vote in the poll.

are you certain you're saving the time upon exiting the menu?

I bought a new M10 two month ago in France, no problem with the clock.

I bought my PCM-M10 from Musician's Friend back in December 2009 and it hasn't skipped a beat. In fact, I'm still running on the first pair of lithium AA's. At any rate, I've put it to the test by removing the batteries for a week and after reinstalling the batteries, the clock was still intact.

The poll is hardly a fair one and to better determine how massive this issue may be, it should also have the option of "No, my unit is fine from day one."

At any rate, for those of you experiencing this problem, good luck with resolving it. Hopefully it's still too minor an issue to overshadow the real benefits of this recorder. Perhaps I should look for a screen protector for it as well even though it's still in pristine nick.

This is going to sound odd (and excuse my ignorance btw) but would there be any way to protect the M10's internal mics from high SPL's?

Not certain no.
I am not given an option to save it.

Once the date is entered (pushing the play button to move from Year>Month>Day>Hour>Minute>)
and pushing play after the last input, it goes directly to the record screen as expected.

There was no SAVE option.

Does yours ask you if you want to SAVE?

That might be part of the problem here....

hmm- that's interesting..

it would be interesting to see if the machine was powered down and the batteries removed (card not ejected) and then replaced whether it would also revert to internal memory as a precaution.

I think it just knows (even when it is apparently "off") that the card has been ejected and has this feature built in as a failsafe...

In addition to this...what happens if there is a power failure during recording ? Do you lose everything ? Or does anything gets saved once it is recorded ?
I am asking because I am switching from HI MD to something else. I have had 3 power failures on 3 different recorders. And everytime there is a failure I have lost the entire recording. The last time it happened ten minutes before a concert was over and I lost a 2 hour show. So I am fed up with Minidisc now.
Also does the MZ RH1 remote works on this recorder aswell ?

Thanks for the info :)
But I have to say, I don’t mind it. I do object when I see people sticking microphones up my nose, in the front row. If I see anyone doing that [laughs] I’m going to have security remove them. Because that’s just obnoxious. But I don’t mind if people come and discreetly at the back make a recording of it. And I know that it’s just for their own use, for the superfan.

No, the remote socket is different.

To save the time after entering the date you must push STOP to save.

I just attempted it a few more times, and hitting stop is not an option here.
After entering the date and time you must hit the PLAY button to advance.
It goes right to the record window, apparently without saving.

If a handful of people have reported the issue here I doubt it is user error.

Misinfomation.  The 'stop' button CANCELS the setting.  The play button saves the setting.

what I've seen on mine is if there is a file on either the internal memory card or the card slot memory card the time will be displayed

if both of the cards are empty, the time will not display until a recording is started

YMMV :)

Hopefully this is the right place to ask this:

I've avoided the M10 because of the annoying tiny memory card I'd have to buy which jacks the price up almost another $100.

What are the best bets for a card for one of these and how much should I expect to pay?

Thanks for any help,
