One negative comment regarding cord/adapter. What type cord to use? Works electrically &amp; batteries? Can play tape cassettes and CD's ?

The RX-D55 can operate on batteries or via power cord. It plays both CDs and cassette tapes.

I have not yet used it after purchasing.....my hope is it will work with cassette recorder to transfer from tapes to computer files. I bought it because it seemed it will plug into any type of music source and then transfer the sound to computer. Good luck.

If you can ask him that would be great just ordered this and am wondering if he used a media cable or a usb to rca cord. I ordered a few but see that some do not work. Don't wanna waste my money. :-) I have the ipod cord so maybe its the same one?

My cd player/radio/tape player has a 'mic' adapter plug and I plug it into that. It works fine.

The one I bought (New) came with a short (long enough) tape cart. You will only need to add batteries (uses 6 AAA's). Anyways, read the description and ask the seller if you need more details. Particularly, I am happy with this, I even bought a number of different colors of tapes to use. For the price, this is very versatile for a low or medium user (lots of features, more than I really need: id for boxes, electrical panel, electronic wiring, chargers, etc.). Its lightweight and practical.

Toni, the cd radio cassette player sound quality is really good. Infact the lp record player sound quality was more than my expectations, I was happy as the horn actually works giving it a very vintage feel. Hope this helps..

I think the book says it will transfer records and tapes to cds.check your book that came with the recorder player. I haven't tried to do it so I am only going with what the book says

I sent a review about this cassette player several months ago, and for your information, SAVE YOUR MONEY, this is a piece of junk! I don't think it was a couple of months before we had trouble with the CD player not playing and shortly there after, the cassette player malfunctioned also. Stick with a brand-name such as SONY, Panasonic, JVC and you will not go wrong.

Would you give me details on how to use the extension cord? What type is it and how to connect to TV & headphone?When I follow manual instruction, sounds come from both TV & headphones. Thanks

Yes it plays as well ... I'm a tech dummy and had some challenges figuring out which buttons governed the cassette vs the CD playing functions, but once I got that figured out I was OK ... it's a great little machine!!

You have to be careful with the adapter, that you dont wreck tapes. Operat the mechanism slowly while installing tapes. On rewind toward end had a tendence to bind. I used it succesfully most of time. I also have a battery oper one. They work better. Check Radio Shack. They have a nice batt operated for $24.00

Okay, so here is what I found. I found a copy of the operation manual on line, free copy. It shows four RCA plugs on the back. 2-in 2-out. Record and Playback. Specification...Line in X 2....Min. input level :600 mV(0db) Now does it go to the recorder??? looks like it. I would think it should, I guess. Well, for $72 I guess I will try it, sounds good anyway. Want to record cassettes for a Walkman for walking in the after noon, to loose weight. I'm tired of the Small MP3 player. I will follow this message when I get the PT649D. Wish me luck. (The question ask Dec.2010..WOW.. long time ago.)

Lokamaya,I haven't used any cassette players in the past 10 years. But I remember that they be powered by rechargeable NiMH cells just fine. Same thing with portable CD players. The small difference in voltages (between alkaline and NiMH) should not matter at all, because internally the motors are running off a regulated volatge.If you are having problems using NiMH cell in your players, then the root cause could be that your rechargeable batteries are suffering from reduced capacity. Try some Sanyo eneloop (or other good quality LSD cells) and you should see the difference.

Hi Leonel,I'm honestly not sure, but I would assume it would just be for charging. It does come with an auxiliary cord, so if your memory stick has a port for that, you should be able to play your music. I'll check it out as soon as I can, and will keep you posted.

The unit comes with instructions and an AV cord, but my problem was the unit itself was defective I couldn't open the draw to inset the CD.Good luck!

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.
