thanks for the reinforcement that all is ok. first run with the r09 without a backup last night yielded typical results, I haven't shielded the ridiculous red record light and didn't want to take it out enough to reach the hold button. I lost the second half of the first set of Dave Brubeck (from the 6th row) , the light was flashing when I went to turn it off so it must have hit pause in my bag.
Other than that, this thing is great. Set at 8, used the M2 for levels,sounds great and so small and light.
thanks for starting the FAQ, reading over 50 pages to distill the gems is tough, I hung in on most of Pt1 to the point I wanted one and ordered it from Cascade, but since then...only when I'm stumped.
