This is a Sony TCM-20DV Pressman Portable Cassette Recorder Player – Rare Model with Variable Speed Playback Control. It is often used as a portable voice / audio player and recorder as it has an inbuilt microphone and speaker. This machine is no longer available new but is a very popular and sought after machine for it’s convenience and quality build. Photos are of the actual item. Please review all photos for cosmetic condition. Includes a new cassette tape, alkaline batteries and user guide. The TCM-20DV is a 2-track mono Cassette-Corder manufactured by the Sony Corporation in approximately 2000. The Pressman Portable Cassette Recorder was 91? Mm × 111? Mm × 37? Mm in size and 273? G in weight. It was light and portable and boasted some new features that the competition did not have. The one unique feature was the Clear Voice sound system, which enhanced voice quality during recording and playback. The built-in condenser microphone is fairly well isolated from the internal motor noise and does a good job of recording external sounds. There is also the option of installing an external microphone through the side socket. The case is rugged and made using a generous amount of plastic. It is very ergonomic in design and shape and fits well within the palm of your hand. Double: This unit has a “REC TIME” switch, which doubles the recording capacity of the tape by slowing down the tape speed from 4.8? Cm/s to 2.4? Cm/s. VOR: The Voice Operated Recording (VOR) is a very useful function on this unit. In the VOR mode, the internal processor powers the motor only when there is sound present, thereby saving tape and increasing the recording time. Voice operated recording (VOR). L/R monaural earphone jack. Stop pause release function. Will my cassettes work in this unit? This unit uses standard size compact cassettes. It is not compatible with microcassettes or minicassettes. Do you provide a guarantee? May I collect the item in person? I use recycled packaging where possible.

This is a Sony TCM-59V Pressman Portable Cassette Recorder Player – Rare Model with Variable Speed Playback Control. It is often used as a portable voice / audio player and recorder as it has an inbuilt microphone and speaker. This machine is no longer available new but is a very popular and sought after machine for it’s convenience and quality build. Photos are of the actual item. Please review all photos for cosmetic condition. Includes a new cassette tape, alkaline batteries and printed user guide. The TCM-59V was a full-function compact mono cassette recorder positioned near the top of its respective range. In addition to the usual features offered on this class of machine, the TCM-59V also offered auto-reverse (automatic on playback only, manual during recording), voice activated recording (VOR), a tape counter, a flat microphone built into the cassette door, variable speed playback and dual (mono) loudspeakers built into the rear of the unit. Clever design details were also in evidence, for example the pause switch was automatically cancelled when the stop key was pressed and the tape direction could be switched from forward to reverse even when the mechanism was stationary, returning to forward automatically when the cassette door was opened. The dual loudspeakers gave a surprising amount of volume for a machine that was little larger than the most compact playback-only Walkman models. As heads for auto-reverse mono recorders were not widely produced the TCM-59V used a stereo head with both the channels permanently wired together. Erasing was done by two separate heads, one on either side of the main head, which were switched in and out of the circuit as the direction of recording required. The mechanism was unusual in that both flywheels rotated in the same direction, the auto-reverse function being initiated by the reversing of the motor. This made it possible to control the auto reverse function electronically, hence the flexibility of operation that was possible. For automatic reverse, a reflective optical sensor monitored the rotation of one of the reels. The TCM-59V was a popular choice as a high quality dictating machine for business use but it is also very suitable for music listening, the only limitation being that reproduction is of course in mono only. Power type and voltage Dry Batteries / 2 x 1.5 Volt. Loudspeaker 2 Loudspeakers / Ø 3.6 cm = 1.4 inch. Power out 0.35 W (unknown quality). Dimensions (WHD) 88.7 x 113 x 37.2 mm.
