Hi n_appraises,

To resolve the issue that you have with your device kindly do this: Turn on the recorder and once you see ERR press and hold stop and erase until the word CLEAR appears. Once CLEAR appeared on the screen kindly press the REW or FW button to choose YES. Afterwards press PLAY to execute. This will clear any contained info but should restore function of the device.

Hope this helps.

Olympus no longer offers the printed manual. However, you can download a copy. Almost any office-supply or printing store should be able to print and bind it for you at a reasonable cost. You'll have to contact the store for the exact cost.

Does it connect by USB or have a USB card??

Hi shiiiizuka,

Please follow the steps below to correct the issue.

1. Check to see if the battery has been properly loaded and the polarity is in the correct position.

2. Change the battery to make sure it is not dead or low.

3. Check to see if the recorder is set on hold mode. This might interrupt the display. If so, release the hold mode and restart the unit.

If that does not work, try to reset the unit.

In some instances, using the CLEAR function will reset the recorder if it is performing erratically. Files deleted using the CLEAR function cannot be retrieved.

The VN-4100PC is formatted using the CLEAR function. Using the CLEAR function erases the time and date settings as well as all of the files, so be certain the files are saved elsewhere before clearing the recorder. The procedure is as follows:

1. Hold the [STOP] button and [ERASE] button simultaneously for 3 seconds or longer.

2. Press the [>>] or [
3. Press the [PLAY] button. The recorder will be formatted.

Hope it helps.

Try disable you antvirus program when you install the software.

check to see if the unit has a usb link cable if not you will need a cable with a plug on both ends similar to the one that a headphone has, plug this from the output on the recorder to the input on the computer (usually pink in color)and then use your favorite media software (too many to list) Good Luck!
