Amazon.com Product Description:
Sony's TC-WE475 dual-well cassette player/recorder offers high quality and plenty of great features, including dual auto-reverse playback. When coupled with the deck's relay play feature, dual auto-reverse means you can enjoy up to three hours of continuous music from two 90-minute cassettes. One tape well plays, the other records. You can set the recording input level using a dedicated control or rely on Sony's auto level-setting feature to choose the most appropriate level for your tape (this works best on dynamically limited material such as pop music). Choose from normal- and high-speed dubbing: normal speed for higher fidelity, high speed for greater convenience.
Sony has built the deck with high-density Permalloy tape heads for long life. For noise reduction, the TC-WE475 is outfitted with both Dolby B, the encoding standard used on most prerecorded cassettes, and Dolby C, which buys you another 10 to 20 dB or so of noise reduction beyond that offered by Dolby B (around 10 dB). Use Dolby when recording and, if a tape has been recorded using Dolby, when listening.
Two other technologies specifically heighten the quality of your recordings. During loud level peaks, Dolby HX Pro dynamically adjusts the bias signal (a supersonic and basically sacrificial tone your deck uses to push distortion out of the audible range), effectively letting you record "hotter"--that is, louder on tape--without compressing the high-frequencies of your program material. Secondly, an onboard MPX filter blocks the 19 kHz multiplex pilot tone of FM stereo broadcasts for proper Dolby noise-reduction tracking when you record off the air.
Other features include full-logic, feather-touch transport controls and twin electronic tape counters (one for each deck), which come in handy when you're making a compilation from a variety of source tapes. If you have a Sony audio/video receiver, you can operate the deck from your receiver's remote control.

- Excellent product!
This is very good value for money, many of the features on here you'd normally have to pay extra for. Sony are masters of their craft and after many years of cassettes, they still seem to have put some effort into what is now, fundamentally, a dead product. Once again, excellent product.

- Bad purchase
Sorry I bought it.Even after exchanging it because the first one was damaged, it never worked.Played CDs fine, just never could get it to record.Instruction booklet not very clear either.

Rating: - Great Quality - Remote Control Lacking
First off, I love the sound quality that this Sony tape deck produces, it truly is amazing!! I bought this for my father, and he has HUNDREDS of old cassettes, most of which are nearly over 30 years old and had lost their sound quality on other players, but sounds just like a digital CD. Truly amazing sound!!!
This unit does not come with a remote control, but one is available for purchase separately. I did not need to buy one, since I have a universal remote control that I was able ... Read More
Rating: - Perfect for what I wanted
This Sony Cassette player is just what I wanted. I works great for the project I'm doing. It's fast and the sound quality is great. It has lots of features which I may use some day. The instruction book is (as all instruction books) a bit difficult to understand.
