Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Pearlcorder J300 microcassette recorder is compact, stylish, and loaded with features. And it's smaller and more ergonomic than any other Olympus microcassette product, meaning it's easy to carry around. An actuator begins recording at the sound of a voice and stops when the voice does. Fast-play mode lets you listen 25 percent faster than normal speed. And the dual tape-speed function can record three hours of voice on one 90-minute microcassette tape. Also included is a tape counter for easy location of previously recorded passages.



Product Description

Upholding the Pearlcorder's reputation for a classy combination of style and recording capability, the new model J300 also delivers great price-performance. Enclosed within a smart metallic champagne gold colored body, these ultra-compact, lightweight devices offer intuitive handling. The new Pearlcorder J300 microcassette recorder is compact, stylish and loaded with features. And it's smaller and more ergonomic than any other Olympus microcassette product, meaning that it's virtually effortless to carry around. Voice actuator begins recording at the sound of a voice - and stops when the voice does. Fast play mode lets you listen 25% faster than normal speed. And the dual tape speed function can record three hours of voice on one 90-minute microcassette tape.

1.0 out of 5 stars Piece of Junk, December 30, 2002
By A Customer
I have had this recorder for a couple years and have sent it back 5 times because it just decides to not work. Customer service is horrible and the new recorders they send me are just as bad and stop working (without explanation) again. A waste of time and money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Olympus J300 Microcassette Recorder, November 22, 2002
By A Customer
I have bought this recorder 2 days ago. I have used it only twice and for some unknown reasons it does not work any more.
I have paid [quite a lot]. Thus, if you do not want to have trouble do not buy it ! Add few euros and buy yourself something better.
