Jane -Sorry, the Magnavox MDR515 does NOT record to CD's, only to DVD's. (It however plays audio CD's as well as DVD's.)To transfer audio cassette tapes to CD's, it is first necessary to convert the analog recordings to a digital format such as WAV or MP3. This is easily accomplished if you have a PC computer at home.

What about video tapes? If I attach a VCR, can I transfer my old VHS recordings onto a DVD using this DVR Recorder?

DMac -Yes. Both the MDR513 and MDR515 have 2 component inputs (L1 & L2) and S-Video inputs, plus 1 DV input (L3) for use with, for example, a camcorder.You'll find additional information and help in the following forums:http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showpost.php?p=17335390&postcount;=6936-and-http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=940657

According to my instruction manual you can record from a CD to a cassette..but not conversely!

Yes, CD to tape, tape to CD plus turntable or auxilliary unit to both. USB flash drive can be recorded on a computer and played or recorded to cassette on this machine. Or, recorded on from other sources. It's very flexible.

I have been able to play my cds and install my software from cds and dvds, so you can play them. Remember that you will need a usb port. I am very pleased with this dvd recorder.

I looked through the manual and agree with previous responders that the machine will not record to cassettes. I found the recording of LPs and cassettes to CDs to be very easy to perform and the sound quality is great.

Yes. My husband transferred some old cassette audio tapes to his hard drive with this item, and then burned a CD. Works well. Very happy with results.

It is best to record on cd-r. Also, it depends on what was recorded. Some machines cannot play certain file formars

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.

I think this is possible because the VCR has provisions for analog input. Why you would want to do this, I do not know because you cannot make disc recordings. You can only play what is saved on the hard drive.

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

I have never used this product to record CDs. My use has been exclusively with DVDs.

No, this player/reccorder can record to a CD only - meaning you can record from an LP,cassette or the radio to a CD. My brochure states: CD Recorder with Turntable/Cassette Player Margot Mc Ewen -December 1, 2012

Hi, this Sony Compact Disc Player/Recorder, doesn't support recordings from a digital recorder. -Ely

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.

It doesn't look like this is possible. The user manual shows how to record from one tape to another, from radio to tape, and from phonograph to tape, but not from CD to tape.

Hi, Sorry for the delay in responding. I love this recorder and yes you can hook up a CD player to it. Not sure why you would want to. The internal CD is of very high quality. I transferred about 100 cassettes to CD perfectly. I am going to put this recorder up for sale shortly as I do not need it any longer. Hope this information helps.
