[Electronics-talk] New Victor Stream review

[cheez]

On most devices, one can hear what is being recorded, if a headphone is 
plugged into the headphone jack.  I also should have included this 
monitoring possibility when recording via the built-in mic as well.
On the first VSR, you can't hear anything.  So, if you are recording 
something either through the build-in mic or an external one, and have your 
headphones plugged into the headphone jack, you would not hear what was 
being recorded.
