My Philips DVT8010 has started recording with a delay of about 3 seconds after I press the Record button, is this normal?

That's an interesting issue. The Philips DVT8010 is a relatively old model, and it's possible that some users might have reported similar issues in the past. The first thing I'd like to check is whether this delay is consistent across all recording modes or if it only happens under specific conditions. Can you try recording in different modes (e. NTSC, PAL, etc. Also, are you using any external devices connected to the DVR, such as cameras or additional hard drives? Sometimes, these can cause issues with the timing of the system. Lastly, have you tried resetting the device to its factory settings or performing a software update (if available)? This might help resolve any underlying issues that could be causing the delay.

My Philips DVT8010 audio recorder keeps displaying "E-01" error on its screen. What does this error code signify and how can I rectify it?

The "E-01" error code on a Philips digital voice tracer is likely an indication of an empty or incorrectly formatted memory card. When you insert the memory card into the recorder, ensure that it's properly seated in its slot and aligned with the notches. Then, remove the memory card from the device and reinsert it. This might resolve the issue if the error was caused by a loose connection. If the problem persists after attempting this fix, check to see if your memory card is damaged or has been corrupted. Try using a different memory card in the recorder to isolate the issue. Additionally, you can try resetting the device to its factory settings. This can be done by pressing and holding the "Rec" button while powering on the recorder. Release the "Rec" button when the recorder's screen displays a message indicating that it is resetting. If none of these steps resolve the issue, consider consulting Philips' customer support for further assistance or referring to the user manual for additional troubleshooting instructions.
