I have been trying to record from an audio cassette tape to a CD with no result. What am I missing.??

Sorry, I haven't tried that feature. I hope to do so in the future. Why don't you try to call Innovative Technologies? They have been helpful to me in the past.

Here's hoping this is clear to you and that I didn't miss anything ... To begin, make sure you have the right type of CD. Make sure it's CD-R or CD-RW. Enter cassette tape and insert CD. (the CD will automatically pause). Press record button on remote (remember it's still paused and not running yet). Play cassette to read the record volume). The audio track needle will fluctuate right and left, so push either the up and down record button on remote to around zero, this is where I start though it still will move some. At this time I rewind the cassette tape to the beginning. Now begin the cassette and during the lead (before the first selection) push "play-pause button ( &gt;" ) on the remote to begin the CD. It should now be recording. If you want the tracks identified you press the "track increment" button between each song. It will record side A on the cassette. When finished push play-pause button on the remote for the CD. Eject cassette and flip over for side B and hit the play-pause button again and the CD will continue to record. When the CD stops, press the finalize button and FiN-d will be displayed. Press the play-pause button and the word busy will appear on the screen as it is now finalizing. When finished the CD will eject automatically. Let me know if you have any further problems and hopefully I can address them.

Learned from the TEAC engineers you will receive an error message unless you use one of these three specific brands of music CD blanks to record on: TDK, Sony, or Verbatim. Must be these brands and it must be just for music recordings. Had to order them on-line. Good Luck. MMF-Lacombe, LA

I have to agree with what Eric said, I've done tape player recordings and they came out pretty good. I have a tape player that I plugged into the Sound Card, I tweaked the recording adjustments and it came out great. You can do so much with the card, I'm just a tinkerer and it was easy to use. I mostly use my card for playing music, gaming and chatting on-line.

I don't believe so. My instructions include only recording from a cassette, record, or radio to CD.

Yes, you can copy from cassette to CD. You can also record from CD to cassette. Unless you monitor the recording process when recording from cassette or LP records you lose search capabilities on the CD. By default, the recorder will record the side 1 of the cassette as the first item (song) on the CD and side 2 of the cassette as item 2 (song). Thus you end up with a CD with 2 songs on it; song 1 contains the entire side one of the cassette and song 2 contains the entire side 2 of the cassette. With a commercially produced CD you can go to any song on the CD using your players search function. Unless you monitor your recording process to stop and start recording after each song you will not be able to effectively use the search capability. By stopping and restarting recording after each song you restore search capability and your CD will be searchable just like the commercially produced CDs. This is the only shortcoming that I have discovered with the TEAC CD recorder. It is of sturdy design and well crafted. I have hundreds of LP albums and cassettes to transfer to CD. So far the unit has operated flawlessly. My CDs play on everything I've tried providing I don't forget to finalize the CD after recording; a very simple process. If you don't finalize the disc it can still be played on the TEAC unit. You can even add more material to the CD. Once the CD is finalized you can no longer record on it. I hope this answers your concerns. I would not hesitate to buy this unit again. I did a lot of research prior to finding the TEAC LP-R550USB CD Recorder. I am convinced that this recorder is the best value on the market, both cost wise and ease of use.

There is no record option with a tape nor does it have a cd burner. It does have a headphone jack so a computer hookup may work.

I've taken material off a cd and transferred it to an mp3. Seems like all the other recording stuff should work.I've mostly used it for word stuff and have found out that the Microsoft Office that comes with it is inadequate...Microsoft office 2003...that won't work with a lot of stuff - like it won't open a lot of newer powerpoint or excel files. So...the low price isn't that good if you factor that you'll most likely have to but the later Microsoft office stuff - because on the Microsoft site they tell you they will not support the 2003 stuff much longer. Buyer Beware

Sorry I won't be able to completely answer your question as I am out of town, returning next Wednesday. The unit was purchased to copy cassette tapes to CD's. I have the unit connected to my receiver and can monitor the tape being recorded to cd, and can play back the cd. I do not believe speakers can be connected directly to the unit. The unit would have to have an AUX input to do the vinyl LP thing and since I am away, I cannot verify that feature. I can check it when I return if that's any help. My email is rcrector@verizon.net if you haven't found an answer by next Wednesday.......Ron Sorry I won't be able to completely answer your question as I am out of town, returning next Wednesday.

Sorry I can't comment on its recording quality since I only have knowledge of the quality of sound when playing pre-recorded cassettes. You can always give it a try and return it via Amazon's return policy if you're not happy with the quality of recorded sound. Amazon is most gracious with its return policy. Good luck!

Although I haven't specifically recorded cassette tapes to CD yet with this Tascam, it does have analog left and right audio inputs so it should definitely work. This recorder is really great with converting all formats to CD, and the CD's are then playable on all other machines. I'd totally recommend it!!

I record from my music library in my computer (which takes CD-R). I know that CD+R is sold also, but I don't know anything about that. I record the disc placed into my computer and this blank CD works perfectly; however, if you are recording from a device connected to a CD changer, the disc needed is called "Audio Digital."

It doesn't have a direct cassette to CD recording option. However you can play them back on it and record to a PC, digital recorder, or an external CD recorder using the analog audio jacks. I record directly to a Sony PCM-10 digital recorder mainly into MP3 format. If I do need a CD, then I record to PC and burn from there. Some like the all in one, but often they don't have the best audio quality or converters in them.

No, I only have a cd player. It doesn't have a cassette player on the unit to record.

I am sure you can. Just take the output RCA's (red+white) and put them into you disc recorder's input. I have been transferring all my cassettes to my stand alone CD disc recorder. I also have been transferring most of my cassettes to my stand alone DVD-R recorder... because my cassettes are 90m, 100m and 110m long and of course all you can put on a CD is 80m. So I can put 3 cassettes (split them up with indexes on the DVD) on each DVD-R. The only problem is you can't play them in a CD player, but they can play in all DVD players and most computers, and if it is something you really want on a CD you can make CD's as well.

Yes you can. The unit comes with an easily understood user manual that explains in detail how to record music from both the USB and CD outputs to your cassette recorder.

You can record with cassette player, the problem I found was that it took a while to play. For some unknow reason, the system was slow. Sorry, I can't tell you more because I returned the system.

I have a Dell with Windows 7 but found it fairly simple to use. Just put the CD in the drive and connect your tape player to the microphone jack on the side. Then follow the directions given. I have learned that my tape player (an old boom box) needs to have its volume really low in order to get the best quality recording. After recording is finished you are able to edit the beginning and ending to cut off any blank sound. You can also split something into multiple tracks. I have yet to learn how to enhance sound but really I am using it primarily to convert books on tape to MP3 for my classroom listening center. From this format you can easily burn to CD.
