Sony M-800V Microcassette Voice Recorder

Summary: DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!
Review: THIS MINI SIZE RECORDER GIVES YOU MINI SIZED PERFORMANCE.The specs. say it uses AA BATTERIES.I PURCHASED ONE AND FOUND OUT THAT IT TAKES AAA BATTERIES.IT'S SMALL SIZE IS IMPRESSIVE, BUT IF YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO HEAR WHAT YOU RECORDED? I WOULD STAY CLEAR OF THE 800 SERIES RECORDERS FROM SONY!!I HAVE ALWAYS FOUND THAT AAA BATTERY DEVICES DO NOT HAVE THE POWER OF AA BATTERY DEVICES.SONY'S 500 AND 600 SERIES MICROCASETTE RECORDERS HAVE EXCELLENT AUDIO PLAY BACK.THEY HAVE A BIGGER SPEAKER AND USE AA BATTERIES.I RETURNED THE, M850V AND PURCHASED THE M650V.WOW!!! WHAT A DIFFERENCE.I ACTUALLY HAVE TO TURN THE VOLUME DOWN.
IF YOU WANT TO HEAR WHAT YOU RECORDED? STAY AWAY FROM THESE MINI SIZED 800 SERIES UNITS.THE 500 AND 600 SERIES ARE ONLY 5/8 OF AN INCH LONGER AND OFFER 100% BETTER PLAY BACK!!!!!
