It is a player but does not record. Not for the basic beginner but advanced electronics you might translate easier.

The Magnavox MWD2206 is a DVD player but a VCR, that is, a VHS recorder. It will record on tape but not record on a DVD, it only plays DVD. Also remember this unit does not have a digital tuner so no recording free TV from your antenna. No one makes these DVD/VCR combos anymore so you have to buy either used or refurbished. Either way you have to get lucky to get one that works without any problems. I have had my best luck with the TOSHIBA units. The TOSHIBA DVR660 or DVR670 both record on DVD and have digital tuners to record free TV off your antenna.

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

This model does NOT allow recording to discs because the DVD player on this model is not a recorder; but, the VCR should record to VHS tapes. I have used off-brand VCR/DVR combinations, although each has stopped working almost immediately (probably because many of the inside parts come from the same few factories). Maybe not what you were hoping to read, but it'll cut down on frustration from trying something this machine cannot do. You will also have problems recording from discs to tapes since "store-bought" discs have copy protection. If you are looking to purchase a disc recorder, be sure to note which types of discs they can use for recording. Some discs can be recorded to several times (like a cassette tape). Others are like vinyl records and may only be recorded to one time. Plus (+) and minus (-) signs determine future playability, too. Talk with a salesperson at an electronics shop (like H. H. Gregg) or the electronics section of a department store (such as Sears). I like discounts, but often a trained salesperson is worth buying from so you don't end up with less (or more) than you'd bargained for--at least until you really understand the differences between models.

What I do is play the file i want to record in and as it is playing I hit the record button and what I then record is added to the end of the recording itself. It sounds seamless when it is played back.

I havent used it a lot to record but i think it records individually. I will check it put and will update this answer if needed.

On a home recorder the different discs provide different record features and playback options. Also, the manufacturer of the unit probably has a preferred type and record speed that they recommend. For computer work and data both types have worked for me as long as they're a name brand like Sony or Verbatim.

It means it has nonvolatile memory on which it stores the recording. However, most people would assume that means you can connect the unit to a computer and upload the recording. You can't! You can play them back analog, but the digital is not accessible from the outside world. It also uses up the batteries really fast, and loses the time when you change them. Even if you change the batteries in 2 seconds, it loses the time and forces you to set that up all over again. So keep the instructions with you at all times for the rest of your life.

There is no recording device at all on this machine. Very deceptively advertised. It can play records, play CDs, and play tapes. That is it. I gave mine away. Very disappointed.

I haven't had any problems with mine, but it is a cheap portable record player that is very convenient for sampling used records before purchase. That's all I use mine for.

NO! It is NOT! Once turned on it records until the battery runs down. You have to listen throught hours od "dead air" to hear anything relevant. And since it is shipped from China, it is not worth returning for a refund! I was extremely disappointed...

I actually returned the item, but to answer your question, no. The item is about the size of a paperback book and it only looks like a record player.

It's not a recorder. This is a device that connects your phone to a digital recorder. Whatever recorder you are using then connects to your PC. I've used this for over a year and I am very happy with it.

Bud Bundy is right, it is personal preference and also what works best if you intend on playing recorded disks on another player. I use the -R and -RW disks, because this format is more compatible with most DVD players - especially if you have an older one you want to play your recordings on. Eventhough the -R can only be recorded once, I'll use it for things I want to keep and have no intention of recording over. The -RW I use for everyday use and a good quality disk is supposed to allow you at least 2000 recordings. I hear Verbatims are very good quality, but I've been using Maxell & Memorex , because that's what I had on hand. Has worked excellent for me.

I haven't figured that out yet. My problem is I haven't read the instructions. I like things that are fairly simple, turn on play or record. I will be taking the time on my time off this week to figure it out. Sorry I do not have an answer for you. V/R Jackie

I haven't used it yet, but I do see that one of the apps on it is "Sound Recorder" so I would assume so. I just have no use for it so I have not opened it. By they way, this is an AWESOME machine. I just love mine.

NO! Is a matter of fact it froze up my player for a couple of minutes and I had to reset it to factory settings just to get it back to normal. I was trying to listen to a book recorded on MP3 format. Actually, it's a picky machine and also it's a discontinued unit so good luck if it messes up on you.
