yes and it has a microphone so it can record conversations or lectures, as long as you don't run out of memory that is. great little machine for the price!

No. Software has to be installed on a computer in order to record from the unit. Great unit otherwise.

Yes, I believe it can. I have recorded from my DVR and also from my video camera and am completely satified with the unit. If you have doubts you can contact the manufacturer from their website.

Yes. It is a DVR and records independantly of any other source. Downloading is not required. You can connect a monitor to view the DVR playback and a PC is not required. Of course you can also use a PC or playback over an internet connection.

Sorry I don't understand what "line-in" recording is. This has been great for me, I program it to record the radio show that I like. You program when you want it to start recording and when you want it to stop, you can also start/stop recording at your convenience. The bad side of it is that while recording the volume is preset in the middle and you can not adjust it, it is great that comes with rechargwable battery but you can not use it while charging, also if you run out the charge on the battery you will have to re-program it.I like it a lot I use it ALL THE TIME, I recomend it, Sorry I don't understand what "line-in" recording is.

No. Only the converse. You would need a laptop probably to record a cd. Also see discription on product page further down

No. This is a simple unit to use and dependable. I have 2 I connect the sattelite (or cable) to the back of the recorder and then a line out to TV. Very simple. Be happy to answer any other questions.Peg

You can definitely use it for direct recording. I've used it on a couple of finished tracks with a couple of different instruments. You'll likely have some latency issues and will have to mess around with the settings, but every DAW I've tried it with has recognized it as an input source.

No you will need a DVR to record. Any standard DVR with BNC input would work.

Yes, you can. This unit only records when there is a DVD in the drive bay-I originally thought there was a hard drive to buffer the recording; there is not. Great unit, have using ours for a couple of years.

Nope! You can line out directly to the mic input of your PC sound card. I made these videos exactly that way:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dneBzV_T4S8http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_MeOXyYWEUI didn't use anything except the guitar and the Line 6 Floor Pod PLUS, plugged directly into my computer - no other interfaces. You can use any type of free recording software available. I used Kristal Audio Engine, which is a free download.

Not sure, it is of lesser quality than I expected. Sound system wouldn't be very good for recording if it did have the option. It is more for juvenile use where they don't care how it sounds.

Yes, its bidirectional, you can monitor while recording, there is a button called usb2crtl there you switch between whats mixed and what is comming from the computer and send it to your control room or headphones

It can be used directly to a monitor/tv/ although if you are hooking it up to a CPU you will need a video card I believe and of course software if you want to record.

It's not in the vinicity of me, but I remember it has such a function. It can do anything a normal recorder can do. Ask others to make sure plz!

Yes, it works OK for recording but you have to make sure you do it in a place without any noise since the mic picks up any sound around it... Where I have my system there is an old computer about 15 ft. away from mine and I can hear it in the recordings I have done. I guess the best would be to have it in a sound proof room.

We bought several of these for the express purpose of recording wiring instructions on computers. First of all, let's make sure it does what you think it does. It is a microphone that you put in your ear. It hears both sides of the conversation. That microphone needs to plug into something which records. your computer can do that with software, as long as you plug the microphone into a microphone jack on it. Windows comes with "Sound Recorder", or you can download Audacity or any of a bunch of other applications. You may need to open the microphone properties and set the volume and boost all the way up to get reasonable volume on the recording.
