am I the first to have noticed this, or did I miss it? It's posted in the first post of parts 1-4 of this thread...
From the EU tascam website http://www.tascam.eu/en/dr-70d.html
QUICK button allows easy access to various functions
My DR-70D lacks a button with the label "QUICK"
A search of the DR-70D reference manual does not even have the word "Quick" in it.
Pretty obvious that's a misprint and they mean MENU.
Here are two more misprints on the features listed two lines above and two lines below that one:
- A new file can be created during recording
...
- Equalizers for playback, and level alignment function to enhance the perceived overall sound pressure
The first one should say: "will automatically create a new file every 2GB". As for the second one: what equalizers for playback???
Besides these errors, some of the other features are not clearly stated. The EU product page is poorly put together and looks like it wasn't given any attention after it was created. They don't even have a full specifications listing - no gain levels, etc. In contrast, the USA page for the 70D is much cleaner, more complete, and has significantly different language used to describe the features.
The EU site also has the old Reference Manual from December 2014; the new one has been on the USA site since August 25 of this year.
Finally, check out the very bottom of the EU 70D page:

That's the same date the suspect media list on that site was posted. (Remember that 02.03.2015 means 2nd of March, 2015 in European parlance.)
Take all of this together, and I think it's getting more and more plausible that someone was careless and posted the wrong media list in their downloads section. If Tascam has something to answer for regarding the 70D, I think it's the false information on the EU site.
