Can't help you. Mine didn't even play and record button broke right away. Sent it back.

I ordered sic of them for my research lab and 5 of them do the stupid rapid speed thing. Sending them back... :(

I actually threw mine out - I couldn't get any more than one volume level. I thought the time and postage was not worth it. Now that I see your issue - it should be pulled off the Amazon line. I can usually trust Amazon.

I don't have that problem, but I was looking for a speed control on mine and can not find one. First thing to do is try another tape. It could be that the tape your trying to play back was recorded on a high speed, and therefore will only playback on the shoebox the speed that the shoebox plays at and for that reason you will hear a rapid speed playback. The tape could also be old and defected. If that fails to resolved your problem, then you will have to return it. I hope this is a help, and sorry I could not help you more.

I'm sure you have returned this by now, but I will answer any how to maybe help someone else. Speed control is internally controlled by a potentiometer (POT) for adjustability. You have to open the thing up to get to it. I had a unit that was playing in rapid speed as well, intermittently. I took it apart and this 500ohm POT was defective. I ended up replacing the POT with one I had at work along with three small wires going to where the factory POT mounted. The POT I replaced it with was not the same size. It fixed my problem and now it plays at normal speed.

Not sure if this will be any help since you left out any detail on your hardware, but I did have a problem when I hooked up a ROKU box because the ROKU "Settings"->"Audio Mode" default settings were "Surround". There was no soundtrack at this point, only something that sounded like static. So I changed the "Audio Mode" to "Stereo" which worked. From this result I am guessing that the Convertor box can also output digital sound, not just analog but I did not test this assumption as it did not matter for my application. Also the application (Netflix,etc) settings needed changing.

I sincerely regret that I must admit being totally ignorant of the craig cmp646f mp3 player. If I had this problem I would connect the RCA Phono jacks to the audio and video inputs of the TV. Generally yellow is video, white is monoral audio. Then plug other end of the cable into the MP3 player. Select the audio/video input on the TV. and see what happens. If it does not work, then reverse the Audio and Video connections. If it still does not work you have proven it does not work, else you can enjoy you videos on a large screen TV.

I had the same issue you are trying to get to here... I used the USB input as that comes directly from the computer's pre-amp audio.. much better than RCA idea;What happened though?.. because the USB ports are very unstable and noisy, the sound was messed up, inconsistent. The solution was to get an USB port decrapifier, and I found WYRD made by Schiit Audio. Excellent product, gives me a sound similar to the one coming from my Tascam CD player.If you need details about this, let me know.

Also check tv settings. Is it digital or analog audio? My tv has digital input that needed a converter. I used old minidisc recorder. There is also standalone converters for around $80 iirc.

RCA audio input on TV is fed the red and white RCA audio output of the little box - that's it, the TV will play the audio signal.The question is does the TV have the 3rd RCA input [YELLOW] for video RCA yellow plug from the little box?????If so you, are set to go.....ALSO IF NEW BLURAY PLAYER HDMI HOOKED TO TV HDMI DOES NOT ALLOW AUDIO SIGNAL TO PASS, PERHAPS HDMI CABLE OR BLURAY OR TV IS DEFECTIVE.....TRY TO DO SOME CHECKING.

I bought this box last month, but when running XBMC LiveTV video and audio are not paired. The audio is ahead from the picture. When I Run Movies From stream channels it works awesome. I have 24 mbps internet speed, Does any one knows why it does that?

I bought this a few months ago but have so far not been able to connect as it has no RCA connections. Should get XLR cables soon, so if you are not in a hurry, I can give you some feed back shortly (next 2 weeks)

I would either contact the seller you bought it from, OR ... contact RCA directly. Best of luck.

I wonder if anyone has found a remedy for this. MAybe a higher quality needle? I like the unit, but I want it to play records. It won't play 4 out of 5 of the ones I've tried.

Sorry, I don't have an answer other than to say I would contact RCA!! Good old name, and probably with some answers.

Thanks.. I was searching for "av-in" jack as you quoted. It's weird that they wouldn't have that in both models. Are you sure it's not in the other? Amazon has a tendency to leave out tech specs here and there.Also, RCA inputs would only produce substandard results. Too bad they don't have, at the very least, S-video input.

No. I bought this player also and soon found out the same. Return it if you can.

It is not normal, that is not coming from this product. Without troubleshooting your specific system, I would think your Video Receiver is out of adjustment. I would call the tech line of the maker of your Receiver.

Exact same thing just happened to me. I'm disappointed since there are so many great reviews, and this looks like a great CD player. But mine must be defective. Sending back to amazon today
