2.0 out of 5 stars Works very well while it works., January 14, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Panasonic RR930 Panasonic Microcassette Transcriber/Recorder (Office Product)

I have worked with quite a few of these transcribers over the years and this would be my least favorite. It works well for a while, but then the rewind and fast forward goes out on the foot pedal and then goes out on the machine itself. Normally transcribers last longer than these seem to. A co-worker has gone through 4 of them in 2 years. We keep asking administration to switch to a different brand, but they say these are cheaper. You get what you pay for, I guess.

I do tape transcription several hours a day. I have used/abused the machine for over two years now and it is still running just fine. This is a good product at a reasonable price. I agree with another reviewer, they are getting hard to find in retail stores, so thank goodness for Amazon!

This review is from: Panasonic RR930 Panasonic Microcassette Transcriber/Recorder (Office Product)

Kind of scary that this thing emitted the high pitch tone that I was afraid of within 2 days, but who knows how long its been boxed up and possibly contaminated. A call to Panasonic 800-405-0652 and a few prompts later and I finally got to speak with a human. I was told to do a "head cleaning" to the machine.


****Take tape out and While pressing Erase Prevention Lever (its a lil arm on the right/upper portion inside where the tape goes) press the Record Button. It will spin the wheels until u press stop.**********************

Now, why I didnt have to actually "clean" the head with any kind of alcohol and swab is beyond me. Either way this has worked so far. I hope this may help others.

I will try and keep track of this issue and post any other problems/solutions.



******UPDATE.....As of 11/4/2009 we have not had any issues at all. The machine is used 4-5 times a week for at least 2hrs per day. Havent had the dreaded screeching noise again either. It paid for itself quite quickly******
