It does play vcr tapes. I haven't played any DVDs on it yet so I can't say if it does or not

We have only recorded from VHS to DVD. When you are recording you can watch the VHS. I don't know why you couldn't just watch VHS or DVDs. Not sure about CDs.

Yes, you can. I bought this camera for that sole purpose. I have many old tapes and they all played well.

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

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.

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.

Yes, you can record from a cassette or I would imagine you can also record from CD. My machine is new enough, I haven't done that yet. I also use the variable speed feature to slow down music for teaching dance.

Yes, you can record anything to either DVD or VCR.I have been using it to copy VCR tapes to DVD. Works very well

It plays cassette tapes and CDs. It will record from CD to cassette, but not the other way around.

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, that is true it only records from tapes. I just plug it into the wall. It has a bottom that looks like it can play on batteries, but I can not figure how to open it. It plays cd's really well and they are great to listen too.

Yes, I play commercial, pre-recorded tapes. You could also double check on the Sony web site or call customer service.

It plays old cassette tapes that are 10 to 30 years old. But not the 8 track tapes that look like a video tape. You can still buy new tapes for recording which is primarily why people buy this recorder. It is the cheapest way to record conversations or speeches. I use it for old books on tape which are still available at Half Price Books for a couple bucks.

It will play and record regular 8mm tapes only. The discription for this product is wrong. I purchased this camcorder to convert my tapes to cds but had to return because my 8mm tapes are high definition and this camcorder will not play them. I purchased another one afterwards (Sony DCRTRV350 Digital8 Camcorder) and it worked great for the high definition tapes.

No, it copies CDs and DVDs, not VHS tapes. The discs play back very well, though.

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.

No you can not record from CD to cassette tape because this model does not record. Their are Sony radios that do record though. artras@att.net
