Sony TCM-200DV Key Features

Double Recording Time

Gives you the option of recording on a standard cassette at either normal speed or half the normal speed, for extended dictation or recording sessions.

Voice Operated Recording (VOR)

When you select the Voice Operated Recording mode, your Sony tape recorder automatically goes into Record-Pause mode. As soon as the microphone detects a noise to record, the VOR will release pause; the unit then begins recording. It continues recording as long as there is sound present. When the sound stops, the recorder will continue for a moment and then revert back to the Record-Pause mode. When the sound begins again, the recorder will release the pause and start recording again. VOR extends recording time by saving tape; allows for hands-free operation while recording.

External Microphone and Earphone Jack

Allows connection of an external microphone for special recording applications.

Playback Speed Control

Plays tape at fast speed with sound (as much as 30% faster than normal), so you can hear specific passages for easy revision or transcription. Reduces the time needed to review recordings. Also lets you reduce playing speed as much as 15% for easier review of recorded information.
