4.0 out of 5 stars Very good for the price, June 1, 2009

I still use cassettes, obviously, and I like the small player/recorders, which also have their own speaker. This product is well built and durable. It plays well and has auto-shutoff in play mode, though, as would be expected, not in rewind or fast forward modes. As another reviewer stated, recording using the condenser microphone produces a sound that isn't very good, even if recording close to the microphone (I have not tried recording from a distance). I tried recording using a regular microphone, because the unit has a microphone jack, and the improvement of the recording was noticeable. Because the unit has the microphone jack, it is also possible to record from another device into the microphone jack (keep the input volume down, since microphone jacks are much more sensitive than regular jacks). This also worked well. I also tried out the slower speed mode, which doubles recording time, and it worked well.

For what you can buy this unit for, not the list price, it is a very good value.

P.S. After I wrote this review, and had 4/4 positive votes, I was playing with this player some more. I mistakenly plugged an A/C adaptor into the place you can do that, and the polarity was reversed, and now the player will only run on A/C, it no longer works with batteries. This is not the manufacturer's fault. Also, the normal polarity for these kinds of players is the correct polarity for this player. I have a digital recorder that uses reverse polarity with the A/C adaptor, and that was the adaptor I used! Sometimes these things happen...

I had my doubts at first, but after I received it I have nothing but good things to say about it. It is everything that they said it would be. If I had to, I would order it again . Thanks Dianne
