Your RadioShack Voice-Activated
Cassette Recorder provides time-tested
recording convenience in an affordable
package. The recorder’s voice-activation
feature lets you record only when there is
sound, providing hands-free operation
while recording. The built-in microphone is
sensitive enough for the boardroom, a
seminar, or a lecture hall. And your recorder is small enough to fit in your briefcase or purse, so it can go wherever you go.
Tape Counter
helps you quickly find
a specific section on
the cassette. It resets
with the touch of a
button.
Built-in Microphone
lets you make quality
recordings without
having to use an
external microphone.
One-Touch
Recording
lets you start
recording with the
press of a button.
Cue/Review
lets you listen to
recordings at high
speed to help you
find a particular
section and stop
there.
Tape Direction
Control
lets you change the
tape’s direction at
any time without
having to eject the
tape and turn it over.
