High tech digital sound and lights are wasted on me. This unit combines all of the music features I need into one compact attractive package that sounds as good as any boombox I've owned. I like the dial tuner better than a digital tuner. If you're into the absolute best sound and hi tech features, this is not for you. If you want something to play music in the living room, to play your nostalgic moldy oldy records, and share with the whole family then this might be just right.

This is a superb all-in-one system. The retro feel comes through less effectively than some of the other retro combo players out there because of this one's plastic and fairly modern-looking interface (with the notable exception of the authentic tuner dial) but for the money, this one is the right choice.

The unit appears very nice, however, I was dissapointed the first time I went to use it. The turntable of the phonograph was warped badly enough to scrape against a particular point in the rear. It appeared to be scrapping against the turntable assembly and was loud enough to make it impossible to ignore.

Also, adjusting the volume knob created severe and continuous static from the speakers. Obtaining clear static free sound from both speakers simultaneously took several minutes. It did sound good once this was achieved!

Note that TEAC no longer lists this model on their webite and I am assuming it is discontinued. Also TEAC's webpage has listed service/repair numbers for certified dealers in my area. Unfortunately these numbers are outdated. I am still in the process of getting a refund/replacement.

This is a gift for my father-in-law who is technology challanged. He can play all his favorite records and copy them to cassette with the push of a button.

I bought this for my wife who is not very picky concerning music quality. Actually, the sound is decent and everything worked well. Even the radio worked similar to other boom box type units. Over all a good unit. Only problem is a noise in playing the record player. This just started and I have not had time to look at it, but sounds like something rubbing inside.

The product features do not seem to say if this unit records from LP and/or CD to cassette? Can those who have this unit tell me?

I thought I left a review on this but here it goes in a condense form. Anyone would love this as it plays anything from old 45's to cd's. I got it for an elder friend of mine and He simply Loves it! The sound is great and he was happy to dig up all his old records and play them. Took him down memory lane which was good for his morale.

It looks good, and sounds very impressive. The best feature is the ease of copying CDs, records, and AM/FM radio progams to tape - great if you have a cassette player in your car. Unlike many similar units, it has a full array of tape deck controls. The biggest problem is the lack of continous playback for records, CDs, and tapes - just stops at the end. Minor quibbles include the lack of tone controls and auxillary input for an i-pod or whatever. A remote control would have been useful. The dark cherry finish may not be to everyones taste.
