Questions & Answers

When it is finished playing one side of the tape, does it make any sound?

This is the first time I've tested this, but I think that when the tape is finished, the tape should sound *br> Thanks for asking about it

Would this be useful for recording downstairs neighbors making noise for the landlord?

That's a given! There's a tape recorder there!

This player works only with AA batteries, which I bought. I've tried both the AC adapter and the tape-player, however the tape plays slowly. Can you tell me what's wrong?

Hi, You need to connect the 3V AC adapter to the wall outlet and the DC IN 3V power adapter to the AC power adapter. The AC-II is the best option A 30HG AC power adapter is required (not included). Thanks so much. The Earl

What is the voice activated function of the M 450?

Kathy here. I'm glad to hear from you. Not at all. As far as we can tell, this cassette recorder does not record via voice activation.

Selected User Reviews For Sony M-450 Microcassette Recorder with 30 Hours of Battery Life

As far as I am concerned, it works fine
4/5

I realize it is pretty old-fashioned today to own a micro cassette recorder. Though we are deeply embedded in the digital era, I still enjoy the analog world from time to time. My purchase of this was because I intend to go back to school and I have used it for note taking and whenever I need to do a homework assignment I practice my test-taking skills by asking and answering questions. While it is true that new items are no longer being manufactured and only used products are available in the market today, everyone who sells these things publicly is evidently extremely proud of their product. In my opinion, some of these items are outrageously priced, I understand that some may have a novelty or collectors' type attitude toward them, but. . . WOW. The one I selected was on the lower end of the price range, but I still considered it A nice touch was that it came with three used cassette tapes, which seem to be in good working condition. Basically, I don't have a problem with the device because it works and all the functions are working fine, just the price that is astronomical.

I would rather have a digital recorder than a phone
4/5

This was used. They do not make these anymore, which I find strange. The recording process simply sits there till you want to start it, then it starts recording. It takes some effort, such as going to the menu, etc. , only to turn on the digital junk. To record, you just press the red button and it will do the recording for you. The work. In addition to noting down notes and ideas, I use it to write down opinions and ideas I have A digital recorder would be impossible for me because having my eyes only on the road is imperative. In terms of a used item, it is fine. Additionally, the tapes are still available to buy.

I was very pleased with the customer service
5/5

The recorder I purchased did not work for me. There must have been an error on my part. A seller reached out to me after I inquired about the item and asked me to return it. Once he monitored it for me via video, he said it was operating. Then he returned it. This recorder works as advertised, and I am very satisfied with my purchase and I am.

Dictation can be done using this
5/5

The Sony recorder proved to be perfect for making quick notes while dictating, so much so that I intend to purchase a second in case the first fails. In terms of ergonomics, it is well designed, it has easily accessible control buttons, and it does not try to look fancy like A very clear voice replay is offered along with an oval-shaped Cue and Review Control (so you don't accidentally accidentally hit wrong buttons), the record button is clearly marked with red and the microphone with silver, making it hard for anyone to make mistakes or erase As with the Pause control, a red spot shows up when it's activated, so you don't have to guess whether the machine is in A surprising feature is when you plug in a pair of earphones, you get stereo sound The recorder feeds sounds from both sides of a headset as opposed to a standard tape recorder that only provides sound through the one phone in a headset. During the lengthening process, there are two speeds available, as described in the manufacturer's description. Purchasing this dictation recorder will be a wise and economical purchase if you are looking for a small, affordable, inconspicuous dictation recorder.

My favorite microcassette recorder is this one. Due to the fact that they are no longer produced, I am very fortunate to have found it.

MIROCAPE IS ONE OF THE BEST TAPES OUT THERE
5/5

Because this allows me to listen to cassettes made over 15 years ago, I'm a big fan of the site.
