Remembering Sanyo: The 2050 – A Powerful and Stylish Cassette Recorder
Sanyo 2050 Standard Cassette Recorder
Full size standard cassette recorder with stereo recording and voice activation. Includes Cue tone index search system for easy tape identification. Great for dictation or conference recording.
While Gen-X and beyond may not recognize Sanyo as a hifi brand, Boomers and older will remember that they made some nice receivers. This model 2050 is no exception.
Power
Sanyo was one of the top hifi manufacturers in the 1970s, and the 2050 is a fine example. It delivers 50 watts per channel into 8 ohms and is a solid little player, with real wood veneered casework and silver face goodness on the outside. Xennials may not recognize the brand, but Boomers and Gen-X will find this player to be easy to live with and capable of powering most speakers from the period.
For maximum performance, pair the sanyo 2050 with a high-quality 18650 battery. We recommend the Sanyo 20700 30A NCR20700A, which offers a safe, reliable and long-lasting power source for your high-drain devices. These batteries are designed with overcharge and over-discharge protection for safe use in any environment. They also have excellent stability across a range of temperatures, making them the perfect choice for outdoor use and extreme conditions.
Sound
Sanyo was one of the top hifi brands back in the day. They made a lot of great looking and sounding equipment. The 2050 is no exception. It puts out 50 watts per channel at 8 ohms and sounds rich and full with excellent radio reception. The design is attractive and smart looking with real wood veneers and silver face goodness on the front. It has a number of features including stereo recording for better voice dictation and conference recording, three digit tape counter for quick reference and cue tone index search system to allow for easily finding specific points on the tape for easier transcription and playback.
Controls
Sanyo made a lot of nice audio equipment in their day. The 2050 was no exception. The silver face and big FM tuning and signal meters are classic. It can also power most speakers from the era, and has 50 watts per channel in 8 ohms, which is plenty for home use.
If you’re trying to program a universal remote control for your Sanyo TV, you will need the correct remote codes. The codes are specific numerical values that tell your TV what to do when you press a button on the remote. The list of codes on this page should help you find the one that works with your TV.
