Product Description

Olympus Pearlcorder S713 microcassette recorder comes with voice activation so you can utilize it "hands-free" if desired. It also features fast play mode for playback that's 25% faster, and external jacks for headphones, earphones, and AC power.

Amazon.com Product Description

Whether you're recording a class lecture, an interview, or a grocery list, the Olympus Pearlcorder S713 performs the task with gusto. Though it's not as powerful or feature packed as Olympus's line of digital voice recorders, the S713 microcassette recorder is outfitted with all the basics, including voice activation, fast playback, and multiple tape speeds. As a result, the device is a great choice for people who want reliable voice recording without all the extra bells and whistles.

The Pearlcorder S713 is compatible with standard 60- and 90-minute microcassettes, though it also offers a second speed that extends the total recording time to three hours (on a 90-minute tape). Meanwhile, the voice activation mode makes it easy to record while performing other tasks. When activated, the variable-control voice actuator waits until it hears a sound to start recording, and then shuts off during a prolonged period of silence. In the interim, users can take notes or wield a camera without missing any footage or capturing a bunch of dead air.

Users will also dig the fast playback mode, which runs 25 percent faster than regular mode. It's particularly helpful should you need to speed up a slow talker or scan the recording for a specific passage. Along the same vein, the quick review function lets you hear the footage you've just recorded. And, of course, the built-in tape counter helps you locate important audio anywhere else on the microcassette.

Other features include cue/review buttons for fast and easy message monitoring; a built-in microphone for recording anytime, anywhere; jacks for an external microphone, earphones, and an AC adapter; and a built-in dynamic speaker that produces crystal-clear playback. The Pearlcorder S713, which runs for roughly 17 hours on a pair of AA batteries, measures 2.3 by 4.8 by 1 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a 90-day warranty.

Don't purchase!! .......2007-08-28

I am a writer and I decided to get a new micro recorder for work. I prefer tapes to digital so I went with the Olympus pearlcorder. I used the product, everything recorded fine and clear. However, my headphones don't fit in the headphone jack! I've tried four sets to include my Ipod headphones and nothing fits! I'm not sure what, if any, size headphones would fit, but I am EXTREMELY disappointed in this product.

Very good sound and features.......2006-08-11

I've had an Olympus Pearlcorder S713 for several years now. It has many features hard to find on new recorders. It has red LED to signal recording, a 3-digit tape counter, jacks for external headphone and microphone, auto stops at end of tape. Also has dual recording speeds and voice activated recording. I don't notice any tape noise while using internal microphone. The only caveat is that it's a microcassette. But still, the sound quality is even good for recording a little singing (in my opinion).

Great Value for that price.......2007-09-07

This Olympus recorder has a great sound quality. I used it with a attached microphone and it showed great results also on playback.

Great Value +++++

Disappointing for sure.......2003-02-09

The tape recorder did a poor job with picking up sound. The sound on the microcassette recorder was muffled and didn't do a good job picking sounds in a classroom, especially if the speaker is using a microphone. If you are looking for a top of the line recorder, I strongly recommend going with Sony

decent sound, but poor fit........2002-05-28

The confort of these headphones is about on par with any generic low-end headphones from other brands. The sound is ok overall, with pretty clear highs and good bass for the price, however the fit of these headphones do not really hold the ear pieces on the ear snugly enough to isolate the sound. This causes a lot of the bass to leak out and you end up with a slightly muffled sound lacking bass, but if you hold the ear pieces snugly on the ears you will hear that the drivers on these headphones aren't bad for the price, but oh well.

They are ok, but could do better........2002-05-25

The drivers on these headphones actually put out decent quality sound for the price, however, they just do not compare with the sound quality of similarly priced koss portable headphones (ie, ksc-50, ktx-pro, ksc-55). One of the major problems with these headphones is that the angle of the speakers is a little awkward and they don't really fit snugly on the ears so much of the sound is lost. If the headband kept the drivers snug to the ear these would be considerably better, but still not as good as the ktx-pro.

Solid card with quirky install..........2000-11-16

SMC's low-end EZConnect 10 (1208) is a Combo card with an RJ-45, ThinNet, and ThickNet connectors. The chipset is made by RealTek, which speaks for this SMC's low price. PnP Installation into Windows reads as a RealTek, yet SMC instructions say to add specific SMC driver on top of existing Realtek(?)drivers. Subsequent install is painless and configuration is set default to "Autosense" for simple Point-and-Shoot networking.

Product Description

SMC's EZ Card 10 PCI and ISA network cards are among the most affordable on the market today. And, they couldn't be easier to use. The 32-bit PCI cards are fully auto-configurable upon power-up through the host computer's BIOS setup program. The 16-bit ISA cards, when installed in PnP (Plug and Play) computers, are ready to go as soon as you are. These cards are NE2000-compatible and ship with drivers for most popular network operating systems. The drivers are avail-able on SMC's installation diskette or Web site. Also, the cards have an on-board socket for an optional boot ROM. You can choose from three different models of each card type (six models total): 10BASE-T cards with RJ-45 connectors for twisted-pair cable; 2-port combo cards with BNC connectors for thin coax cable and RJ-45 connectors; and 3-port combo cards with BNC, RJ-45 and AUI connectors. As with all SMC products, the EZ Card 10 models are backed by SMC's Customer Satisfaction Guarantee. They come complete with a 30-day money back guarantee, a limited lifetime warranty and free technical support. Whenever you purchase SMC products, you can always be sure you are getting superior quality, reliability and value.

Customer Reviews:

Big Problems.......2003-01-23

Oh, great. I get my Rio 600 / 32mb and add this 64mb backpack and now after 3 weeks the thing "quits working". Now I've had this player for over a year and it has been very good. Yes I've updated the software (1.55) and tried all the other tricks listed on the web... No go.... Now I read were I'm not the only person to run into this problem....

Won't ship to England?.......2002-11-13

Great. So it's offered at $$$ but "can't be shipped outside the US". Is this bloody-mindedness or down to the fact that the charger would launch itself into space with our UK 230 volt supply voltage? (Who cares - I can buy a cheap charger here).

My alternative is to buy a "Backpack" from Amazon UK. But wait - it's only a 32Mb unit and the cost is *twice* that of the 64Mb unit!

Nah. I think I'll just buy a cheap Taiwanese MP3 player and trash this American junk. That seems to be the way the world is going.

Less than fair.......2002-08-15

Apparently, Sonicblue discontinued making this backpack for some time because it had a lot of problems-- the many serious issues were supposedly fixed.

Calibration worked easy. The only problem was the supposed 'charging lamp' didnt go on, which created a lot of confusion.

After calibration and testing, I had the battery drained and charged it up (because I thought the lamp didnt turn on because the battery was full)--It didnt go on. Battery level is entirely innacurate, and the mandatory rechargable battery doesnt last nearly as long as the ones I used before.

The only positive thing is that it works

With its bad history, my suggestion would be to buy a player from a reliable brand or one with better reviews.

Unbelievably bad history.......2002-06-18

I had the older 64 meg backpack. It worked very poorly with my RIO 800, but worked fine with my Rio 600. So I gave the 800 to a kid who didn't mind charging it immediately before every use.

I have two Rio 600's for audible.com. If it weren't for audible.com books compatiability I'd use only my Nomad IIC.

I bought one of the new 64 meg backpacks for my other rio 600. It worked great for about a week and then it died in mid sentence. Now the charger won't even turn its red light on.

But my older backpack still works fine on a 600 and with the new charger that came with the newer backpack.

The two backpacks (old and new) have different part numers, old one ending in dash 001 and the new one in dash 010. So there's some attempt at product improvement on the part of Sonic Blue, but they never let us know what they are doing.

I've had three different chargers. The first one didn't have the spur on the plug. Apparently people were plugging it into the earphone jack and zapping their Rios so Sonic Blue traded it for a new one with a spur to keep it out of the earphone jack. The dash 010 model came with a different "switching" charger. Not much explanation as to what was wrong with the old one.

This is 2002. Sonic Blue should get something like this right the first time. These things are too expensive to keep jerking the consumer around.

Works well and easy to setup!.......2002-04-28

I just recently purchased one of these. I'm not sure why these other people were having problems but I had absolutely no troubles setting this up. The battery lasts about 10 hours. Maybe calibration is the key. Make sure to upgrade the firmware on your Rio player (takes about 5 minutes).

Amazon Marketplace Possible Alternative For SimpleTech SDRAM.......2004-05-16

If anyone considering purchasing additional RAM for their PC has concerns about the SimpleTech chipsets...There are several Crucial.com/Micron Chipsets available from a private seller for less total cost!

Crucial/Micron is very well known and respected top brand...
(I have never had any problems whatsoever with RAM/motherboard-mainboard compatibility and their chips).

If in doubt...go to their site at: http://www.crucial.com where they have a memory advisor config tool, based upon your PC mfgr & model number...once you enter those, it returns compatible memory for your PC (their brand of course), but take a look at the specs supplied & pay attention to details such as buffered/unbuffered, ECC or non-parity, CL = 3 or CL = 2, is it 16X64MB or 32X64MB config, etc.

Then if you find one of their brand that works in your PC...find a "like new" one for sale here on the Amazon.com site...you'll save a lot (versus buying 'new' from the OEM/vendor directly)
RAM either works or it doesn't, 'new' or 'used' makes no difference to your PC (but buying used can make a big difference to your wallet/purse).

Try it...you'll see!

IT IS NOT WORTH THE COST.......2004-03-03

do not even think about spending your money on this kind of memory it is just a waste of time i tried this memory and just like others said it will not count up all of the memory.

Check With Simpletech before you buy (ditto!).......2004-02-08

Like the previous reviewer, I purchased this and my motherboard could only detect 128M (half the memory). My motherboard takes 256M PC100 non-ECC unbuffered SDRAM, so I thought this would work.

Simpletech has an easy-to-use compatibility calculator on their web site, so go there first and come back here to buy! I also found their instant-message based tech support speedy and helpful.

14 days and counting.......2004-02-04

I placed an order over 14 days ago, sent several email asking where the product is and I havent received answers on either, I wish I had never placed this order, plus I paid for faster delivery, if I were you I would go elsewhere, without hesitation

Check with SimpleTech before you buy........2003-10-23

I bought a SimpleTech 256MB RAM from Amazon.com and installed it into my Pentium III 550 MHz computer but my computer could only detect the RAM as 128MB, not 256MB. I sent e-mail to SimpleTech and a representative told me to contact Tech Support by telephone. After several attempts in several days and long waiting, I finally talked to a technician. He checked the model of my mother board and he said I can order another RAM, then he gave me the model number of the suitable RAM. The price is higher on the other model. But both models are 168 pin PC100 256MB SDRAM. So if you want to buy a RAM to upgrade, I suggest you to check with Simple Tech. The information from the mother board manual is not enough to make a decision.

I believe Simple Tech produces good memory module but it may not compatible to your computer. So please check with Simple Tech first.
