I bought this unit to replace my old Sony that finally gave out after 18 years. (I paid less this time than I did 18 years ago. That says something about cheap labor, I suppose.) This appears to be the only cassette deck that Sony still makes. The new deck has more features, like the dubbing and auto reverse, but the frequency response specs are not as good. And it's very noisy (klunk- klunk) when you ask it to play, or rewind, or stop.
I would have been willing to pay more to get better performance. But it did get my existing tape collection back into use. So far (2 weeks) it works fine. It's as good as it gets at this price.

I bought this unit to replace my 20 year old Sony ES deck that finally decided to quit.
I needed a suitable replecement because I have several home made metal tapes that I
don't want to part with. Thanks to Crutchfield I was able to replace my old unit with one
that works just as great as the old one, and for a lower price, as these items are getting
harder and harder to find..

We enjoy this product daily through our home audio system. Great Quality Sound as we
expect from Sony. Easy and simple to use buttons make it a pleasure to use daily. It
desperately needs a remote control. I wouldn't have bought it if I had known it didn't
have one.

Nice, but does not equal older decks. |

I bought this to replace 2 single cassette decks from the '80s. I can't comment on the dubbing features-don't copy cassettes anymore. And it's better to have 2 seperate decks to copy so you can send the signal through the equalizer. And with this deck an equalizer is a must for recording and playback. The frequency response is limited. You'll have to boost the low bass and high treble to get it to sound close to a CD or LP. That wasn't necessary with my older decks. But I understand it's an entry level deck-can't complain. Also as with many newer decks there's no record balance or mic jacks. But having a mixer hooked to the stereo takes care of that. And the tape counters go back to zero when the unit it turned off. I don't know if mine is defective or if they're all that way, but it's annoying.
On a positive note there's many good features-auto reverse with relay play, Dolby B and C HX Pro, pitch control(but only on playback deck), headphone jack, AMS, but only works if there's at least 2 or 3 seconds between songs.
