OMG, get this:
The trashcan page lists this as an official "option" for the DR70D (which DOES have a mini-jack REMOTE input on the left side!):
http://tascam.com/product/rc-10/it looks like it enables playback of either pair JUST LIKE I WAS JUST ASKING!??!
RC-10 is a wired remote control for TASCAM DR-40 handheld recorder.
Damn.....if I knew I wouldn't brick my unit I would load that 60 firmware to my 70.......wonder if it would restore the monitor functionality or brick the unit....
Try renaming it and seeing if it takes it?!
Please don't drive industry people away, even if they act poorly.
Tell me more.
I guess it's on the consumer to pussy-foot around the international conglomerate so we don't piss off the one person who deigns to attempt to cut through their corporate BS? Hah. Tools and toadies.
It costs them money to make fixes, even if they are in other recorders. I'm not saying any of the features you want wouldn't be useful or an improvement, but I also think the 70D is good enough for what you paid.
Thanks for hanging out with me at work while I made the money I spent on the deck. Thanks also for investigating my receipt file so you can say that.
You guys had a Tascam rep here as a conduit and you drove him off. He may have been a bit thin skinned for TS, but his reaction was pretty normal (IMO) for the real business world. Maybe an organized campaign will make your voice be heard, but I suggest you make sure not make it an angry, insulting one. Not that you have, but when people start talking about sending certified letters and expecting (demanding?) a response, I think the campaign is being set up to be a disappointment.
My BBB claim not only demanded a response, but yielded the OFFICIAL APPROVED CARD LIST that we all must rely on until it is updated again!?! (hah!)

I think it's TOTALLY fair to talk about certified letters and even poison frog darts on this discussion forum (see northern midwest team board, a couple years ago, it was a recurring theme as a possibility to silence talkers near the mics!?!!!) Doesn't mean you have to do it, and it doesn't reflect on YOU if someone else does. Paranoid lately? :-p
