It cliked and clanked when the tape engaged. After owning a Teac tape recorder since 1983 that I was very happy with, I wanted a second one so I purchased this unit. What a dissapointment. It didn't have a earphone jack--my fault, I should have looked closer. After a couple weeks of use it wouldn't accept the audio feed in order to record so I returned it.
Since the unit appeared that it may have been out of the box before, I'm not sure if this was a shipping issue or I was sent a broken deck. The tape deck arrived at my door in what appeared to be an original new factory box, but the door for one of the two tape bays was ajar and would not function. Good buy for the money and this TEAC works fine, but be aware of buying so called "new" products over the internet. I could have taken the hour or two to repackage it and return for an exchange, but decided my time would be better spent tearing the unit down and fixing the problem. After some effort I fixed the door and the unit works fine. I usually like to buy electronics at a store were the can be easily exchanged, but low end tape desks are not variable at retailers in my area. Maybe I just had bad luck with my shipment, or this online provider.
Easy to use I'm not a professional sound man but for people wanting to make copies of tapes it does the job. Easy to operate. Has auto reverse and dual cassettes. The best deal for what you get. One negative: you can't reverse or fast forward BOTH ports simultaneously. Not a major issue
We listen to audio in our house much more than watch video so our electronic equipment is important. This piece fits our needs very well as it has gotten and will get a lot of use. It is easy to use and sounds very good.
(I'm still waiting for 2 HDMI cables that I ordered over a week ago on Amazon, go figure). He has no complaints (yet).
He has over 300 cassettes and needed something to replace a broken deck. I bought this unit for my elderly father.
My dad got it today and said it works great and sounds very nice. Unfortunately there are not many to choose from.
After reading the reviews on here I decided this machine seemed to be the best choice. The best thing was that I ordered it on Monday night and he received it Wednesday mid-day.
So very quick shipping for about $10.00.
