You're right. Also, it's of very poor quality and I would not recommend it.Ed Ford

Perhaps I am too simplistic, but I think the obvious answer is that since you can only record to a CD, the output is Digital. You cannot record to the tape or phonograph portions of the unit.

this isn't a digital recording system so you would still need a recording device. I don't think this is a good choice if you're trying to set up a recording system from scratch.

I tried that with my recorder, and it really is not set up to be used that way.

What is the nature of your question? Are you going to buy one or do you already own one?The one I have does not seem to be able to record. I have tried several times and failed in every case. The unit apparently has recording software that can be accessed but not engaged. I think I hear a hard drive spinning... It could be a lack of ability on my part but I don't think so. There have been computers, digital cameras and assorted other electronic gadgets in my life for 15 years. - Lars

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

I had the same problem. NO this camera will only play digital recordings. I wound up buying an old camera to play my analog tapes and used it to transfer my analog tapes to DVD's. cheaper in the long run.

It is normal for this and all portable digital recorders I can think of to go into Pause when you first press Record (you have to press Record a second time or else press Play during the Record-Pause--either work with this device). However, if the time counter actually shows that recording has begun by counting up the seconds and THEN the recorder pauses, that is a problem. Would not call it junk if that is the problem. These devices are miniature computers, and Quality Assurance might only be sampling build lots instead of stress-testing every unit in this price range. I have found this recorder to meet my needs as a good recorder of spoken word. (I did not buy it for recording live music.)

Dear DMG. You are doing everything right. I am a PI and this device is my backup I carry for just-in-case-have-to-record situation. I have listened to it using all the players on my computer. These Chinese made systems are binary: they either work and are great or you send it back for a new one and hope the new one works! I had to send back THREE pen video recorders before I got one that worked!

No, it is a MP3 *player*/radio. It doesn't say anything about recording. If you want to record from this radio, you might search for a recording device and a cable to plug it in to the stereo headphone output.

No, it's not DVD recorder. It's a combo of DVD player and VCR (VHS recorder and player).

This is not a dvr...it's a camera. The recorder you choose will determine if it uses motion activation or continuous record.
1992564
No, it is not a digital receiver. It just translates co-ax to RCA video/audio and vice versa.

This does record from the radio or ambient sounds. This is what I need if for and it does so adequately for my needs.

Yes, audio recording has its own on/off function. But overall, I don't recommend this device.
1689444
no, it's basically a thumb drive when USB is connected, must disconnect USB to use as recorder,

No. This is a preamplifier and not a digital-to-analog converter. The USB is intended to connect to your computer that utilizes Audacity or any other audio editing software to record your vinyl to either your hard drive or your MP3 player like the iPod. For its price, it's a very good preamplifier from a reliable time-tested company like Rega.
