Teac LP-R550USB USB/CD Recorder with Cassette and Turntable, Black

This is perfect for me. It's compact and stylish. The speakers are small but give a reasonable broad range. It's never going to be as deep as large independent speakers like KEF or Rogers which I've had in the past. If you want something neat, and good quality, on which to play your old vinyl then this does the trick. TEAC is a good name - I have used their old reel to reel tape players in the past. This music centre will also allow you to convert vinyl to MP3 ... it's all in the manual.

This was a great present for somebody who had lots of records, cds and tapes but nothing to play them on. It looks really smart with a good feeling of quality to it and the sound is really excellent. The record playing functionality is great, with the arm dropping itself onto the record and then lifting itself out of the way and docking when the record is finished - i don't know much about record players, but this looked cool.The only thing it's missing is a bluetooth input feature. I tried hooking up a £40 Phillips bluetooth reciever but the sound was completely flat - it was much poorer than a dedicated bluetooth speaker that we compared - I decided to send the Phillips device back as it wasn't worth using.We didn't try the digitizing functionality, but it looked like there were lots of options.You can add active speakers to extend the sound - I didn't think this was necessary yet as the sounds was really good.I think when buying this you should consider if you need a bluetooth connection, because a cheap one won't do the job in my experience, perhaps an external bluetooth gadget won't work at all due to the input being through a microphone jack rather than something better.

This unit is great for recording your tapes or albums onto a cd. I wanted an all in one player to play my tapes and old LP's and singles that was not too expensive. The sound on this TEAC is excellent and once I worked out how to record onto CD, a simple process to do (very good 'how-to's' on youtube), found it perfect.I am overall very pleased with this unit, the only small gripe is the cassette player, it has stopped a couple of times when fast-forwarding an old tape however, some of my tapes have not seen the light of day since the late 70's so, it may be them being tight rather than the tape deck itself?Cracking buy and highly recommended.

This unit plays CDs and vinyl adequately but I have had problems trying to record to CD and could not capture anything. After a total failure I tried to transfer to computer which was possible but the quality was so bad that it was not worth listening. I was most disappointed after paying a substantial amount of money.

Works alright, but for a modern piece of equipment it does not have outputs to external speakers, I appear to be stuck with the incorporated speakers on each side of the box. I presume I could buy an amplifier and use the line output but at this price it should not be necessary, so I'm somewhat disappointed with it.

I needed to 'downsize' my HiFi and Radio/Tape/CD/Record separates units to a more compact form. having recently downsizes our home, it seemed sensible (necessary...) to do the same with the electronics.The Teac LP-R550USB USB/CD became the clear winner after lots of research, in deciding how to achieve this within a modest budget.The bonus with this unit is that you can record from Tape, CD, or Vinyl records directly to recording CDs or to USB stick or cable to a PC).This is a great item at a reasonable price , highly recommended.Gilbert

This piece of equipment has restored my old vinyl and cassette collections and converts the indispensable recordings to cd and computer. It is simple to operate in all modes and so far is working perfectly. The sound is acceptable, and cds that I have recorded on it sound excellent when replayed on a bose machine.I am not too happy with the fm radio reception and the aerial provided is rudimentary. For serious listening I need an external aerial. The support for the turntable's arm is flimsy plastic and was broken on delivery, but I was able to repair it with superglue.Despite these quibbles, the machine has brought back to life some collections that have gathered dust for 15 years, including mono analogue lps and cassette recordings of live performances off the radio, so it was a good buy at a reasonable price.

This is a great bit of kit nice sound easy to use ,also i have connected a small DVD player so now i can play usb's and music DVD's through it and the sound is great ,the sound from the Cd after recording a LP and cassette is fantastic i am more than pleased with this HI Fi.

昔の音源を復活出来て最強

Die Qualität des Gerätes. Zum kopieren auf CD`s Schade dass man auf keine USB Stick kopieren kann.

Après avoir reçu un exemplaire dont la platine était défectueuse Amazon me l'a échangée en 48 h ! Super service après-vente. L'appareil me convient parfaitement. Le son plus que correct, pilotable manuel ou télécommande. Un plaisir de lire à nouveau mes K7. Je recommande

購入して2ヶ月が経ちました。レコードやカセットテープからCD-Rに数枚録音しましたが、故障や不具合などは全くなく、とても簡単に操作できます。個人的には、録音レベル機能があるのが非常に助かっています。以下、項目別に感想を書いてみます。＜音質＞　ジャズやクラシックなど生音を聞く分には必要十分な音質だと思います。但し、ロックや私の好きなヘヴィメタルを聴くときは少々物足りなさを感じますね。低音が音質ツマミなどで増強できればもっと迫力のあるサウンドが堪能できたのでは、と思います。＜操作性＞　カセットテープは蓋がなく、手でカチャッとはめるだけのシンプルな構造です。なので、ヘッドクリーニングなどの手入れがとてもしやすいと思います。プレーヤーについては、アームの操作レバーがもう少し離れたところにあるといいかな、と。操作レバーをつまもうとすると、指がアームにぶつかってしまい、アームが動いてしまうので。CDについては特にはないですが、カセットテープやCDの操作音が人によってはおもちゃのような安っぽい音に聞こえるかも、です。リモコンについてですが、基本CDの操作しかできません。カセットやプレーヤーの操作、電源のオンオフは本体でしか操作できません。＜録音＞　録音レベルの設定について。マニュアルでは録音時シンジケーターの目盛りがOVERにならないように設定してください、とありますが、実際はもっと高く設定したほうが迫力のある音になります。シンジケーターの目盛りが時々OVERになるくらいで丁度いいです。そのあと再生してもシンジケーターの目盛りがOVERになることはありません。なお、録音時の頭出し機能（曲番をつける機能）があり、これはとても優れた機能で助かっています。＜総評＞　概ね満足しています。今まで聴けなかったレコードの音源が車でも聴くことができるようになり、ドライブも楽しくなりました。

Das Gerät von TEAC ist soweit o.k. Die Bedienung ist gewöhnungsbedürftig und nicht so ganz einfach. Beim überspielen auf eine CD sind eine Menge Dinge zu beachten. Leider kann ich die gebrannte CD nicht auf meinem Sony CD Player abspielen, er erkennt das Format nicht. Muss also die CD nochmal über den Computer mit einem anderen Format brennen. Dann funktioniert es. Und abschließend möchte ich noch sagen, dass der Sound des TEAC leider mit minimalen Bässen, trotz Bassreflex, zu hören ist. Peter Schröder
