Yes, the Sony Microcassette Recorder M-560V is designed to play MC60 microcassette tapes. The MC60 designation refers to microcassettes with a total recording capacity of 60 minutes (30 minutes per side) when used at the standard speed. The M-560V supports these tapes and offers two playback speeds
-
2.4 cm/s: Standard speed for optimal sound quality.
-
1.2 cm/s: Half the standard speed, allowing for extended recording time.
At the standard speed of 2.4 cm/s, an MC60 tape provides 30 minutes of recording per side, totaling 60 minutes. Switching to the slower speed of 1.2 cm/s doubles the recording time to 60 minutes per side, totaling 120 minutes, though with a potential decrease in audio quality.
Therefore, you can confidently use MC60 microcassettes with the Sony M-560V recorder.
