Is setting this up as simple as just plugging it in to a wall outlet and putting a record on (meaning I wouldn't have to buy anything else)?

Yes. Plug it in, place the record on the turntable. Turn the power/volume switch on. Manually move the needle arm to the start of the record. Music starts. That's all there is to it.

It has internal speakers but you may also use the RCA outputs in the back to use it with external speakers or a sound system.

Yes, there is nothing tricky about it. I plugged it in, put on a record, and was good to go.

absolutely. power it up first, then hook the power up, follow the prompts on the screen and you are ready to go. if video taping, push the record button once and it will give you a display before you tape. side note, i am the singer in a rock band and it video and audio records outstanding for an inexpensive device. i also bought the remote. works great.... hope this helps johnd

Am I understanding that you want to glue the Record button down, to effectually just thePower button to start recording.Short answer maybe not. I have these units and It seems that recording either starts or stopsOnce you release the button.

No. The simplest and best recording software (free) is audacity. Easy to use and works with this hardware

I would highly recommend VideoSecu, portable DVR. A\C plug required. Records to SD card, Love it!

Yeah, totally! You just need a mic obviously and some software. Audacity should work fine, which is free. Just plug this in to a USB port, plug the mic in, set everything up, and hit record.

It records to a DVR which is basically a computer, but an average persons personal computer wouldn't have the proper connections to plug this in to it. I am no expert so others please correct me if I'm mistaken.

you don't, only way to find out is to try it out. make sure the person has a return or guarantee policy, if it works according to the instructions (which you should be able to figure out within a week) you're good. bought mine new, very good machine for home playing & recording. i use it to record vinyl dj mixes from my turntables. blank cd's for recording DO have to be MUSIC cd's & say so on the packaging. good luck...

All I did on mine was just plug it in to the recorder. You could test it, plug it in turn the recorder on to record, say (testing 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10) stop the recorder hit play, if you hear the test it worked if not you need power.

There is no record option with a tape nor does it have a cd burner. It does have a headphone jack so a computer hookup may work.

You can record straight through the USB. Nifty little thing.But beware, its more of a mixer than a traditional interface, so it doesn't split the tracks you may have already laid down from the new ones you're recording. So basically, EVERYTHING you can hear it in your monitor mix, it's going to be on the track you're currently recording. So if you're recording something live, its perfect. If you're tracking something, not so much...

No. In fact all the record functions are disabled as soon as you plug it into a computer (or USB extended life charger), so you can't record at all when it's plugged in. BUT - the good news is that it WILL record a VERY long time without having to change the battery. Don't forget, there are no moving parts in this device. It's energy consumption to operate is incredibly low. I'm pretty sure you would fill up the memory chip before you ran the battery down, but I haven't challenged it that far yet, so I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

Just plug in USB cable to the recording unit and other end of the cable to one of those USE-to-power adapter for the charging. However I strongly recommend purchasing dedicated power adapter made by the manufacturer.

The power source is a house current (electrical outlet) this device can be either run through your computer for recording purposes (software included) or connected to a receiver as it has cables for both. Great machine for digitalizing tapes or listening to them. Only problem I had was the Apple software you must work with to record to computer. But it does it's job although more settings would be nice.

Plug both into the 'digital' bank of outlets. If there is actually any difference between the outlets it hasn't been noticeable to me either way but technically speaking, use the digital outlets for those devices.

Yep pretty darn easy, connect to your computer via supplied USB cable. That's how you load your mp3s on and off as well as the WAV files you record.

No, it is neither simple nor easy to use. The volume input has to be exact or the recording will be rejected. After many tries, I finally put the hardware away and gave up on it. I wrote the price off to experience. It's not worth the time to me.
