Product Details

Sony Dual Auto-Reverse Cassette Deck, Model TCWE475

The TCWE475 offers classic dubbing deck features, plus Sony quality, at a very wallet-friendly price. Auto-reverse play (on both decks) and auto-reverse record (deck B) means you don't have to flip tapes over. Relay play lets you enjoy all the music on both sides of both tapes, for hours of nonstop playback. Or use multiple music search to skip right to the song you want to hear next. Make tape-to-tape copies at normal speed, or at high speed in half the time! Deck A even offers pitch control that lets you adjust the music's playback speed. CD Synchro makes for convenient dubbing from Sony Control A1/A1II-compatible CD players.

Has what seems to be a flaw.

Reviewed by Thought I had what I've been looking for (Experienced) from Fresno, CA on May 05, 2011

I purchased two of these items all because of the functionality. I was looking for something that would play cassette tapes that has the "auto reverse" feature. This deck has that. The only problem I encountered (with both decks) is that they make a loud noise every time the auto reverse happens. This noise is very distracting and frustrating. I tried both decks because I initially thought it may be a manufacturing defect. They both do this. I am very unhappy with this matter because my wife uses it at night to help her sleep and the noise disturbs us both. If it wasn't for this, I would be a very satisfied customer.

Great buy

Reviewed by richard (Experienced) from arlington heights, IL on Sep 23, 2010

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

It handles old tapes very well. However, without a remote, you have to get close up to the deck (especially if you wear glasses) to find the buttons to push, which is something of a nuisance. I expect that over time I will become familiar with their function and it will become easier to use. I'm just grateful that tape decks are still being made.

I like the way the cassette deck sounds.

Reviewed by Sal (Novice) from Chicago, IL on Apr 03, 2009

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

I just used my cassette deck to listen to old tapes as I did my housework. The sound is great. I could hear even when I was in the basement. It's a little confusing when I want to go back and listen to a particular song again. I'm sure I'll adjust in time.

Last tape deck you'll ever need

Reviewed by Richard (Practical, Professional, Audiophile, Tech Savvy, Musically Inclined) from New York, NY on Dec 14, 2007

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

I needed a cassette deck to replace one with a shorted-out rt channel output. The Sony TCWE 475 has the advantage of speed control in one of the cassette wells to correct for off-pitch tapes. So far the deck has performed very well. The purpose of the deck is to convert cassettes to CD and other digital media. As to one of the entries in the "pro"s box - ask me how durable it is in a few years, not a few days.
