Voice Operated Recording (VOR) activates the recorder only when audible sound is present, conserving tape and eliminating soundless passages. Playback speed control (-20 percent to +30 percent) lets you adjust playback speed slower or faster than normal, for easy review and editing of recorded information during playback.

The clear voice sound system enhances your voice quality during recording and playback for greater clarity. The monaural microphone jack lets you connect an external microphone if desired.

This full-size cassette recorder has one-touch recording for simplified, quick play/record operation. The LED battery level indicator provides a visible signal of the battery power remaining. The front speaker has excellent sound quality to monitor tape playback. There is also an automatic shutoff feature at the end of the tape, which reduces mechanical wear and conserves battery power.

The cue/review function can be used to help find specific passages during fast forward and rewind modes, while the pause switch allows for instant on-the-spot editing. This recorder also has an earphone jack for private listening with optional earphone. In addition, this unit has a DC-in jack for two-way power operation, using replaceable batteries or the optional AC power adapter.

for just recording your voice, you MAY want to get this one, but for anything else, just get a boombox or cassette deck.

Not happy with the quality! Sony has really gone DOWN with this tape recorder...my grand children's Fischer Price is better quality than this and the Sony costs over $115.00. Hope it lasts for my Family Reunion and the family history I want to tape!

This is a great little player/recorder! Recently, I came across some old, old cassettes....a friend of mine had recorded our wedding ceremony, 36 years ago......last year I lost my beloved husband, very unexpectedly, to an aneurysm.....it was so incredible how I came upon the cassettes, and this little machine is a true god send......the wedding ceremony was pretty much loud and clear, and I heard my beloved husband's voice recite his wedding vows, "Till Death Do Us Part," loud and clear......tears streamed down my face.....I was so very thankful to have this wonderful little player!!!! Thank you so much!

This was just what we wanted. A little trouble getting the tapes but now we have them and are satisfied with the purchase.

I was very happy to see these still existed and even more exstatic when it came in the mail. This recorder records with clear excellence.The only cons I can think of is the fact that it picks up the slightest bit of background noise, and it requires cassette tapes. But to me that is nothing compared to its quality. l I am very very happy with this product.
