I don't know if this item actually works. It is very difficult to use and when I connected it to my receiver, it sounded very grainy. Very disappointed with the product.

 Very Nice - No Major Complaints April 22, 2010

I've been having a lot of fun with this turntable. It does everything it is supposed to.
A word to the wise ... turn off auto track split - it will start new tracks when you don't want it to.
Very easy operation - choose your disc, press the RECORD button to start the recording process in PAUSE mode, test the recording levels - play the disc from the beginning and press PLAY / PAUSE to start recording. Press PLAY / PAUSE again to pause recording when the track is finished. Press SPLIT TRACK to start a new track in memory, recording will still be in the pause mode. Choose your next disc - repeat... until you have all the tracks you want.
You can rearrange or delete tracks before burning the CD. When you have all the tracks as you want you can then burn to CD.
Another word to the wise - read the pamphlet before trying to burn to disc. I generally do not read manuals, and I could not figure how to get the music from internal memory burned on to a disc - but I looked it up and felt somewaht stupid when I read how to do it.
Also, on the front of the unit by the CD tray, it says you can only use MUSIC CD-R discs, but that is not true, I have burned quite a few regular CD-R discs. The pamphlet also states you can use regular CD-R.
The only problem I have had with the unit is the occasional extra track inserted when things get too quiet. This unit could use a combine track function to combat this problem. This is why I turn off auto track splitting. And you must do this every time you turn the machine on - it doesn't remember the setting.
Overall, the unit is very well built, perfoms flawlessly and I have had no problems recording to memory or to disc. The turntable also sounds better than doing this with my Audio Technica turntable hooked up to the stereo and dedicated CD recorder - there is better bass response with the ION.
Setup was fairly straightforward. If you've never set up this type of turntable before, balancing the tone arm may seem a little daunting - so read the instructions carefully.
This unit is a great idea which has been carried out nearly perfectly. I'd recommend this to anyone who has a vinyl collection they'd like to digitize.
The CD's that you burn with this will, however, still have the beginning lead in and ending lead out sounds since you have to start recording before the music actually starts to get the beginning of each track. The manual track split function combined with the delete track function can remedy this if that bothers you. If you do use these functions to get rid of extra lead in / lead out time, be sure you delete the extra noise tracks. It will not let you burn a CD if there is any track in memory of less than 4 seconds in length.
There are RCA Jacks on the back for output to an amp, or input from any line-level source, such as tape deck, CD player, etc. You can choose to record from the Line In source by flipping a swith on teh unit. I have not used the USB function on the turntable, nor the software that came with it as I have my own music software. It does come with the free Audacity software, which I've read is very good and updated frequently.
I was a little hesitant to purchase this after reading some of the problems people had, but the good reviews far exceeded the bad ones, and I decided to go ahead and buy this unit. I am glad I did.
Have fun!
Anthony
Exactly what I wanted March 12, 2010

Faced with the challenge of converting 300+ vinyl records to CDs, I searched Amazon for a converter and found the Ion USB Turntable with Built-in CD Recording. The product description matched exactly what I wanted, and when I received the product and began to use it, the description proved to be entirely accurate. The User Guide is very comprehensive and helpful. The product can be assembled with ease. The mode and function buttons bear labels that are clear both visibly and with regard to their meaning. The product produces CDs with excellent sound. The only negative is that the volume control knob does not have a marker to indicate the level at which the volume is set.
