Thanks David and Hugh!

David, I can have the owner perform that test as a check, but the machine i=
s far from me. I think it is a parasitic oscillation due to marginal design=
.

Hugh, it isn't my machine. I currently record on a Tascam solid-state recor=
der. Your comment was what I was looking for originally. The problem seems =
to be in the left channel as you indicated.=A0The difficulty is that the ma=
chine is not in warranty, and Olympus service is very dear. The owner canno=
t afford the factory rate and it is high enough to make repair impractical.

I have troubleshot the problem so that the owner might get it repaired at a=
general electronics shop. I would think with some instructions a capable t=
echnician could damp out the oscillation. If it were here, I'd not have a p=
roblem fixing it. The other approach would be to use an external mike and p=
reamp. Is there a miniature system that is decent and inexpensive for bypas=
sing the internal mikes?

Michael,
Could it be coming from a power source?
Are you near a medium wave transmitter? Check that out by putting the
running machine in a metal screen like a large metal pot or saucepan
with a lid.
If the interference is still there it is most likely a fault.

I have had this problem THREE times with two different LS-10s. They
can repair it; it usually is the left channel only. Hope you don't
have to pay for it. Because it will happen again.
Stick with the Sony, my advice.
