Does this use the tiny tapes or the tiny CD's? Looking for one that takes the tiny tapes...

It uses the tapes. Quality is quite good and you can use standard editing software to make movies

It uses the MINI-DV tapes, not the CDs. With that said, though, this camera is terrible in indoor lighting. I would look for another camera (and I love Sony products).

Yes I just opened one up and there are tiny ones on each end. Tape cassettes are becoming obsolete but these seem to work in a recorder. I hope this is what you waned to hear.

Yes it plays as well ... I'm a tech dummy and had some challenges figuring out which buttons governed the cassette vs the CD playing functions, but once I got that figured out I was OK ... it's a great little machine!!

This was a gift that I sent to my mother. From what I understand, it takes normal cassette tapes.

I'm on OSX 10.9.1 and it worked perfectly to get old CD's and tapes into .mp3 format. Used Audacity - awesome!! Audacity looks bewildering at first, but is e-a-s-y to use.

Hello. I am having no luck with the CD-R's I have bought. Is there and brand that actually works in this machine? Thanks for your time, troy.

When I ordered the AGPtek, I received a USB Cassette Capture Installation CD. Perhaps Amazon can help you get another copy of the software.

Yes, it uses a mini DV tape cassette which is about 2.5 in X 1.75 in. The format is totally obsolete and I get laughed at everywhere I take my VX-2000 camera, but it works for my needs!

Hi, Sorry for the delay in responding. I love this recorder and yes you can hook up a CD player to it. Not sure why you would want to. The internal CD is of very high quality. I transferred about 100 cassettes to CD perfectly. I am going to put this recorder up for sale shortly as I do not need it any longer. Hope this information helps.

No but you can use any cd"s in it. My grand daughter loves her has it with her all the time.

I don't have this unit anymore, however my recollection is that it took mini-dvd's. When I used the camera it was easier to install a memory stick and use that. Good luck.

It uses minidv. To me it had been a major shortcoming as it has "eaten" some vital footage 3rd time using it due to time coding issues on the tape when stopping and starting frequently

Yes, it was easily downloaded off a mini disc. I've converted a couple cassettes to mp3 on my iPod. It's pretty easy to work.

Yes, you can play CD's and tapes......and play DVD's also. This system is a very good system, so I would suggest you not allow children to playn with it. You also have a radio on here. This system does just about anything.

Yes, that is true it only records from tapes. I just plug it into the wall. It has a bottom that looks like it can play on batteries, but I can not figure how to open it. It plays cd's really well and they are great to listen too.

I used two kinds. One was the music cd-r and the other was the regular cd-r. The regular one was cheaper and worked as well as the music cd-r.

I am not familiar with that machine but the one's I have just play. No erase, No record, no nothing. I would think you would neeed a computer ro Format he CD's and reload your new stuff.
