Won't the needle scratch my CDs? Or is there a special adapter you need to play CD / DVD?

Only plays DVDs on tube tv's. Also, only plays them them in black and white.

Since everyone is enjoying, go with an ELP laser turntable. Internet search for that and be amazed. Play your records like they ARE CD's. Wild!

Being from the Old School era, these questions and answers absolutely made my day, no, my entire year. I laughed until I cried. Thank you to all who answered these questions for giving my 70 year old father and I a lifetimes worth of entertainment.

A simple laser pointer taped to the stylus will allow play of CD's / DVD's. However, do not attempt with Blu ray as this will not work.

I attempted to play my DVD on it and it FAILED. There is an adapter you can buy to convert your CD's into great sounding LP's, but this requires much effort and concentration. I suggest closing your eyes and listening very carefully to your player when the CD is playing and you will hear sound produced very similar to your desired music.

Trying to play CDs on your turntable will create special noises which will result in severe bowel dysfunction and possibly, demonic possession. Do not attempt.

I would just get one on Amazon or eBay. I would google "Craig Turntable" and "replacement needle" or something along those lines. The Craig record player I got came with an extra one. Sorry I didn't have more info

About this comment; "CD's sound decent but near as good as a system meant to play them"...is there a device I might purchase to play CDs on this system so that they sound great...not just decent?

Haven't tried making CD's yet, but I do know I can that it works on my MAC and I can play DVD's. I have an old MAC that runs on OS X. I guess you can try it, I would.

Try plugging in to an open spot in the audio section. Is your "CD" section unused? Plug into the white and red RCA-type plugs. Just remember which section you use when you want to play your turntable! Good luck! No guarantees, Lol!

I have it hooked up to my Sony audio/video/component tuner. It plays CDs beautifully.

I have been able to play my cds and install my software from cds and dvds, so you can play them. Remember that you will need a usb port. I am very pleased with this dvd recorder.

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, can't help with your question. It didn't work - right out of the box - with any CD (store-bought or burned) - - - so I immediately returned it.

There is a place on the CD player so one can use an outlet instead of batteries to play it, but I personally haven't used it yet because I presently don't have such an adapter and haven't felt the need for one. Hope this helps.

Perhaps you are talking about a vinyl disc. You will need a turntable connected to the computer and appropriate software. I have used Wave Corrector for this for years, works great. If you have scratched CDs, the best I have found is Exact Audio Copy, which is free and does the best job possible reading the CD. I don't use any other tool, just give up on tracks that are too badly damaged. However, if the scratches are on the bottom (plastic), some sort of buffer might help. Rinsing with tap water or rubbing with thumb OUTWARD ALONG RADIUS, can help get rid of gunk. If the scratches are in the top, through the coating and into the aluminum, it's toast. None of these functions really have anything to do with the audio card, unless it has some software for this (which I don't use). CDs are fairly robust, having good error correction, so even with errors from EAC, you may get a usable recording. (Not so with DVD, where I understand they ripped out error correction to get more space.) Hope this helps - Pete

Hello Oscar,You are completely right.You can surely conect any externa source of sound , you just need RCA outputs at your source device or any kind of output with the adapter cable.I have my audio player connected with the "mini jack" to RCA cable and it works great, so your CD player will work as well.Hopefully you will have as much fun with this "baby", as I have. GREAT sound .Regards.Marek

The Gemini Doctor himself says that you need a CD player as an audio source.... what is this world coming to? You're actually going to need a full blown record player as a source, as digital is for losers. Digital isn't really for losers, it just seems like there's no reason to get an analog amp if you're going to use a digital source. Generally analog people don't like their signal being converted back and forth and losing some of that sweet, sweet warmth to the digital mittleman. Sure you could use a .flac recording that's "lossless" but is it really? I'd rather not find out and spin the black circle when I want a really rich music listening experience and leave that .mp3 malarky for when I'm on the go. From here on out you won't find me without my record player in my place of residence. Anyway, you're going to need 1) a record player 2) records to play on that record player 3) speakers or headphones 4) this device or something that accomplishes the same task

It will clean the grooves thoroughly due to dirt. Pops and hissing due to static needs and additional item. 3 sets of cleaning have cleaned problematic 200 GR discs for me. Scratches that have been "blended" in and are not too rough or seep will become playable. I have a $2600 cartridge that sees NOTHING but prime vinyl.

Hi Liz I returned 2 of them. The first one the cd did not work then the next nothing worked. Im sorry to tell you but you do need to return it. Also if you use the recordplayer and it has the scratches and on the cd it will sound just like that. It sounds tinny. So Sorry to tell you this but i had no luck with it. 2sassyjay@comcast.net

My cd player/radio/tape player has a 'mic' adapter plug and I plug it into that. It works fine.

You can get a micro USB (male) to USB (female) adapter from Amazon for about $6 and add external devices. I am formatting a DVD thru an external drive via the adapter right now. You can access your music CD's and rip to Music.
