can it be used without plugging it into TV? If I want to sign along to a tune recorded on a regular CD?

Yes, you can use it alone with a regular CD and just sing-along. A side note, the microphone is the controller and that is confusing to our daughter who accidentally pushes the buttons all the time (she is six) I would say it is for an older age group. But it is a cool little machine :)

Hello,Sorry, I do not know. I just gave it as a gift to my niece but as far I know she is very happy with it.Arturo

Sorry, but I can't help you. I gave the Singing Machine as a gift. Idon't know if the kids ever took it out of the box!

You can only set the programmer to record the channel your external tuner is set to. You need a digital converter or cable/satellite box to pump a channel into this unit.Also, dont plan on using this to burn DVDs. This only records to VHS tapes.

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

Though I've never tried it, there is a record button on there so I assume it can record. It's Tunerless, therefore there is no direct connection from the cable. You have to use the A/V connection, Yellow/Red/White

There is no RF input, so it will not record off the cable. You could record with another device that included a tuner, such as an old VCR, but it would be cumbersome.

I suppose you could, but the sound quality would likely poor. This was meant more for voice recording. All the noise that comes with live music would be very distorted.

No. Just switch the mode to something different (like cassette vs CD). My son falls asleep at night to a CD. When it's over & he's asleep, I switch the mode to tape. That pretty much powers it down since I'm not playing a tape.

I don'really know about the formatting question. It plays some home made cd's but not others. It doesn't have an amp and will require a Receiver or external amp.

Yes indeed! insert the CD blank as usual, then press the radio button, tune in your station as if you were going to just listen and press record. Note you are not recording to the disc yet, when what you wish to record comes up, press the button just left of the record button and the recording is begun. To stop when you are through and ready to finalize the CD, press the 2nd button to the left of the record button. Then press thefinalize button, then the button just left of the record button. When the process is complete, the CD will automatically eject.

No. This devise is strictly for TVs, perhaps some radios, recorders and the like. It has to be plugged in. Sorry

you might be able to plug it into your tv with a xlr to rca patch cable and if you have a mixer board you can use the rca audio output on it to do this

I believe that you can since since the source can be a cd, tape or external device. The "record to" options are USB and tape. I haven't done this but it should be doable. This unit is not a CD burner so you can't record to CD.

Yes. The CD Recorder has RCA Jack inputs. Plug the audio output from your cable box into the input of the CD Recorder and you can record to CD.

I have not explored the option but from my installing it, it does not seem possible without an external recording device from the output on the device.

You can plug it straight into your computer or iDevice. Both will recognize it and let you record without any additional equipment.

John:I bought this unit for my husband for Christmas and I just checked with him. He said that you can record directly from the TV into this unit. If you want to save the program after you have watched it, you need to save it to a disc while recording or once you watch it, it automatically deletes

you could and it would work , but I don´t know about the quality of the recording since that is only for monitoring purposes. If there is line out in your keyboard I would use that
