Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is there a way to decrease the sensitivity of the track increment feature, so that individual tracks from older vinyl records and tapes can be transferred to CD successfully?
A: Many older recordings feature a certain amount of background hiss/noise and this can affect the ability of Vinyl2CD to recognize the beginning and end of individual tracks. This problem can be solved by using the manual track increment mode (detailed on page 21 of the user manual). Alternatively, you can divide your recorded tracks by using the Audacity software provided (see page 45 of the user manual for details)

Q: Can I use Vinyl2CD to copy my existing CDs?
A: Yes, by connecting your existing CD player to Vinyl2CD via the aux-in jack. Once connected and the aux-in setting has been selected, simply play your CDs on your existing player and create (‘burn') new CDs on Vinyl2CD.

Q: Am I able to record tracks from different records or skip recording certain tracks?
A: Yes. You can do this by pressing the pause button whilst recording, moving to the next track you wish to record and then pressing play.

Q: What are the dimensions and weight?
A: 43cm W x 14cm H x 37cm D, 13kgs

Q: Is there a headphone socket?
A: Yes

Q: What types of CD-ROM discs should I use to record onto with my VINYL2CD player/recorder?
A: Use CD-R or CD-RW discs only. We sell the CD-R type discs – please call 0845 555 4444 or go online to www.technologyinthehome.com to order

Q: If I am recording tracks from a record onto a CD and wish to change the record so I can have a selection of tracks on the one CD but from two records – what do I do?
A: You simply start playing the vinyl record and record to CD as many tracks as you want from that first record, then press Play/Pause and the CD will suspend recording. You can then change the record to a new one, and then simply press Play/Pause again and the recording to CD will recommence as a new track on that same CD.

Q: The disc does not play back on other units. What can I do?
A: Please make sure you have finalised the disc. It is important to make sure that after you press the finalise button you press Play whilst the screen says finalise. At this point it will say Busy and finalise the disc.

Q: When I play the recorded CD back - nothing has recorded. What can I do?
A: Make sure you press play after you press record and start the record playing.

Q: I have another question which is not covered here.
A: Please see the extensive product manual which also features a troubleshooting guide or call 0845 555 4440 for technical help.
