I bought a Recorder Pnasonic RR-US470 2 years ago. Now, I had to format my computer and lost the software to convert and listen the recorders. I cant find the original CD. How can I install the software again? Panasonic says to buy another one. This is ridicoulus

Unfortunately, Panasonic never fully supported the RR-US470 on any 64-bit Windows OS. The RR-US470 recorder came with the Voice Editing Premium version 2.0. There is a Windows 7 update available here: http://av.jpn.support.panasonic.com/support/global/cs/soft/download/ . The documentation for the update is here:
http://av.jpn.support.panasonic.com/support/global/cs/soft/download/voice_editing21.html . This isn't guaranteed to work with Win7 x64. If you have Windows 8, it might work. With Windows 8.1, it may not work. Starting with Windows 8.1, Microsoft started to demand signed drivers and software for the x64 platform. The original software that came with the voice recorder worked with Windows 98 SE, Win2k, and XP 32-bit. See http://av.jpn.support.panasonic.com/support/global/cs/soft/connect/ve_env.html .

I hope this helps. Unfortunately, many USB connected devices are not supported with regularly updated drivers.

If you do not plan to use the transcribing feature of the Voice Editing software, there may be a slower option to transfer the recording to your computer. Connect the recorder's headphone jack to the Line-In port of the computer, using a 3.5 mm (M/M) audio cable. In the Control Panel for Hardware, go to the Sounds section. Find the Manage Audio Devices option and click on it. In the pop-up, go to the Recording tab. Check that the cable is plugged in and set this to the default recording option. (You can sometimes use the front Microphone jack. However, you'll have to make the computer recognize that you are using it as the line-in.) Use a program like Audacity, http://web.audacityteam.org/ , or any other music/audio extraction software. Set the Audio Host to record from the Line-In. Start recording then start the playback of the digital recorder's audio file. Use the computer speakers to listen to the playback. Adjust the volume settings so that the audio recording doesn't go into the red zone (too loud) or too soft. The indicator for too soft is a lack of volume fluctuation on the audio trace. After you finish recording the file, you can export the audio as an MP3 or other audio format.

The only way to convert VM1 files to anything else is to use the Panasonic voice editing software. I have tried several other methods that claim to work but none of them have. The only way I was to do this was:
1.install a Windows XP operating system onto an old computer or get access to a Windows XP, Vista, or 2000.
2. I found an old Panasonic voice recorder off eBay that still had the software and purchased it (Panasonic RR-US470)
3. Installed the software
4. This is where it got tricky. The voice editing software doesn't recognize .vm1 files from other sources. The recorder and its software create its own file structure but if you put your own .vm1 files inside them, even with the same name, it still won't read it. Unless you do this.
A. Let's say you have 20 .vm1 files you want to convert you must first record 20 different voice recordings onto your voice recorder. These recordings can be like a second long.
B. Attach the voice recorder and move the new recordings to the folder using the software. The software will name the files MB001.vm1...MB002, etc. They will be hidden also.
C. Name your old files (the ones you want to convert to the same name as the 20 new recordings.)
D. Delete the new recordings from your computer and replace them with the files you want to convert. (the must have the same name).
E. Your software will now see the old files you want to convert. (On the software if you click outside the folder they are located and click back into it, you will now see the same files. It will still have the same duration as your new recordings but the file size will be bigger and you can listen to it and it will now be your old files.
F. Convert these to wave.

Once you get your .vm1 file converted smash your recorder and never use Panasonic ever again. There may be an easier way to do this, but I've tried many ways and nothing worked except this.

Same problem.
I have Voice Editing Ver 2.0, does not work on RR-US050.

I would just get a USB video capture device. This will connect to the USB port on your computer and will connect to the video and audio out on your VCR. Basically you will be recording your VHS tape with your computer so it will be on your computer in the proper format. This will eliminate the frustration you have been having with unrecognizable formats. These devices come with there own software and its pretty simply to use. I also see that the price has come down on these devices. I bought one a year ago and was around $ 70. Now you can find one for around $ 20. Here is a link which has a bunch of them for sale. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_e?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=usb+video&x=15&y=22

I hope I have been of some help.
