FAQ
Product FAQ:
Q: Can you plug in a voice microphone to record on blank tape?
A: It has a built-in microphone. I don't see a plug for an external mic, just earphones.
Q: Has anyone tried to record from cassette using audio output?
A: We're using it to record family oral history onto cassettes. Serves our purpose well.
Q: Am I able to copy a Tape I’m playing?
A: No, there is only one tape mechanism.
Q: What is the warranty period, and how do I get this broken thing (just after Amazon’s return period) replaced?
A: Amazon will still accept the return if you have good cause for exceeding the return period. Just be polite when you speak to an agent regarding your request.
Q: Is it okay for AC 220V?
A: It should work, but if 220 is too strong, it can blow out the unit.
Q: I purchased this item a while ago but packed it for Christmas. I discovered that there is no cable inside. Is there a way to get a cable??
A: If you’re referring to the AC power cord, yes, I’m sure there’s one in it. I hope this answers your question.
Q: This player just 'ate' and destroyed a tape of my grandma's funeral. There is still a piece of tape ribbon caught in the player. How do I get it out?
A: Try using tweezers or something with a sharp tip, like what a dentist uses when he or she plucks your teeth in search of cavities.
Q: Does it automatically switch to side B of the tape?
A: No, it doesn't automatically switch to side B of the tape.
Q: Does the auto-stop feature work with fast forward and rewind?
A: For rewind, yes. For fast forward, no.
Q: The power cord is polarized going into the wall, but not polarized going into the player. Is this a safety issue?
A: Having done a bit of research, polarization of a power cord only pertains to the end of the power cord that plugs into the wall, not the end that plugs into an apparatus such as a cassette player, CD player, or printer. Therefore, it is not a safety issue.
