Questions & Answers

The directions for using the micro cassette are not available. Where can I get them?

The Sony BM-65 is readily available on the internet if you "Google" how to operate it On the product page of the "575 portable dictating machine", you will see a link with an instruction manual for the product There is a downloadable pdf version as well as a version available on-line. It is possible to find tutorial videos on YouTube as well. It is also possible to contact Sony's Customer Service Department and make an inquiry there if the website does not provide satisfaction. Here is some information that may help you.

Do you know how long this product is going to last? When it was used, was it tested for quality? Was it new or used? Is there a guarantee on this product?

Despite its age, this product is refurbished to factory specifications (it is not new). The product works perfectly and has been thoroughly There is a full six-month warranty with it. Thanks for taking a look at my work

Is it possible to explain how the counter works? It seems to take too long for seconds to pass. It probably isn't working right then, or is that meant to mean something else? Thanks so much! ?

Selected User Reviews For Sony BM-575 Portable Microcassette Dictating Machine

I think it works great when he wants to take the machine out of town
5/5

Purchasing this for my boss was a great idea. Despite the fact that we are very old school, he is still dictating to me everything. He can take this device out of town with him or just use it around his office. It's very small and compact, and it works well with a lot of different situations. This is the first time we've had any problems with it, and we've only had it for a few.

I essentially dictate for a living, so I like your product very much
5/5

At my desk, there is literally a pile of broken or malfunctioning recorders. The BM-96 is a great machine, which I bought after losing a number of dictations on cheap machines The transcriptionist was very happy when she received her work. There are parts of her throat where she can hear the words, especially when the recorder is turned Thus, fewer words will be missed or need to be corrected. My computer was not damaged when I accidentally dropped it. The cheap ones usually come to an end this way. Overall, I'm very satisfied with how the product turned out and the extra cost was worth it. This is Jeff. The Alaskan wilderness.

I spent only 3 months working there
3/5

During the first three months, the microphone (for the playback) worked fine however, the microphone stopped working after that time A microchip was then implanted An accident caused the cassette cover to fall As time went on, it eventually stopped recording altogether.

I was disappointed with the product, but the customer service from Amazon was outstanding
3/5

Despite its unique ability to rewind, this device was broken after about 1 hour of use, which makes it stand out from the typical $50 tape recorder (those who dictate extensively knows what I mean). There is only one portable micro-computer on the market There is no cassette recorder on the market that I could find that has a one-hand control (record, rewind, play) that allows the customer to change from rewind to play by releasing the control Dictation is made more efficient with this technique. In the past I have used the older version of the product (Lanier was bought by Sony) without any problems. It was a simple process to return the product for a The refund process was smooth and I was pleased with how the item was handled (I was not at fault of Amazon or the company who shipped the item). I think this is the first defective item I have purchased on Amazon.

An automatic recorder for a solid state drive
4/5

The recording machine I used for business transcriptions to microcassettes has served me well for years. There is a greater level of reliability with the plastic recorder and it is a much more compact design. It is easy to slip in your pocket while you are Two AAA batteries are required. The case of this recorder is made of metal, making it more durable than regular plastic recorders. I recommend this machine for people who want to use microcassette tapes.

Using it has never been easier
5/5

Since I have had these for dictation for 10 years, I know they will last a long time. So I think the up front cost is exceeded.

There was a request for it
3/5

People who remain in the digital age tend to wear this type of clothing, and it is said that it is a boon for those who resist it.
