I had the same recorder for 5 months, it failed, the switches are not  
that durable.  I did at first like the ability to use all controls  
without having to page through menus in a small LCD screen, but the  
unit is not that well constructed.  I returned it and bought a Marantz  
PMD-661mkII, so far I am enjoying this recorder.
