OK now that I've posted that, I am going to bring up the next major problem I am having with this recorder. It looks like Gustav Mahler, and it's called Voltronic.
You are really pushing it with me, trying to limit my freedom of expression, and I will not soon forget this.
Why are you still on this thread, anyway? You're not contributing anything helpful to the discussion. Instead, you jump on here every time someone brings up an issue and call for product recalls or a grand inquisition. Since the Tascam rep isn't here anymore to read those, what's the point, other than your own self-gratification? You know full well that the things you're asking for have zero chance of ever happening. I get the need to vent your frustration, but it's really starting to get old and tired - someone please change the record. Some of us here want to actually talk about using this unit, and to help each other figure things out even when we have had some very serious disagreements (such as Tonedeaf and myself). If you aren't even using the 70D anymore, maybe it's time to move on.
I am not using the DR-70D much anymore because that recorder, and this thread are bumming me out a lot! It's hard to even want to try to make a recording with the piece of junk, when I KNOW that I need to run it as the B-unit due to its lack of reliability. But, that said, do I not have a right to participate in a discussion? Even inject my opinions which are different from yours? No?
I will not "MOVE ON" - especially now that it was suggested by the insufferable Gus.
Deal with me.
