Can I just hook this up to a TV (HDMI or cables to older TV) and hear both the music and my voice? Does the record function work well?

Yes you can hook it up to an older tv and hear both music and voice . The record function is great !

Hi David, yes it records the audio as well. However I would suggest taking a look at the L2 model or the HD model

Yes, this is a non-HD device. Just for clarification you don't record from a TV, you record from a standard definition analog input source (e.g. composite [video, right audio, left audio] antenna, or cable (not 100% sure, but I think it has a cable tuner). You will hook up your TV to the DVD recorder, your TV will just function as an output device.

I don't see why not; I haven't personally tried, but I believe it will record on whatever type of media you have it (your recorder) set to record on. Goodluck!

It can record audio, it will not stream live audio...however, for 10 bucks you can get live audio, you need two things, a speaker, and an RCA splitter.... run one feed off of the splitter into the DVR, run the other to your speaker, the speaker doesn't have to have an RCA input jack, you can buy an RCA to Mini adapter and plug into any type of computer speaker ETC.... poof, live stream audio...(Note, buy amplified speakers that you plug into a wall socket, that way you have volume control)

Recorder only has HDMI upconvert output. No HDMI inputs. Has regular av cable input with option to use the s video connection. Upconvert gives a nice picture on the HDMI TV screen. If your wondering about recording in HDMI that cannot be done due to the inputs. Only records in SD but as I said the picture quality is quite nice viewing thru the HDMI output.

I don't use it for recording music, but I don't know why not. It will be likely a different quality from CDs, but still records with good sound quality. Enjoy!

I don't think so. It records just like the sound on the tv program Ihope this helps. It has been so long since I have recorded anything.

It would record properly thru the mic only. Any input via line-in was distorted. I first thought it may be the cable, but tried another cable with same results.

HDMI connection carry both the video and sound. Not being familiar with the advancement of audio receivers I can not say for certain that it will not work. Depending on the connections from your components that you have their may be a way to to do it. For me, I just connected it to the tv. Hope this helps.

yes for sound. or you can use an hdmi cable if your tv or receiver is compatible. hope this helps you.

I don't totally understand, but from how it sounds you mean a way to listen to the t.v. with headphones? I have a sampler, which is a musical device I use when I want to watch a movie late at night. you could do this with a cable from the vcr, which no one owns anymore, to a device. I would think if you had digital cable, you could do this. It's tricky if your t.v. doesn't have the stereo out jacks on the t.v. itself. this plug has been giving me troubles going from computer to stereo, the sound doesn't come through and I have to wiggle the cable, so it's been a bust for me.

It would work as a recorder, since it would connect to the TV just fine. It should work as well as it did on the component plugs going directly into the TV. The USB power is what powers the unit. It runs off the TV (if you have an USB connector there - that's what we did). It won't work without being powered by the USB connection. You can buy an adaptor that goes from the USB connection to a plug that can be plugged in, but you will need something to power it.

Not that I recommended this device - I returned it. But, which line out are you using from your receiver? Normally for this type of operation you would take the "record" line out

I have a Blue Ray with digital audio output, the video is with HDMI, but I want to connect the audio to an amplifier. It works fine with DVD and Blue Ray disks, but when I want to play a home made CD of music, it distorts with noise. The device will convert your TV output to rca, sure, but I can't tell you if you will hear noise. Is cheap, so you can try.

I assume your older system is like mine and only has old school analog red and white audio in cable ports? If so it works just as described. It takes that optical digital signal and converts to analog output. I use it and sound quality is pretty darn good.

You can plug it into another system through the headphone jack. I had mine sey up on my PC so I could make digital recordings of my tapes. You need a special sound card that takes such inputs, but it worked fine for me. Recordings could then be modified through audio editing software to make them sound good. :-) Hope this helps.
