How do I get a Sanyo 8080 Transcriber to record?

Just record over it unless you have an erase button.

You may order a manual here.

Possibly in need of cleaning. There is a black rubber roller and the pin it engages to in play. These can be cleaned with a qtip and rubbing alcohol.

Does the erase light come on and the tape rewinds? Or does it just beep when you try? Could be a bad erase switch, sometimes pressing harder will do the trick. If it just beeps, try another tape.

You are probably connecting a stereo headset and this model only accepts a mono headset. You can get a stereo to mono adapter at Radio Shack for about $3.

Hold down erase and press rewind.

Ha this is a greatly contested two posiblities.

1/ Are you on a business network? The most common reason for this error is because the user has mapped network drives on low drive letters e.g. mapped drives on E F G H I etc. When you connect recorder windows trys to assign the physically available drive letter. However that drive is being used by a mapped network drive so windows simply doesnt recognise the newly attched device hence the sanyo software not recognising the device.

2/ Some Dell PC's struggle to supply enough power to all USB ports so try connecting to the back of the PC or removing some USB devices and reconnect the B130.

This error cannot be produced without a recorder being connect so it recognised to a point just. Just not correctly.
