Compact tape recorder
I am a disabled person who has difficulty with using my hands and fingers. I use audiobooks on tape and disc, has they are easier to use, then a book. I already have a CD, MP3 player for audiobooks on disc. I found that it is very difficult to find, a product that just plays and records on a tape.The Sony compact tape recorder seems to be the main one still available.It can be used using the mains (AC power adapter supplied), or AA batteries.It has the normal control buttons, which are ...

Audio Casette player
My wife and daughter needed a recorder so that together they could listen to and use a set of language tapes. The Sony is just the job. The sound is good for it's size and the controls are straightforward. Not much use for listening to music but excellent for speech. The Amazon price was, by comparison with other sites, competitive. A good purchase.

Great
For the price you dont expect great quality and you dont get it with this recorder but it pays back in ease of use. This is ideal for recording very short clips of sound and then being able to play back straight away without the hassle of having to make seperate tracks and give them all a name- a frustration I've encountered with minidisc. It is possible to improve the sound quality to a good degree by using your own mic. For sheer convenience and very good value for money this is a winner, and ...

Plastic power
The Sony tape recorder is exactly as described, it is light weight with an integral handle and works well while being carried. The sound is pretty good but I doubt whether the item will prove to be very robust as the casing is all plastic, hence my score only being 4 stars. Time will tell, but iniatially I am very satisfied,

Does what it says on the tin!
I purchased this item for my Grandma who is blind and listens to audio books. She finds this type of machine easy to use and can't cope with anything more complicated. The simplicity of this machine is perfect for her. It was also the cheapest I found on the market.

cassette recorder-disappointing
I found that the cassette recorder did not record at close distance. It needed to be placed close to the height of the speaker and as I was transcribing one to one interviews that took place where there was only a lower table available the recordings were faint, so faint that I had to listen with the recorder placed to my ear. In addition to this I had to ask a couple of people to return. A total disappointment and waste of money as far as I am concerned.

Recording via in-built microphone
The Sony table-top tape recorder is just what I wanted for playing pre-recorded tapes, and is very satisfactory.However, I would also like to use it for recording my own piano music, but find the in-built microphone most unsatisfactory. On play back, there so much static/tape noise that it is impossible to listen to. I am prepared to purchase a separate microphone to plug into the recorder. Can you recommend one please ? The only ones I have seen on your website, have not had very good fe...

SONY PORTABLE TAPE RECORDER
This tape recorder from Sony Type TCM939BLK was delivered exactly as promised. It performs well, exactly as per the descriptive specification. As a battery/mains device it is particulrly suitable for partially sighted people who use audio cassettes, having simple controls.

A really good buy ........
I bought this machine for my elderly Mother after a lot of searching. She is almost blind and also hard of hearing and absolutely terrified when it comes to anything technical. She can't see the television any longer but enjoys listening to audio story cassettes.I was really pleased to find this Sony model and much to my relief, she can operate this machine easily and finds the sound quality good.All in all, a really good, basic, value for money recorder that delivers what it promises.
