I can't get the record button to depress, along w/ the play button UNLESS there's no cassette in it, and then, only sometimes. Am I missing something?

This is not a good recorder. I would return for a refund. It do not pick up audio good at all.

Hi, actually the Auto / Manual Track button did not work so it wouldn't record. I sent it back. But I am thinking of trying a new one because it really is a nice unit.

Sorry, but I haven't reached that point yet. But I'm guessing when memory storage has been reached, it won't record any more. I'm still getting more familiar with mine but so far have been very pleased with it. I use my "antique" recorder as a backup.

Hello, button on the left has to be on tape, insert the tape, make sure your tape is rewound to the left, hit the play button and you will see a light on the front display if all is well. Turn up the volume, so you know for sure. Works great for me. Good luck.

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.

The rare times the light wouldnt blink for me was because the stick was full or defected. The other times I had to remove and re insert the cassette or push stop and record a few times and hold the light button down a few seconds (dont know why that worked).

I have been using it now for over a month and it will not play on the B side of the cassette only the a side. My cassette player will only except the cassette with one direction with the wire sticking out. Previous one I've owned allowed the wire to come from either side that might be your problem. Hope this helps

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 don't have that problem, but I was looking for a speed control on mine and can not find one. First thing to do is try another tape. It could be that the tape your trying to play back was recorded on a high speed, and therefore will only playback on the shoebox the speed that the shoebox plays at and for that reason you will hear a rapid speed playback. The tape could also be old and defected. If that fails to resolved your problem, then you will have to return it. I hope this is a help, and sorry I could not help you more.

Hello, Recording is rather simple with this machine. Once turned on , press record, let it initialize, press record,,again. You have to hit the stop button twice for it to stop recording. to play back hit play. Your recording should play back. I have several of these recorders and one does not playback through the recorder only through the computer. I had no problem getting the company to send a replacement.

The record player was defective and was only able to play 45 rpm records which are like singles. Small records. It plays old cassettes. Like I said it was defective and it was unable to play CDs. But I was able to transfer record or small records into USB device in front console. Which you are able to transfer into computer and mp3 or phone .

Hmmm...usual options first. Make sure needle isn't damaged, player is on flat surface, records are clean, etc. I honestly haven't had any issues with mine and I use it at least once a day. And it sits on a djembe drum! Worst case scenario you may have to trade it in for a new one.

if the volume is turned down, you can barly here the cassette turning. this might be cause the player is really old. when the volume is up and i do not listen to loud music, you cant hear the player at all. sound from the audio is great and i would recomend to anyone.

I didn't re-record the one I rec'd because of the print on the button (meant it wouldn't work for what I wanted). The sound that was already recorded on it sounded fine to me.

Both the CD player and Cassette player have pause buttons, they both work, although on some occasions when I've paused a CD and than resume play it will be on the same track (song) that I paused it on but it will be in a different spot in the song, usually a few seconds ahead of where it was paused, no big deal though.

I would say your tapes are bad or your player has a problem. It's only an adapter.

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.
