This is a really interesting product from Teac that is a great solution for someone who still uses a variety of types of media for playback and recording.

You can use this unit to play back CD's or cassettes and you can also record to cassette or USB as well. There is a lot of versatility here for the asking price. If you have a turntable and wanted to record to cassette or USB you can do that as well using the analog inputs on the back.

We consider this unit to be excellent value as it is just a bit more expensive than an entry level CD player but it does a whole lot more and we have found the build quality and reliability of the full sized Teac products to be very good. This is something you can purchase now and keep running for many years to come.
