Teac AD-850-SE CD Player & Cassette Player with USB Recording and Playback (Microphone Input, Echo Effect, Karaoke Enabled, Digital-Analog Conversion) Black

Does what it says on the box to a high standard of quality. Button sequencing not very intuitive at first until you get used to it, however I am more than pleased with the product especially as I purchased it via Amazon, second hand, from a cash converter type shop for less than half price.(Unit like new in original packaging + instructions.

Easy to use for both CD and tape, with comprehensive user manual. Sound reproduction is good. I've not tried the USB functions but they look a bit more complicated from the instructions.

Allows you to record directly from vinyl or cd to either tape or usb stick

No Dolby B and C, so I will simply look elsewhere !

Though I have not had enough time to really put the Player/Recorder through all it paces, I did find that the Headphones o/p was operating on one ear only but recorded and played back on both channels.There is nothing wrong with my headphones as they operate on both channels when monitoring the o/p of the accompanying Amplifier's operation.So far I am quite pleased with its operation as I used it continuously for ten and one half Hours recently on a project.I'm smiling.

This is an excellent piece of kit for transferring cassettes etc to CD or USB. It is a bit clunky and the number of buttons and controls are easy to mix up but once used to it it does exactly what it says on the tin. The best facility for me is the ability to easily transfer direct from cassette to my computer without having to prepare a CD and then import it. I would recommend this unit.

Exceptional quality, operates above and beyond expectations. Operating manual easy to understand. Extremely pleased with this purchase.

I purchased this machine not from Amazon but from a Hi Fi source but its the same model.I have been archiving both my and my late fathers jazz record/tape collection for over 4 years.You could say I have gained some experience during this time and its cost me a fortune in doing so.I am not one for doing reviews but I feel I could help someone out there in making the right choice and save them some money.I basically started using an ION USB powered record deck cheap to buy and within a 300 recordings the quality went down the pan.First lot of disc's to be trashed.I then got a powered ION deck much better quality but the ION decks can only be used through i tunes on your computer and they have a habit of cutting out towards the ends of sides which means you have to go back and piece in the ends.This is more prone to jazz than pop recordings and especially so on live albums.I was going to keep these & then I started on the tapes.I did have aa stand alone marantz cd recorder which I could use with an old NAD machine.The quality on the stand alone was much better but my record deck was broken so I was not able to use it the same way,however the marantz packed up before I could finish.Enter the TEAC model.Very easy to use and I was back recording straight away (having started using my late fathers record deck as well).The results have been a very big improvement.I now record on RWCD'S on the TEAC machine then transfer them onto the computer and using a MAGIX program to sort out the tracks and to clean up where needed before a final burn.The results are now near perfect. I have had people sat in my car and they think they are listening to a commercial cd,they are that good.The play back of cd's and tapes are very good there's no difference between this and a cd only machine at this price.The only fault I can find is that the machine is prone to freeze up when you are setting it up to record.I don't think it's a fault on my machine but a problem with having to navigate the recorder through the source button (I clear this by switching off and back on).In short if you have a lot to archive and you can afford the price, this is the model to go for if you have both records and tapes to archive.Finally you need to use blank music cds the best ones to use with this machine are Maxell XL11 80's I don't get problems with these on either the TEAC or with my Roxio burner on my computer.Sorry to have waffled on back to the archiving!
