Will cassette play or record automatically when power is turned on?

No...Like any other machine, you have to hit play or record with it in the correct mode. The instruction book is very clear.

I actually do not know. Mine records all the time when power applied. I have it set to record for 3 minutes and then start over for another 3 minute clip. Check your settings and the micro chip you installed. Is it still powered up when it stops recording? You could also have a malfunctioning unit.

It plays a cassette so that you can convert the content of the cassette to a computer file. So, no it does not record.

It will play any standard cassette tapes whether they are prerecorded or some you may have recorded.

Yes, it powers on and begins recording when the record button is held down for a few seconds.

No, this recorder doesn't have such function. Click "on" and it will start recording only

Yes -- that is why I purchased the Panasonic Recorder/player -- to play old cassettes. My previous Sony player was worn out, and this one works perfectly (so long as your cassettes are in good condition).

absolutely. power it up first, then hook the power up, follow the prompts on the screen and you are ready to go. if video taping, push the record button once and it will give you a display before you tape. side note, i am the singer in a rock band and it video and audio records outstanding for an inexpensive device. i also bought the remote. works great.... hope this helps johnd

Hello......Yes, this plays cassettes too...I also have a large collection of them that I don't want to give up, so this fits the bill!

It will turn itself off after not being used (connected to a device) for a short time. I found it to be a pain, because my tape deck was behind the motorized front of the the stereo and I'd have to take it out and turn it back on whenever I would stop for a few minutes.

As far as I could tell, it doesn't compensate automatically. There is a manual control that lets the user change the tape speed by small increments, up to + or -10 percent, for playback. The user manual says the switch doesn't work during recording. It doesn't say whether you can change the setting while a tape is playing. They do warn you not to have any slack in the tape.

Yes, it turns on and starts recording as soon as it gets power (from USB or cigarette lighter outlet).

Hi, I doubt it. You have to plug a cassette into the cassette recorder...good luck.

It starts recording when power is supplied. Works great if your lighter socket is not powered when the key is off, otherwise you may want to hard wire it to an switched accessory tap on your fuse box.

Basically yes. I found it very flaky to operate. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it would not. i is a very cheaply made devise and after about 6 cassettes it broke and i had to throw it away. My advise to you is DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY

Yes since the unit would have to be in the recording mode you should be able to play. You can play a cassette without recording so a record should be no different. The output on my unit goes thru an amplifier
