Well to answer those questions for you.
Any turntables will work with the TCVs. All you need is a needle with good tracking.
I currently use the Numark TTx although for your budget your limiting you choices of a good turntable. Here is my advice for you on the turntable purchase.
Make sure its a direct drive TT, if you buy used make sure its in good condition
The TT1600 is a belt drive turntable so it won't hold its pitch that well and after some use the belt will start to slip a bit causing it to get worse over time.
The TT1650 is a direct drive turntable which is a bit more expensive but will be more durable and should save you some cash for replacing the belts from the 1600 :D
You will need a soundcard with 2 ins 2 outs (stereo) The Maya 44 USB has been tested by many and have no problems at all. Although the Maya 44 USB is now discontinued it will be difficult to pick up now.
Hope this helps you out
Best Regards

i'm not sure if you really want to get in to TT or just mixing in general. Since you on a very limited budget I would suggest buying VDJ, then when you are comfortable with that buy a Y-adapter and an external mixer, then you would be mixing with some hardware, when that's good feeling for you then jump to some decks. on a budget i would not jump head 1st into djing.

A Y adapter is what will split your sound into Left and Right RCA connections.
This way you can go from your PC into your external Mixer using VDJ to control the decks and the mixer to mix :D
DJing is an expensive hobby/career. Equipment can cost you an arm and a leg if you want nothing but the best of the best and music isn't given away either unfortunatelly.
start off slow and if you can put some cash aside here and there keep saving up until you can buy something of decent quality this way the equipment will more then likely last longer and save you some cash in the long run.
Best of luck

a mixer is what would be in the middle of the 2 turntables, yes
http://www.behringer.com/DJX700/index.cfm?lang=ENG
this is an idea of what a mixer looks like. Now there are hundreds of different models and specs on each one.
best suggestion I can give you is to go to your local music shop and test out a few different models until you find the one for you :D

First of all, I'd like to thank dj_in_norrway... great advice, for all audiences!
Second, if anyone still wants the tutorial translated, I'd gladly do it.. I'm a native spanish speaker, and if there are people interested in reading it, I'd love to help them understand it easier.
Dj'ing is really an expensive hobby, but you can start by playing at some small(ish) house partys and build up a customer base from there.. If you practice a lot at home, get to know your tracks and EQ, and mostly just love music, you'll start getting calls (make sure people have your number!) and that expensive equipment will pay itself off pretty soon.
Keep the good advise coming!

The wave editor goes as fast as the song plays... But the blocks everyone is talking around here are below the waveform.... They act as markers so you know where the beats are, without having to keep track of the waveform. In case this does not help, maybe lowering the pitch until you get a hold on the idea could help you :)
hope that's it

@heman
hehe.. you dont bug anybody at all :) just glad to help you in any way I can, and feel free to ask any more questions that you might have.... :)
For your setup wish, you need the following :
- One turntable (would recommend two, but you can use one, in full version)
- Timecode Vinyl
- Soundcard with line-in (preferably ASIO soundcard, as that makes a lot less latency) (not MIC IN!!)
- VirtualDJ full version
You can use VDJ as mixer, but its in many ways more pro to have an external mixer, as it seems you want.
If you want that, your soundcard would also need line-out.
One line out, can be splitted into two seperate mono signals to your external mixer.
If your soundcard have 2 x line-out (4.1/5.1 soundcard), you can have 2 x STEREO signal to your external mixer (recommended)
A good soundcard for this setup, would for example be the Maya 44 usb soundcard
hope that helps a bit :) and please feel free to ask more, if you have more questions
:)

Sorry for not reading this thread lately...
@heman... good advice for turntable : Technics 1210 ( very good!)
and for the user saying waveform scrolls to fast... You can slow it down, by using certain skins that have arrows for slowing down/speeding up the wave. Or, use scroll wheel on your mouse over the waveform...
