Customer Reviews of Panasonic RQ-CR07V Portable Cassette Stereo
Earphones for tape Player I thought it was too expensive. I got top of the line at Radio Shack for much less
Pretty useless
For the midrange price point, this is one of the worst classic Walkman clones on the market. I can say this with certainty: I've had three of these, though thanks to a wildly indulgent Radioshack warranty plan I only paid for one. The fact is I kept returning them as defective until I just got sick of them and bought a Sony. I still have the third unit.

>One might reasonably ask what's so bad about this reasonably small, inexpensive device, given that it has digital tuning, ample presets, good bass-boost, a pair of not-bad headphones, and (gasp) auto-reverse! The latter feature is particularly exciting because it seems for the first time in Panasonic's history their auto-reverse mechanism actually works. But let's run through these features in order.

>1. This device is bigger than its Sony equivalent. It takes two AAs, and its battery economy is nothing special.(As always, leaving it in rewind or fast-forward for ten or twenty minutes will simply void a full battery). It is also _extremely fragile_. The speed potentiometer goes all out of wack in even slightly inclement weather; Toronto winters slow the tape way, way down, and leaving it on in a steamy room will damage the motor irreperably. My third unit simply stopped working (full batteries do not turn the unit on) because I dropped it once. This is silly. Despite no surface flaws, cracks, or other visual cues, it apparently had all it was going to take.

>2. There are in fact only ten presets (five per band). The comparable Sony has forty. Forty! And dialing a preset on this model is an awkward process requiring two keypresses on the pretty if unresponsive front console. By comparison, manual tuning is time-consuming and tedious.

>3. This device probably has the most essential bass-boost feature in the history of portable audio. The simple reason is that its volume output is offensively low. If you're trying to play something dubbed off a Columbia album, for example, you probably won't even be able to hear it on a busy street. It was almost absurd to hear (or rather, to not hear) that coquettish squeak emerge from Sennheiser headphones on full batteries. One thing I will say is that the sound _quality_ was very nice. In fact, in an absolutely silent room, using a high-quality tape, I think this machine actually sounds a little _better_ than its somewhat soupy Sony equivalent.

>4. I can't comment on the headphones. Panasonic ones nowadays are usually OK until they break. For my part, I gave them away.

>5. The autoreverse was good and never failed until the whole machine did. But I suppose the engineering wizardry which got the motor small enough to work in a unit this size also made the mechanics extremely delicate. See point 1 above.
