Hi, sure, I respect what you feel and its all fine. Wel, I love the ptr2 the way it is, but maybe they could make it a little faster, when you press keys like volume and such, and just in general its not nice that ptp1 get new features but ptr2 don't. I mean why don't they also give it guide speed and guide volume for example?

Ed Lopez back here. It has ben a wile sense I ben on this list, it sounds like you may have a bad sell in the battery. I only use memory cards made by Sandisc. I get the hyer speed memory cards. That is, the memory on the cards has a more faster transfer rate. This also may save on battery life as well. I get about 7 to 8 hours on my PTP1 in recording and playing. Try giving the battery a good drain and charging it for a good 8 hours. If this doesn't help, I would get another battery.

Hi, yes, you rite, sorry I forgot about that it actually have guide volume, I just were quickly trying to think of an example to give you and ended up mentioning something that was already there. But I can also on the other hand understand why the machine is a bit slow with cd's, but they should make things faster wich don't depend on the drive spinning, like when editing on a cf card, and when pressing the volume up or down keys rapidly and move faster in the menu and so on. No its maybe not a big thing, but I just notice how that was improved on ptp1 and I no on ptn2 its stil a bit slow. But I love ptr2 and I would use it alot even if they don't improve it at all. Thank you for your thoughts.

battery drain significatnly on ptp
by william lomas 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

hi i noted my battery drain drops like a stone as i play books on my ptp i think the victor stream battery is far more superior? or will it take a few 4 hour charges to get it right? surely a significant battery drain shouldn't be noted in playing normal speed and wireless off?
