Hi Brad, The Sony is usable as far as simple operation. You will need someone to help you get the date and time set when you first turn on the machine. Once this is done, you should be able to record and playback with ease. As far as the menus, it is like any non-talking machine, takes quite a lot of memorizing. It has both an input and output volume knob, which is quite nice. I just received mine Saturday, and had my 10 year old help me with setting date and time. He also told me the name of each button and jac. Besides having great recording quality, the moment you plug it in to the USB on the computer, you have access to all of the folders.
Any more questions, let me know.

Hi, Is the Sony machine accessible?

Well, I own the Zoom H2, and can' complain. The Zoom isn't really that accessible, although Neal Ewers has a rather valuable tutorial up at blindcooltech about it. However, if you really want to go for the quality option, I would recommend the Sony PCM D50 (not included in your list, quite expensive, but well worth every cent).

Hello. I'm looking at buying a new voice recorder, as the Olympus DS50 that I currently own is, to sum up in 1 word, useless. I've narrowed down my choices to: The Edirol R09HR, the Zoom H2, or the Zoom H4. Which would people recommend, both from a quality and accessibility standpoint? --Check out my radio and TeamTalk server! http://www.jls-radio.com -- James Scholes E-mail: ja...@jamesscholes.com MSN/Windows Live Messenger: jamesscho...@msn.com AIM: JamesScholes000 Skype: james.scholes Website: http://www.jamesscholes.com Blog: http://www.jamesscholes.com/blog Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/jamesscholes Find me on Facebook!
