Amazon.com Product Description
Sony's TCM-200DV cassette recorder offers a multitude of features which make it an excellent choice for a cassette voice recorder. The two channel, one track recorder promises accurate recording. For recording ease, Sony has installed double recording time and voice operated recording. The double recording time gives you the option of recording at a standard speed, or at half the standard speed, essentially giving you double the recording space. With voice operated record, you no longer have to worry about constantly shutting off and switching on the record button; with the first hint of sound, the TCM-200DV will begin recording. Sony's Sony-Matic automatic recording level control will keep your recordings at one constant level. Play-back editing or transcribing becomes more useful with this feature. If the internal microphone doesn't support your recording needs, simply plug in an external mic into the mic jack. An essential playback feature is the playback speed control. With this adjustment, you can adjust the speed between thirty percent of normal and negative fifteen percent of normal. This is a great tool for those transferring interviews or lectures. If you find yourself fighting to hear the cassette player via the built-in speaker, plug earphones into the recorder and your troubles will be lessened. In fact, Sony has installed a L/R monaural earphone jack for clear and unobstructed hearing. There are two options in powering this recorder. The first is an optional AC adaptor. If batteries are more useful, use the required two AA batteries; these batteries will run for up to twenty-five hours. With the LED battery level indicator you can be watchful of remaining battery time. With automatic shut-off, you can be assured that you will not be wasting batteries needlessly. Other features include: clear voice recording system, cue and review, pause switch, stop/pause release function. The recorder's color is silver. What's in the Box

Summary: Average for its price 2009-05-25
Comment: Remember how technology has changed, that is, every recorder is different...
This recorder has a white magnet erase head. (That technical aspect a long, personal story through experience.) It hardly erases over metal bias but mostly erases over high bias. Some high bias tapes record nearly as well as normal bias, but metal bias has very low sound level and quite distorted. (Read my review on the Sony TCM-929, what a difference!) Overall, a nice unit for the price, but you are fine without the adapter. It made the sound quality abysmal, and even on a GE recorder of this size sounded much worse running on household current. Batteries, you can't go wrong. Rechargeable NiMH batteries last as long as alkaline (Duracell or Energizer) do in my experience, but maybe an hour or two less recording time after much use.
Pros:
- Very sensitive internal microphone, DC bias effect not bad in recordings
- Records quite well on normal and high bias (best if no previous recording)
- Sound quality is cleaner with an external microphone (a PC mike will work)
- Very good sound through the internal speaker
- Very good with headphones - left/right heard (as if it were stereo)
- Very good battery life (alkaline or NiMH, have not tried lithium)
- Durable, hinged battery door
Cons:
- Erases and records poorly on metal bias (very hard-to-find these days anyway)
- No tape counter
- Somewhat low auto record level, moderate noise (low s/n ratio) on even a good tape
- Use masking tape to cover tabs - metal detection lever can puncture cellophane tape
I would recommend this product in general, but could have better sound even for a recorder in its price range.
