DR-701 is solid and high quality -

That being said, pulling hot AA batteries out after just 50 minutes of operation is a sad engineering oversight - the external power supply using a typical flimsy wall wart and Chinese cheap as can get wire makes one wish for a solid power supply inside the tiny unit with a sturdy standard ac jumper cord to power up.

The menu fails to make the simple 4 track recording option clear - must select "mono" and look at a 1-2 left right 3-4 left right screen as good news - and the mystery 5-6 internal stereo mx down recording intertannl is not clarified if it will accept an external 5-6 from say the PA board. Manual as usual appears to be written in Klingon language by a non-user...the age old problem of cheap poorly written manuals continues...

But for the money it is a great bargain - I love mine and will be using it every week recording live gigs - way to go TASCAM! If you want to make albums of your live gigs or great movie soundtracks this is your affordable solution and extremely lightweight and portable -

I LOVE IT!

Best 4 channels audio recorder

If you are looking for a 4 channels audio recorder when you are in the field, this is an excellent choice. Tascam claims that it is 6 channels, It is not, I called them and talked to them on the phone, it records 4 seperates mic, then combines them and recorder them into 2 more channels, so you cannot have 6 inputs. beside this issue it is a great field recorder with a superb preamp.Read full review...

Great for the $$$

A very decent backup recorder for my mix track, and the price is very nice! The menu functions are really limited, but the most annoying thing is that the takes within the scene numbers do not advance. Overall, it's reliable and cost effective. And it's tiny!Read full review...

I am so happy with this unit. It really shines with quality!!

I used it with a USB power brick and recorded a stereo track for over 4 hours!
