Just got my replacement DR-70D back today and signed for it. They supposedly replaced it for a new unit...NOT!
I open the outer box to find an already opened TASCAM box with only the recorder in it and the manual, nothing else. On top of that, the screen is covered with surface scratches and the bottom rubber pad looks like someone went at it with a pen knife.
All I can say is that if you need to have this unit repaired, just throw it out and buy a new one. You will get better satisfaction than dealing with their service center.
TASCAM service is 100% CRAP!
I know you all are very happy with your DR-70D's, however I wouldn't trust sending it back to them at all, as now I am looking at the refund of which B&H is backing me on.
TASCAM really didn't give a fuck about the fact that they sent a used recorder back to me after they told me it was being replaced with a 100% new model.
The screen is so scratched that you can't see the levels accurately if there is a glare on the screen from lighting in a room or the sun.
Uhg...I am the one and lonely Tascam DR-70D user that will never stand behind this product. Sorry to be a downer!
