Summary: Terrific product
Review: I bought this to record from vinyl and cassette. Looked into doing it on a Mac but sound cards for the Mac are damn near impossible to find. But I'm glad that I bought this JVC. It does everything I want it to do, just requires reading the manual (and keeping it nearby). Recording is fairly simple for just recording from CDs, more complicated for analog sources. Duping CDs is fast and done in a quarter of the playing time. My only quibble is that the machine takes too long to read a freshly inserted disc in the player trays and to switch discs. Also, for anyone who requires an accurate clock, the clock in this falls behind. I don't pay attention to the clock anyway. There's also a timer for recording stuff off the radio at certain times so an inaccurate clock could be a problem. Plenty of useful options-manual track marking (necessary for vinyl), control over spaces between tracks, ability to play MP3s, ability to switch recording modes from track to track.

Great product-love it.
