4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good for the money, April 2, 2003
By 
This review is from: Sony M-560V Microcassette Voice Recorder (Office Product)
I've had mine for three or four years now. I've used it for taking notes as well as recording meetings, and it's good at both. It's small enough that it doesn't draw attention to itself.

Now, it's not a supersensitive spy recorder; you're not going to record a quiet coversation across the room. But that's not what it was meant for. It's best for recoding voices within 6-10 feet, although in a pinch it will record (somewhat noisily) from twice that distance. Add an external microphone and you can increase that range. Add an inexpensive telephone pickup and you can record your incoming phone calls, too. Use the VOR function and you can record them automatically.

Microcassette recorders are somewhat a dying breed, as digital recorders and flash memory cards plummet in price. But it'll still be a while before you can get a digital voice recorder that can record 90 minutes as cheaply as you can with a microcassette recorder.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for a small recorder, August 31, 2002
By 
This review is from: Sony M-560V Microcassette Voice Recorder (Office Product)
I bought this recorder to record a class I was taking. Lukily for me, my instructor had a loud voice so it recorded well. It has two speed selections. If you use the slower speed to get more tape time,it will get worse. It also has the V O R "high" "Low" selection and that's only to ensure continuous tape play when the voice gets soft. If your instructors voice is soft it may not work to well.

I've seen other Sony models that are better and they take a regular cassette tape not these microcassette tapes.

This model records noise instead of voice. I just returned it to Circuit City.
