 Plauged by faults, poor sound qualityJul 22, 2009
This produce was a big, overpriced disappointment. The sound quality is extremely poor, the turntable is rubbish, and when you record your vinyl there is no bottom end - consequently everything sound weak and tinny.
And then to top it all off, the cd drive suddenly stopped working, and has jammed with a cd inside of it. Save your money, and get one of those mp3 turntables instead, as a stand a lone unit this thing is a lemon.
 Round flat things that don't go "bump" in the night.Feb 16, 2009
Wow...and it even looks old, but works fine...they should have put an "off-on" switch on the remote though.
TEAC GF-350 ReviewJan 31, 2009
The TEAC GF-350 arrived in perfect condition. This is an attractive unit that fits well with other stereo components. It is substantial in size so you need a good surface for it to operate from and high enough to see the controls well and open the turntable lid. I bought this unit to preserve a 40 year old record collection. The unit records well once you read the instructions and understand how to separate the tracks properly and how to finalize each recording. You must also ensure you use "music" CDs otherwise you will think the unit doesn't work when it actually does. The unit operates quite well - the record player, the CD player, the radio, and it has input for other analog sources. It doesn't play back with much volume, but is adequate for any small room. My only disappointment is that the recordings are not as dynamic as a commercial CD and you have to boost the volume and tonal settings to enjoy the playback. Overall - a great unit at a good price.
Don't Throw Away the Remote!Jan 11, 2009
I bought this unit because it seemed easy to use. But, the FM reception was terrible and the sound quality of the CD playback equally poor, so I was discouraged from recording anything. Months later, when I decided to give it a try, the remote control had misplaced during an office renovation. That was my stupid fault, but nonetheless, I couldn't use the unit for simply enjoying music in my office in addition to burning CDs. Anyway, this control is not really an optional remote control in the traditional sense, but an integral part of the unit, and used to separate the tracks on the LP, so keep track of it. Believe the reviews who say the playback is poor. And the ones that say that without "cleanup" software to remove hiss and crackle, the unit is pretty worthless. I ended up tossing this recorder and subbing a much less expensive Audio Technica USB turntable, which comes with audio cleanup software.
 Close, but no cigar!Dec 16, 2008
It works well enough, but not having a tape player built in is a real downer. I can't recomend it.
