real life this just does not happen. It's designed so that you stash the recorder somewhere on hold--even in a pocket--and just deal with the remote, which tells you immediately if you are paused, stopped or recording because it has the red LED on it.

The stop button isn't particularly sensitive--none of them are.   The remote is small and could also be taped to the mic or whatever. And really, this is a voice recording. You don't need the Marantz at twice the price. 

Yes, I remember cassette recorders where you pushed down the mechanical switch and it stayed down. But I doubt anyone is going to build that feature into a digital recorder.

As well as the PMD661/PMD661MK2 the Marantz RC600PMD remote will work with; PMD620/PMD620MK2, PMD671 and the discontinued PMD660.

  well, just thought i'd check back in here and see if there have been any "advances" in pause buttons.  i'm still looking for a separate, discreet pause function on a digital recorder, much like the ones on yesteryear's tape recorders.  man, youd think someone would get on the old-school meets new-school stick one of these days.  has it happened yet?
