You can make recordings of your media using the CD-A580 by recording CD or cassette onto a USB flash drive, or even from CD or USB to cassette.

On the front panel, there's an LCD screen with the necessary information, a headphone socket (jack) with its own volume control and lots of buttons for operating the media player. You can also operate it via the included remote control.

Enorm blij met dit apparaat! Superfijn om oude cassettes en CD's weer af te kunnen spelen. Overigens echt verrast door de geluidskwaliteit van de cassettespeler, echt top. En als bonus veel prettige bedieningsfuncties plus een USB-aansluiting. En erg degelijk uitgevoerd.

SLECHT.
Ikzelf heb dit toestel 2,5 jaar geleden aangeschaft en onlangs ter reparatie bij Bax gebracht, men is tot de conclusie gekomen dat het loopwerk van de cd speler en de cassette speler vernieuwd moeten worden met een prijs opgave van 398 euro.............Nieuwe kost 421 !!
Toevallig valt dit niet onder de garantie van 5 jaar zegt men.
De reden zou zijn dat door veelvuldig gebruik de loopwerken versleten zijn, nou dat is zeker niet het geval en zeer zeker niet bij de cassette speler bijna nooit gebruikt !!
SLECHTE service van TASCAM.
