4.0 out of 5 stars a decent product

4.0 out of 5 stars a decent product, November 2, 2000

This review is from: Panasonic RN405 Micro Cassette Recorder with Voice Activation System and Tape Counter (Office Product)
this recorder is pretty decent, especially for the price. I'm a college student who uses this product for recording lectures and it performs fairly well.

The built-in surround mic picks up some unwanted background noise when I record on a meduim volume setting and the lecturer's voice is drownded (recording on a higher volume makes the situation worse and a lower volume makes the voices almost inaudible).

I used it regularly until yesterday when the entire microphone system failed. It appears to work perfectly, but it picks up no sound now whatsovever -- not with the built-in mic nor with the external mic jack. A real problem when you need a reliable recorder!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for the price, February 20, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Panasonic RN405 Micro Cassette Recorder with Voice Activation System and Tape Counter (Office Product)
Not a bad little recorder. It's not as good as the digital recorders out there today but for the price I won't complain.
