is this a fully automatic player? Or do you have to lift the arm at the end of the record and also place the arm on the record to start play?

I didn't like this stereo, it didn't play the record to the end. The sound wasn't that good either. Yes is automatic.

I'm sorry, I only use it to play records. I know it worked to begin with but haven't used that feature since I bought itl.

Not sure, it seems that the arm is not heavy enough. I rubber-banded a couple of pennies around the "head" of the arm. It may look less attractive, but it works. I have not had a record skip since.You may want to try to get a replacement player if you do not wish to alter the arm yourself. I also advise that with being more weight on the needle that the records may become more damaged than normal use. Last note, let us all thank the gov't for still making pennies.

Hi Lauren, please note complete operating instructions are available on the Sony website. To play continuously you must press the button "continue" once for 1 disc and twice for all discs. Same applies for the "shuffle" option. Hope this helps.

Yes it plays automatically for all of the loaded discs in the tray in sequence. You can also individual discs to play. The following was taken from the Basic Playback section of the manual: 1 Press STANDBY/ON on the front panel. 2 Press OPEN/CLOSE / on the front panel to open the disc loading tray. 3 Place the chosen discs in the tray, printed side up. 4 Press PLAY. &#10140;The disc tray closes and playback starts automatically for all of the loaded discs in the tray in sequence.

It's manual, that is, the arm doesn't lift at the end of the record. I forget what the surface is made of because I returned it. Too much skipping and skating. I don't recommend it. I got an "ION" from Best Buy. It's slightly more expensive but MUCH better and I've had no problems.

I don't have the record player anymore. It was a very good player; very clear sound. I used to play my old 78's on it. But it was a nuisance to keep changing the records. So I am currently looking for a "stackable" record player. Unfortunately, Crosley no longer makes the stackable players. I will now search on E-Bay. DAME HILDA VAN WINKLE

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.

No, this is motion activated, not push button play. Also you must download simple software to record to it. Simplistic technology. Fun but not very effective or easy to change recordings

Does the player have an automatic return to stop when the record is finished?

The controls for the cassette are on the top. the button on the side has to be on tape. The buttons on the front are for the cassette. That's crazy!! I haven't played mine in awhile and I just tried it and it plays them awfully slow so I won't use it until I find out why it does that!! When I first got it I thought it played pretty good. Also make sure the tape is up and not down. Good luck, hope this helped you. Barb

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.

It has a switch that you move from record to play...ours went in stuffies as well and we haven't had any issues so far...

For the arm, there is a lever which can be used to raise or lower the arm however you must physically move the arm to where you want to place the needle and then lower it using the lever. Same with when the record is finished playing, you must use the lever to raise the arm, at which time the arm does automatically return to its resting place and then you can then use the lever to lower it back down.

Yes, it plays records nicely. One side at a time, one record at a time. I have mine plugged in to an old pair of external stereo speakers and it sounds great.

Output is RCA with a ground. There is no USB. There is also no built-in pre-amp. I purchased one also made by Pyle and it works great. Only negative to this player I've found is that it does not have an auto-return for the arm when the record is done playing. Had I known this, I probably would have shelled out a bit more for one that does, as the previous players I've used have had this feature... perhaps it's not common in "professional" players?
