Does the cassette have auto-reverse? Is there a clock display?

no clock display, no auto reverse. I bought the player for the cassette playing ability. BE WARNED THOUGH, my pause button broke within 2 weeks of use. I'm a transcriptionist and use the player roughly 8 hours a day, 6 days a week, so lots of use. This player does not hold up if you want to use the cassette buttons with any regularity. This is about the fifth Sony player I have broken the cassette player buttons on. The reverse button last about a month before it broke. The longest the buttons have ever lasted in once piece without breaking is about 3 months.

There is NO clock display and I'm 99% sure there is NO auto-rewind for the cassette.

No to both, but I don't use the cassette that much....have been satisfied with the unit so far....good sound

I agree with Charlie it has a sleep timer but no clock display. It is a wonderful stereo and I've used it daily for the past year with no problems. I highly recommend it.

According to this review, it does not have a Reverse function:http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R2F0VDP98UKJ90/ref=cm_cr_pr_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B001I1M95E

I believe there is a clock, but it does not display in standby, which is odd. In fact, you have to press a button to display the clock, so I rarely saw it or utilized it.

NO, it does not. You can put it in reverse and it will ratchet properly in 'reverse', but it will not sense torque and click for left-handed (reverse) threads without taking the unit apart and reversing the head. See my review.

Yes. The people saying that it doesn't have a carousel( turntable), and that it doesn't turn are incorrect. It does have a rotating carousel that works perfectly. I am not happy about the stupid clock though.I didn't notice the international time on the description, and as a result it was an unpleasant surprise. Other than that, it's a cute little microwave that works well.

The only way I can display the clock time is to turn the little power switch to off. Somebody else said there was some type of screen saver that reverts back to the clock when listening to the radio. I haven't discovered how to do this yet. It's frustrating not seeing the Clock display while listening to the various stations. Otherwise I love this radio. I think a techie designed the clock rather then talking to regular users.

This doesn't play cassettes. The mechanism that rotates the CD's is extremely noisy and it quit working within 6 months

Yes, the left cassette machine records. It's a great unit, allowing myself to play all of my old homemade cassettes from the last 40 years and making some really good new ones too.

I thought the bottom icon on the wheel controls reverses. I hope that helps

Yes, it has a reverse setting (very easy to use- just push button). It does not have variable speeds.

Could not get to work because auto reverse would keep clicking back and forth. The tape deck (most cassette decks) has auto reverse that would change direction of tape (instead of physically removing tape, flipping over, reinserting) when sensed tape was tight.

sorry - using with iPhone - sounds good but can hear the typical cassette noise but not too badly. Also, because my 2002 chevy has auto reverse in the case. player, I had to remove the round grommet from inside the monster cassette

Generally a tape has two side that you will listen to so it inevitably rewinds the front side while you play the back.But even if it only has one side with audio (front) you can still just flip the cassette and fast forward the opposite side (back).

I read in one of the reviews that it does not. You have to manually flip the cassette. This is according to a reviewer here on Amazon.

I am not sure what you mean by auto shut off. When it comes to the end of the cassette tape, it just flips to the beginning of the other side. That is why I like it. When I am working out, the reverse side comes up by operation of the walker.

No, it does not. It shows the seconds as well as the hours and minutes, though. But no clock feature.
