does this machine spin the record, or does the operator do so by hand? thanks

A very powerful motor spins the record. A clamp holds the record firmly in place.

The WCS actually spins the record for you. All you do is apply the cleaning fluid and apply it using the applicator as the platter spins.

Thanks for your question. The machine spins the LP. This is a fantastic cleaner. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Music Hall dealer.

Hello, Recording is rather simple with this machine. Once turned on , press record, let it initialize, press record,,again. You have to hit the stop button twice for it to stop recording. to play back hit play. Your recording should play back. I have several of these recorders and one does not playback through the recorder only through the computer. I had no problem getting the company to send a replacement.

I can not answer your question mainly because I never did learn how to operate it successfully. That recorder was the absolute worst and most complecated machine I ever owned. If you have not purchased one yet you should make the store give you at least a two week free trail in your home. You may decide to purchase a different make. Mine still worked, but was so complicated I threw it away and purchased a Panasonic.

I don't think it does. If I'm not mistaken the unit doesn't have a HDD drive on board. I don't recall a record button when looking at the operation either, but it has been a few months since my Son has used it.

Hey Maria! No the turntable doesn't do that, however; the tone arm does everything for you!! Just hit the start button and the tone arm lifts and outs it's self in place for you. When the record is done the arm does all the work again! It's very convenient!

It does, directions are straight forward. I recomend recording session and using a speaker thats connected. Do not use the one on the unit it self. When you play it back after recording you can hear so much more. All voices you hear in the moment are class A. But, you need to use judgement on radio dj interference. Trust me you will know the difference. It is pretty much plug and play. I use 3rd fastest sweep. I think it the 200 sweep.

Yes! This machine has a reverse with a push of a button. It is a great machine.

This arm DOES return to the rest by itself, it doesn't just sit on the record. But you do have to place it on the record yourself initially. It does have a cuing lever.

you don't, only way to find out is to try it out. make sure the person has a return or guarantee policy, if it works according to the instructions (which you should be able to figure out within a week) you're good. bought mine new, very good machine for home playing & recording. i use it to record vinyl dj mixes from my turntables. blank cd's for recording DO have to be MUSIC cd's & say so on the packaging. good luck...

Yes it does. It automatically records over the oldest recordings by default.

The recorder is not voice opetated. For the simplest operation, there are standard record and play buttons. If you care to get more organized by using folders, you can then also use the menu and fast forward buttons.

The machine can be peddled backwards but I am not sure about the electronic info. I don't pay attention.

Hi Gary,As I didn't use this feature I can only repeat what I see from the user guide that comes with the unit as follows."Recording to disc from the RIAA Phono Inputs" (So I think the anwser is YES)Note: Because of the background noise often experienced when playing back analog vinyl recordings, the use of the following features is not recommended in the phono recording mode even though they are available: trigger level, sync recording and automatic track division.It is also possible to perfom manual recording to disk from the RIAA Phono input source. Hope this helps. I think it is an excellent device.Maria Hi Gary,As I didn't use this feature I can only repeat what I see from the user guide that comes with the unit as follows."Recording to disc from the RIAA Phono Inputs" (So I think the anwser is YES)Note: Because of the background noise often experienced when playing back analog vinyl recordings, the use of the following features is not recommended in the phono recording mode even though they are available: trigger level, sync recording and automatic track division.It is also possible to perfom manual recording to disk from the RIAA Phono input... » Read More Hi Gary,As I didn't use this feature I can only repeat what I see from the user guide that comes with the unit as follows."Recording to disc from the RIAA Phono Inputs" (So I think the anwser is YES)Note: Because of the background noise often experienced when playing back analog vinyl recordings, the use of the following features is not recommended in the phono recording mode even though they are available: trigger level, sync recording and automatic track division.It is also possible to perfom manual recording to disk from the RIAA Phono input source.

It says that it is, but I don't know for sure. Anyways, I like the size of it. I enjoy the quality of the sound recording from the machine. The only thing I have against it, it is too complicated. I wish it was a little simpler to operate. I took me over two weeks to read the manual and try to figure out how to get it to work. I nearly gave up on it. I am still trying to understand the different tracks and how to switch from one to the other. So if anyone out there that would like to help me simplify the instructions, I would certainly appreciate it.

Hi:Hi:Yes, the process is automatic, in any case there are several options on the recording mode, the default is to overwrite. I hope this information will help ..Regards

It has a short post only capable of playing one disc at a time, but it does automatically return the tone arm to the base after the record is done and starts a record at the beginning pretty well with one button push so you don't have to handle the tone arm in case of arthritic fingers, etc.
