Sony Microcassette Recorders Feature Explanations:

1 - Microcassette Recording Media
These recorders use easy to obtain, easy to store microcassettes for recording and playback convenience.
2 - Built-in Microphone
Built-in microphone for extra convenience eliminates the need for an external microphone in many situations.

The M-100MC's High-Quality Uni-Directional Microphone minimizes recording of peripheral sounds and is ideal for recording speaker at lectures and presentations.

3 - 3 Mic Sensitivity Modes
The M-100MC's Record Mode Selection (Lecture/Meeting/Dictation) lets you select best pickup sensitivity for recording a wide range of applications, from close-up personal dictation to large meetings.
4 - Cue Marker Indexing
Cue Marker Indexing System lets you place an electronic "mark" at specific tape segments, and provides rapid access during Cue and Review. This lets you use a single tape for multiple purposes: interviews, meetings, classes, and so on. While recording, press the Cue Marker to make your reference point. The "Marker" is a tone that is audible only when using Cue or Review during playback.
5 - Included AC Charger Kit
The M-675V's included AC charger kit (2 NiMH rechargeable batteries, battery charger and AC adapter) provides all you need to keep your recorder charged.
6 - Clear Voice Sound System
Enhances voice quality during recording and playback for greater clarity. Sony has boosted the milliWatt (mW) output of the amplifier. They've also upgraded the speaker itself to take advantage of the extra output. The speaker's frequency response is dedicated to the human vocal range. With Sony's Clear Voice Sound System, voices will have a rich clarity like you've never heard before!
7 - Voice Mirror
Confirms recording by mirroring voice input with LED illumination. The LED flickers in response to the sounds being recorded and shows you that the sounds are loud enough to produce a quality recording.
8 - Voice Operated Recording
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.
9 - Fast Playback
Plays tape at fast speed with sound (20% faster than normal), so you can hear specific passages for easy revision or transcription. Reduces the time needed to review recordings.
10 - Slide Switch Operation
Slide Switch Operation slides into position with one finger and changes the operating mode from Dictate to Stop to Listen to Backspace.
11 - Metal Case
The BM-575A's metal case is designed to withstand rugged use while dictating in or out of office, in the car, or elsewhere.
