I am more than pleased with this recorder I have only done a few recordings but it is wonderful and most of all the people there at Chruchfield help me as I am a senior and love music so needed this Sony to transfer from cassettes to c d and I feel this will do the job. I have been with these people about 25 years and they are great Happy Holidays bets from Crutchfield.com I bought this unit a month ago, and though I have had it a short time, I have recorded on nearly (20) CDs to their full length. It has worked Flawlessly! from Circuitcity.com I didn't expect much after reading all of the negative reviews. The price was to good to pass up and with the 30 day money back policy I took a chance. I have burned 30 discs so far and all have worked on all of my players. from Circuitcity.com I purchased the CD player/recorder to record CDs of our church services and distribute them to the elderly. When I installed a recordable CD into Deck B I kept getting a 'Data Disk' on the screen. from Circuitcity.com I use this to convert my vinyl LP's to wav files for MP3 and back-ups. I have a great turntable that is hooked up via analogue (stero) and s/pdif (digital). from Abt.com CD quality is excellent once you master the operation of the recorder. The instructions are hazy and causes one to fumble around a bit during the learning process, Once mastered, it's a good machine. from Circuitcity.com To everyone attempting to make a copy of commercial pre-recorded CDs. This unit complies with the Serial Copy Management System. from Circuitcity.com Pros: price, set up, quality, sound Cons: may be difficult for a novice! This machine burns terrific CDs. from Yahoo.com Strengths: Records lp Weaknesses: The manual was not really writen well Summary: I have been looking for something to recored all my lp's and the Sony recorder works great. I have read alot of negative reviews on several other products that are meant to do the same, but this is just what I have been looking for. from Pricegrabber.com My most extensively used piece of audio equipment. This has been a good unit for my live -recordings in my home studio and for compiling CD tracks from up to five other discs. It's fairly simple to learn the manual and the interface with other audio components is simple with either AV cables or optical cable. from Circuitcity.com
