Summary: Great system at an excellent price
Review: Based on the previous reviewer, I went ahead and purchased this item. I know that many of these burners seem to have occasional (or frequent) problems. I went ahead and risked getting a non-name brand and haven't regretted it for a second. This machines burns flawless CD's from just about any source. Soon, I will have all my tapes on CD and backup copies of my personal CD's. Get this burner!!

Summary: Koss CDR200 is a disgrace.
Review: I (like many others I found out)made the mistake of buying a Koss CDR200. I did not use the unit much initially. When I started to use it the CDRW disc locked up in the B drive. I called Koss (a faceless company - must be a pure importer) and they said unplug the unit and plug it back in. It worked - that time. The second time it happened unplug-plug did not work. I called Koss and they said "sorry, unit discontinued, no replacement". Call this screw the customer. No place to repair it. No service information. No replacement unit available. I don't know how they get away with this as I thought all electronic products sold in the US were supposed to have some kind of parts and service availability for a certain number of years by law. I will never buy another Koss product and I will disparage their name anytime it comes up. Any outfit that can't even suggest where their product can be repaired (and this is only to release a disc from the tray)ought to be put out of business.

Summary: Can't beat it for the price
Review: I got this unit on sale for under [price]. For that price, the deck performs very well.
My purpose was not for CD dubbing, but dubbing other sources onto CDs. Analog inputs are very good from vinyl or cassette, although the silence-sensing auto track indexing is very flaky - like every CD & Dat recorder I've ever used. Lack of an input level control is far less of a hindrance than I expected.
Digital input is only 44.1 with no sample rate convert, so forget digital dubs of those 32/48 Khz DATs or music DVDs.
This is a very basic, reliable, consumer CD recorder. A good buy for the price if you just need the basics. Using CD/RW media (consumer "music" blanks) is a plus. If you really mangle a recording, you can just erase & do over.
I saw in the manual there's a timed recording function which looks promising, but I haven't really explored it.

Summary: Koss- I wouldn't recommend
Review: I have had my unit for approx. 2 years now. The playing side works geat,but the recording side has started to fail. You cannot record tracks off the cds now. You can't even record a whole cd, because it will not finalize. I should have spent an extra $200 on a better brand like Sony or Panasonic. I wouldn't reccomend this Koss cd recorder to anyone!

Summary: For the money It stinks
Review: I'M Editing this review because this has like others failed! The B drive doesn't read the discs. It records when it feels like it and seems to say RECOVER RECOVER very often. So I called the fine Koss people and they told me they stopped making the product do to a "maximum defect" their words. Oh Well, so to all those Koss purchasees out there I'm holding a Koss revolution and never buying another Koss Product again.

Summary: Good Riddance
Review: I'm glad to see KOSS has stopped making this waste of money machine.All of the complaints about the recording side which you'll see in all of the other reviews are accurate: It is very picky about which CD-R's it will accept (rejecting about 1/4 of every pack I tried over the past 18 months), it forces a gap between tracks whether you want them there or not, it determines (based only on its mood) how much time it will allow you to record on each blank CD, and, most maddening of all, it keeps going into "recovery" mode, which basically means it's tacking on about 30 seconds of dead air after each "recovered" track. Since you can not control the record level, each tune is recorded at it's original level, and that varies from source to source--so your CD's play volume is all over the map if you use different sources. And lately it's not even putting a ceiling on the volume, so I get finished CDs with horrible distortion levels. I won't be buying any more KOSS equipment, that's for sure. I'll spend the extra bucks for a decent recorder--and the KOSS is going out with Tuesday's trash.
