Hello, I don't disagree with what's been said about the h 1 recorder. I own and h 4 which I paid 100 dollars for, bought from a friend. The built-in mikes ard really excellent! If there's an objection to them it is that the stereo image is narrower than I like, but there is stereo.
There is no record level control. Rather, there is a 3-position mike attenuator. I found that the middle position (least attenuation) is great for all sorts of recording. I usually take its sd card and put it into my computer and edit my work using Goldwave. It is no problem if the levels are sometimes low; I just maximize the volume with the proper Goldwave tool. If all you wish to do is record using the internal mikes, you don't need to concern yourself with menus. Just turn on the unit, wait 30 seconds, and then press the record button twice. To end a recording, press the top of the joystick. Pressing it again will begin playback through the headphones. The noise is so low that I can happily ignore it. I often use external condenser mikes which require 48 volts. This does require dipping a toe into the menus but it's absolutely easy. I've never come to grief here. I can explain that to anyone who needs the info. There is no line in jacks. These's a way to use the XL connectors but I do not know how to set them up; it is not necessary for my particular needs. Just in case someone cares, I've dabled in audio since 1946 and earlier.
