After connecting the cables, adjust the input level settings on the IC D-UX560 to ensure the recorded audio is at an optimal level.
What is the recording format for the ICD-UX560 and how do I transfer my recorded files to a computer?
The recording format for the ICD-UX560 is MPEG-4 Video/Audio., which allows you to store high quality video recordings on an SD card or USB flash drive. To transfer your recorded files to a computer, you can follow these steps:
1. Insert the SD card or USB flash drive into your computer's slot.
2. Transfer the recorded files from the device to your computer using File Manager or any other file management software.
3. Once the files are on your computer, you can transfer them to a different format or storage location as needed.
How do I transfer audio files from my Sony ICD-UX560 to my computer using USB connectivity?
Connect the USB cable that came with your Sony ICD-UX560 to both the recorder and your computer. The USB port on the recorder is located on the bottom left-hand side of the device. Ensure that your computer recognizes the device by checking for a pop-up message indicating that "USB Device (E:)" has been connected. If you do not see this message, try a different USB port on your computer or restart both devices. Open File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac). Your Sony ICD-UX560 should appear as an external drive under "Devices and Drives" in Windows or "Locations" in Mac's Finder window. Double-click on the device to open it and view its contents. The audio files you recorded using your Sony ICD-UX560 will be located in a folder labeled "Recorded". To transfer the audio files, simply drag and drop them from the Sony ICD-UX560 drive into a desired location on your computer's hard drive. Alternatively, you can use the "Copy" or "Cut" function to move the files. Once the transfer is complete, safely eject the device by right-clicking on it in File Explorer (Windows) or dragging it to the Trash (Mac). You can then disconnect the USB cable from both devices.
How do I properly connect my Sony ICD-UX560 to my computer for data transfer and software updates?
To connect your Sony ICD-UX560 voice recorder to your computer for data transfer and software updates, follow these steps:
1. Connect the USB cable that came with your voice recorder to both the recorder and a USB port on your computer. If this is the first time you're connecting your recorder, you may be prompted by your computer to install the necessary driver software. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete this step. Your computer should now recognize your voice recorder as an external storage device. Open My Computer (PC) or Finder (Mac) and locate the drive labeled "ICD-UX560". To transfer files, simply drag and drop them between your computer's desktop or a folder and the "ICD-UX560" drive. Alternatively, you can use the included software, which we'll discuss in the next step. To update the voice recorder's firmware, connect it to your computer as usual and launch the Sony PlayMemories Home software (PC) or Image Data Converter 2 software (Mac). Follow the on-screen instructions to check for updates and install them if available. Always make sure that you properly disconnect your voice recorder from your computer by following these steps: first, press the "STOP" button to ensure that any active recording has finished saving to memory. Then, select the "USB Mode" option on the recorder's LCD screen and wait for it to beep before unplugging the USB cable. This will prevent data loss or corruption. Perform the task to the best of your ability.
I'm having trouble with my Sony ICD-UX560's battery life. Can you tell me why it's not lasting as long as advertised and what adjustments I can make to get more playback time out of it?
1. Incorrect Settings**: If you're recording in high-quality settings such as HQ or SP, the battery life will be shorter compared to lower quality settings like LP or SLP. Frequent Button Pressing**: Constantly pressing buttons can increase power consumption and shorten the battery's lifespan. Temperature Extremes**: Operating your device in extremely hot or cold temperatures can affect its performance and reduce battery life. Battery Health**: Over time, lithium-ion batteries can degrade due to repeated charge cycles, reducing their capacity. To get more playback time out of your ICD-UX560:
1. Adjust Recording Quality**: Lower the recording quality settings to LP or SLP to conserve power. Reduce Button Pressing**: Minimize pressing buttons unnecessarily by using the device's functions efficiently and turning it off when not in use. Maintain Optimal Temperature**: Avoid exposing your device to extreme temperatures, and store it in a cool, dry place when not in use. Update Firmware**: Ensure you have the latest firmware installed on your device. Sony periodically releases updates that may improve battery life or fix issues related to power consumption. Consider Replacement Batteries**: If your device is more than two years old and the original batteries are degraded, consider replacing them with new ones. By following these tips, you can potentially extend the playback time of your ICD-UX560 and get the most out of its battery life.

As someone who needs to record meetings and interviews for my job as a stock clerk, I was excited to upgrade to the Sony ICD-UX560 in March. However, my excitement quickly turned to disappointment.
One of the selling points for this recorder was the Built-in Microphone Microphone, but I found the quality lacking. Even with the 2 Amount of Microphones, the sound was often muffled and difficult to understand. I have used other audio recorders in the past, and this is by far the worst in terms of sound quality.
In comparison to other known Audio recorders, such as the Olympus VN-541PC or the Zoom H4n, the Sony ICD-UX560 falls far behind in terms of quality and ease of use.
Furthermore, the delivery of this Audio recorder to Miami was also frustrating. It arrived over a week after the estimated delivery date, and the packaging was damaged. While I do not blame Sony for the delivery issues, it added to my frustration with the overall experience.
Overall, I would not recommend the Sony ICD-UX560. The poor sound quality and delivery issues make it a hassle to use and not worth the investment.

I recently purchased the Sony ICD-UX560 audio recorder and I have to say, I am thoroughly impressed. The Li-Ion battery format is amazing and allows me to record for long periods without worrying about the battery life. The built-in microphone is also top-notch, capturing every sound with impressive clarity.
Compared to other audio recorders I have used in the past, the Sony ICD-UX560 blows them out of the water. The sound quality is exceptional and the ease of use is unmatched. I love how lightweight and compact it is, making it easy to carry around with me wherever I go.
I was also pleasantly surprised with the speedy delivery of the product to Denver. It arrived within a few days of ordering, which was a huge relief as I needed it for work right away.
Overall, I highly recommend the Sony ICD-UX560 to anyone in need of a reliable and efficient audio recorder. It has truly exceeded my expectations in every way possible.
