Pros & Cons
Pros
Deck has a fine tune adjustment knob that allows you to adjust the pitch of the playback. Usb port on the back of this deck populates itself on your pc as an audio codec. Using for digitizing existing tapes and creating cds.
The * are snappy, and the small screen on the front displays real audio meters. The screen also sports a dolby logo near the meters (even though this deck doesn't have dolby) so it's likely that the screen is repurposed from an older deck.
A little pricey but so far so good. The build quality is also really nice. Good investment, tascam is a very high rep brand, and still apparently is. A zealand zealand.
The tanashin mechanism is simple and easy to service in the future if the belt ever need replacing. Bottom line is this deck gets the job done.
Cons
These problems are completely inexcusable at this price point. Thank heavens for amazon's return policy, and the convenience of the kohl's drop off.

I do recommend this dual tape player if you don’t mind spending a few extra bucks.
You only get what you pay for.

Most of the lower priced players had such bad reviews i decided not to chance it and went for the pricier one that had much better reviews and reminded me a lot of my previous device

When one side stops you have to eject it and flip it over manually to play the other side
