Olympus VN-3100PC Digital Voice Recorder "Err" Message

I bought a brand new Olympus VN-3100PC Digital Voice Recorder and have recorded 14 hours of very important interviews for a research project. Get back home and the recorder is giving me a "CHK" error and then a "ERR" message immediately after it. I need to get the data off of it. Can you tell me what I can do to make this happen?

    Exactly the same problem - "Err' message after "CHK" message. Recorder simply dosen't do anything and have many hours of recorded music on it.Only had the recorder for 2 months. Reinstalling batteries only produces same Err message.

Download the digital wave player and install it. That will work for your VN-3100PC http://www.olympus.it/consumer/2590_software.cfm?category=0&productgroup=347&product=421&os=7&result=

    Hold down the disp/menu and stop button at the same time for a couple of seconds. It will go away and fdr will display. This will go away after a few seconds and your ready to go.

Digital Voice Recorder Vn-3100

are you sure it doesn't say "CLEAR"? Which looks like ERR on the display. Its asking if you want to "clear" all data from the recorder.

Page 9 of your manual. Here's links if you need them:

Can't seem to transfer files to computer

The memory is probably corrupt. Use the reformat feature from the menu. Any recordings will be lost.

Olympus VN-3100PC Voice Recorder Problem

The ERR message can only be corrected by holding in the DISP/MENU and STOP buttons for two seconds, which results in all the material on the recorder being erased. It will say (FOR) for a few minutes while it is erasing everything, then will work again. Solution found at http://www.amazon.co.uk/Olympus-VN-2100-Digital-Recorder-microphone/dp/B000V3NTEU

Error message

I had the same problem with my Olympus VN-5000. I found a solution, which appears to reformat the memory. Try to press the STOP and DISP/MENU buttons at the same time for about 2 seconds, and then the display should show "FOR". It will supposedly erase the whole memory, but will at least make the device usable again. I hope this solution works for your model!
