Q: I have a Sony MZ-R700 which I want to use the same as my old Sony M-627V Microcassette-Corder. I can set this old one to voice operated mode so it starts when a sound reaches a certain volume level. I want to do the same with the MD recorder.

A: It doesn't have that capability. It's not really a dedicated voice recorder. You'd be better off with this unit I think: Sony MZ-B10. I believe this unit will do what you're wanting. Check the manual for more info. Bob's your uncle

where can I repair my Sony microcassette recorders ?

It suddenly doesn't work. Anywhere to send it for servicing?


A: I think going to a Sony Authorized dealer would be the best .

Help getting a recording on the internet?

I bought one of those Sony Microcassette Tape Recorders. Is there any way I can get any of my recordings on the internet?

There are only two jacks

One of them is for headphones

The other one says "DC IN 3V" (whatever all that means)


A: The "DC IN 3V" is for an adapter to plug in to your house current. It converts 120 volts AC to 3 volts DC which is what your recorder needs.
If you want to get it on the Internet, you will need to go to Sony.com. Put in your model number. See if they have a wire that will plug into your headphone jack and has a USB connector on the other end so you can hook it up to your computer.
I don't know of a website where you can download your recorded tape though.
