Sony's TCM-200DV cassette recorder offers a multitude of features which make it an excellent choice for a cassette voice recorder. The two channel, one track recorder promises accurate recording. For recording ease, Sony has installed double recording time and voice operated recording. The double recording time gives you the option of recording at a standard speed, or at half the standard speed, essentially giving you double the recording space. With voice operated record, you no longer have to worry about constantly shutting off and switching on the record button; with the first hint of sound, the TCM-200DV will begin recording. Sony's Sony-Matic automatic recording level control will keep your recordings at one constant level. Play-back editing or transcribing becomes more useful with this feature. If the internal microphone doesn't support your recording needs, simply plug in an external mic into the mic jack. An essential playback feature is the playback speed control. With this adjustment, you can adjust the speed between thirty percent of normal and negative fifteen percent of normal. This is a great tool for those transferring interviews or lectures. If you find yourself fighting to hear the cassette player via the built-in speaker, plug earphones into the recorder and your troubles will be lessened. In fact, Sony has installed a L/R monaural earphone jack for clear and unobstructed hearing. There are two options in powering this recorder. The first is an optional AC adaptor. If batteries are more useful, use the required two AA batteries; these batteries will run for up to twenty-five hours. With the LED battery level indicator you can be watchful of remaining battery time. With automatic shut-off, you can be assured that you will not be wasting batteries needlessly. Other features include: clear voice recording system, cue and review, pause switch, stop/pause release function. The recorder's color is silver. What's in the Box

Sony TCM-200DV Cassette Recorder with Dual Power Source Reviews
But there are a few problems with a DVR. You can rewind and fast forward, but you cannot hear anything when doing so. In some cases old technology is actually better than new. Finally, when you are interrupted during a recording, or stop the recording prematurely, a DVR is cumbersome when trying to go back and add or record over previously recorded material.
First of all, there are only three playback speeds; normal, slow, and fast. I have been using a DVR in language study; I would record my friend speaking basic sentences in Japanese and then listen to them over and over to help with my pronunciation. Obviously a DVR also has many advatages over a cassette recorder, but for my purposes the old is better than the new. This is very simple using the cassette recorder.
Also, using a DVR cueing in reverse and forward is not possible. This cassette recorder allows you to vary the speed- I believe that the specs in the description are wrong, it seems as though you can speed up or slow down up to 100% of the original recording.
This one has a great feature to slow down or speed up the playback which has been lots of fun for my kids. My kids were thrilled with this, just like I was when I was their age with my first tape recorder. Just wish it had a counter to keep track of where you are on the tape. I'm glad I bought a small portable microphone to go with it which makes it easier for one person to operate while recording themselves.
L. Jackson Excellent service; shipped right away. Would definately buy from Amazon again. Product was well packaged, hence no damages.
We were able to take this recorder on our vacation and use it in a church service where we recorded some music and a message. We have not used all the features, but what we have used have performed above our expectations and we look forward to continue to use it with confidence. We were about four rows back and still got a very clear recording (of course not a professional grade) that we could use to learn the song and review the message.
Sound quality could use marginal improvement (would rate it at an 8 on a scale of 10). While the item description states cassette recorder with dual power source - it does not come with the plug in power source (that would have made it a very strong candidate for five stars). The speed control feature is very handy. Very good value for the money. Generally a very good product.
