    CASSETTE AND CD DISK TO USB IS GOOD FEATURE

    CASSETTE AND CD DISK TO USB IS GOOD FEATURE
    I have been using it for a couple of months now. It appears to be quality made. I use it so far to record my old cassettes music to USB so I can transfer to my computer and onto IPhone. I haven’t used the CD disk player as I have a old Sony 5 disk still working. It appears to have a safety shutdown feature on the cassette desk. I was recording a old music tape to USB and the cassette deck suddenly stopped. On inspection I saw the cassette tape had torn and I was able to get it out off the tape cassette heads without damaging them. Here are the two feature where I could see need for improvement: 1) The 3 and 3/4 by 1 inch window monitor has in my opinion poor digital graphics. It’s kind of “ old school” and you have to be looking at it at a straight ahead position to be able to see what’s displayed. 2) The view window in the cassette deck is NOT illuminated so if you want to see what’s happening during recording, for example, you have to shine a flashlight through the view window. Why they couldn’t have put a low watt led light in there I don’t know? 3) A price range of about $350.00 would in my opinion make this worth the price as I think it’s current price is a little expensive.
