The Sony TCM-210DV Is Not Usable [Posted on 2007-12-25]
I researched many tape recorders before purchasing the Sony TCM-210DV. I needed it to take meeting minutes. I tried it out at two different locations and the hissing tape noise is so loud it overpowers the voices. Loud voices close by can be heard, but the noise is nerve-racking on playback. I tried two brands of tapes, thinking the one that came with the recorder might have been defective, but they had the same background hissing noise sound. Also, I thought I could use the cue for marking places while taping. Hmmmmm. I have a very old ordinary recorder that allows that function. Now, I don't know what to do. I have to take these minutes and am afraid to throw away more money on another bad recorder. I would like to get a refund, but don't know if it is possible.

This unit is far better than the superficially similar RCA model 3-5366A. This Sony has much more solid construction, plus its ability to record at half-speed doubles the available recording time. It's a top buy, even though it's hard to find.
Misleading Ad. [Posted on 2008-01-21]
I have been using Sony TCM-200DV Standard Cassette Voice Recorder for more than 4 years, and it has given me excellent service ever since. I was therefore pleased to order the TCM-210DV model for a gift, thinking it would be an improvement over the one I had.
However, I must admit that I was greatly disappointed when I found that the supposedly upgraded model was exactly the same TCM-200DV with an AC adaptor. At first, I thought I was sent the wrong model by mistake so I returned it for a replacement. I later found that it was intentional.
Sony is reputed for good products, so I advise the company to keep it that way. It would have been better if the cassette recorder had been advertised as model TCM-200DV plus AC adaptor instead of presenting it as a new model TCM-210DV.
I rated the product with 4 stars only, not because of poor performance, but because TCM-200DV is stamped on a product that was advertized as TCM-210DV.

I bought this thing to replace my dying Aiwa. AFter having it for several months I'm not too crazy about this purchase. It doesn't do a lot of things and it wasn't cheap. Definitely,not getting what I paid for. It doesn't cue, the knobs are cheap and it feels with one push, the box might come a part. The design of this thing is kinda lame. The recording mic rests on one side while the record button you must push with the play button just doesn't make sense. It eats batteries so thank goodness for the dv adapter. The sound is clear enough but not as clear as Aiwa which they don't make anymore. And just not
I use it for recording ideas for music. I thought it recorded in stereo, well, that was MY mistake.
If you're recording speech and don't give a pig's nose about the 'feel' about the esthetics itself, then this is the device for you. And you'll pay well for it. It's worth $15 and maybe @20 with the adapter,not more.
