Does this thing copy old "Copyrighted" tapes that I bought?

NO. I tried several different ones and it will not work. Other than that it's a terrific machine.

I have not done that and I don't think the acumen is set up to that, when it is finished copying the copied CD pops out and the original stays in till you eject it. So I am thinking it will not do what you want.....at least not if I am operating it cause I am electonically challenged. I chose it cause it was SIMPLE

yes it would not import to iTunes - I had to look for songs under recent downloads then drag to iTunes and if your cassette was old and warped it will sound like that warped - and for the price it was not worth but maybe 20 bucks and that is what I sold it for a week after I got it.

you can copy files, I don't know if that's the sort of duplication you're looking for.

oh gosh I wouldn't know that My machine is very old and I'm sure the tapes would work for a number of different model machines Maybe google could help

Yes, I play commercial, pre-recorded tapes. You could also double check on the Sony web site or call customer service.

Yes, I've used it to copy from a vcr. You probably can't copy copyright protected tapes though. The software with the unit should work to make a dvd disc.

My first answer of NO seems to have been published without my additional comment of : 'Not that I'm aware of. It is a simple copier: whatever is on the master CD/DVD is directly copied to the blank.'

Yes, that is how I'm using it. Obviously, when you dub vhs to dvd, it is of no use, as the copying doesn't go through the jacks, rather it is done internally. But, you can record to the DVD from a protected source and it works fine.

Yes. If they are copy protected. Nero will prevent you from copying them. If they are not (and you have permission) you will be able to copy them. The best way to find out if they are copy protected is to attempt to copy them.

You can, but keep in mind that many commercially released VHS tapes were manufactured with "copy guard" protection that prevents copying. You can't copy those. If you are going to copy non-protected tapes such as those you recorded off of TV, you should have no problem.

I am not 100% sure about your question, Robert. However, anything that is on the master you are duplicating gets copied exactly the same. The DVDs I copied were identical to the master. This is one fabulous product. It has saved me hundreds of hours. Well worth the price in terms of time saved. If you have any other questions send them along.

The duplicator cannot convert video cassette format to dvd.If the conversion has already been made and you have the disc on hand then it can be copied by the duplicator.ThanksCopystars support team

As long as the tapes are not commercial tapes. Only VHS tapes that you or someone else made. All the ones that are purchased in a store will not copy.

The original self made DvD or Cd is copied; I have not tried copying purchased discs

sorry, i am only copying unprotected documentary dvds and the cds as per the instruction booklet provided by the manufacturer; i had not noticed any other separate connection for copying other media such as off a pc terminal or even with a thumbdrive.

Yes it will. I have transferred older VHS tapes that are not available any more and it copied them all without a problem.
