Here you can learn about recording music from CD's to a cassette (audio) tapes using a DVD/CD player and an amplifier hooked up to a tape recorder unit.
Steps
- Set up your Amplifier and required equipment in one place. Make sure you have access to the back of the amplifier and other equipment.
- Plug in the amplifier to the wall outlet or power strip (multiple outlets). This works best if you use an amplifier with 2-prong or 3-prong power inputs so that you won't need so many ports in your wall-outlet.Advertisement
- Connect your CD/DVD player to your cassette deck (recorder).
- Connect "Audio Out" on the CD/DVD player INTO the "Line IN" on the cassette recorder, using RCA jacks.
- If red is present but no white, use the red in the red ports and the other color (sometimes black) in the other port. Connect the same colors on BOTH devices.
- The CD/DVD player setup:
- Turn on DVD/CD player.
- Insert disc you want to copy from.
- Close player and press the "Stop" button on the player (or on remote if available).
- The Cassette Tape recorder set-up:
- Open recording deck (the side where recording can take place, usually the right side deck).
- Insert blank tape or old tape that you want to record over. (No longer than 90 minutes due to magnetic strips being too thin and wearing out easily during playback).
Community Q&A
- QuestionHow do I handle spaces between songs?Community AnswerIn your media player preferences page look for the menu that says burning options. There will be a question that asks you if you want a gap between songs. Check the box that says seamless recording which should get rid of the gap.
- QuestionIs it possible to record on the second side of the tape?Community AnswerYes. Just flip the cassette once you've filled one side and record on the other.
Tips
- Try to demagnetize your tape player and/or clean the heads so that your recording experience is at its best quality.Thanks
- Try to avoid a 3-way split for powering your equipment as the outlet may overheat and cause a large spark or a fire. Use a multi-port strip for better protection if amplifier does not have power inputs.Thanks
Warnings
- *Do not unplug anything while recording, doing so may corrupt the tape and may cause static if the speakers are turned on.Thanks
