Summary: Best Recorder For The Money
Review: After waiting for this technology to drop in price, I am pleased to say that it was worth the wait. Hookup to my existing JVC system was easy. You should read ALL of the instructions before attempting to connect or record. Use "DIGITAL AUDIO" CD's only. I found that all my CD players (Home, Office, Portable, and Car) Could play CD-R recorded Discs BUT none could play the CD-RW discs. That is the only draw back.

Summary: Needs CD Digital Audio CD's
Review: Handsome unit, well made and laid out. However, just so that you dont make the same mistake we did, it does require Digital Audio CD's and not the standard Recordables you can get for allot less money. I did not know this at the time I purchased it. I admit to not reading allot about electronics but I would consider myself at least an average consumer. You need Digital Audio CD's and, if you want to record from another CD Player digitally, be sure that player has digital output. If it has only Optical digital output, you then need a fiber optic chord which is rather expensive and does NOT come with this unit. So be aware of what else you will need before buying. Otherwise, a nice unit.

Summary: A Great Product but not one to rush into...(making cds)
Review: I purchased this machine "elsewhere". It made CDs easily, but when I tried to play them on any other player, it would not work (yes, duh, they were CDRs not CDRWs). I took the machine back to the store for a refund and can't find any other price-comparable machine.

Summary: High quality, easy to use, with handy remote.
Review: Mine doesn't like Memorex CD-R audio disks, yielding a 50% OPRFAIL result, but so far 100% success with other brands tried. Very easy to use. Looks nice, yields superb quality digital audio disks. Wonderful for archiving "lost" oldies that can still be found around on tape in your closet somewhere. Would prefer the display numbers were a little clearer, since a "7" is hard to distinguish from a "1", but this is a small concern. Instantly see how much time is recorded or how much remains available. For manual track incrementation (where no clean, three-second pause exists between songs), has excellent pause feature and automatically increments track when resumed, with the remote providing a very handy and reliable means of doing this. Couldn't be easier to use, and the quality is superior.

Summary: A Great Product but not one to rush into...(making cds)
Review: This cd-r has an array of uses that make your music life mucheasier. You can copy those cds that always seen to get scratched up,you can even record from other sources such as tapes, vinyl etc.

However, you must READ the instructions. I'm not kidding you about this. When I started, I encountered several upsets listed below. It is recommended that you use a CD-RW disc for the first time which I now recommend!

1. Improper wire hookup to my reciever. 2. Overloading your cd, YOU MUST LEAVE 7 seconds on the cd or it will not work 3. Cds skipping while recording.

Once those things are handled, it works like a charm...sound quality is even stronger when it is recorded on a good system (e.g. BOSE speakers and a good reciever).

Summary: COMPACT and SIMPLE TO USE
Review: This is one of the best electronic items I have ever purchased. The CD recorder is VERY EASY to use. Just put in a disk, Press Record, and press play on whatever source you are copying. Then Press two buttons to "finalize" the disk. it's that simple. The unit is compact and unobtrusive. I cannot recommend it higher---I have been making my own cds for days now! Thanks AMAZON for the fast shipment and great pice!
