Big Problems.......2003-01-23
Won't ship to England?.......2002-11-13
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
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 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
