Review 4 of 13 Summary:
A very good unit for recording own CDs from digital and analog sources. It is very easy to use, like a cassette deck. You can compile your own CDs easily, even from digital and analog sources on the same CD, and until the CD is not finalized yet you can also add tracks in later "sessions". But sometimes you have to discard CD-R's when you have made a mistake (for example you recorded the wrong source, or when you backup an old vinyl record and the needle skips, or when the telephone/doorbell rings you cannot always stop the recording process immediately). After this happened a few times, I now use CD-RW's when I copy "unknown" analog sources and edit those recordings with my PC, where I burn the "final" CD. But in general, you don't need to use computer CD-R's on this unit any more, because audio CD-R's are much less expensive than they were in the late 90s. This Philips CD-R recorder now has completely replaced my cassette decks for recording purposes. My old cassettes often do sound dull or play too slowly - my CD-R's will have a very much longer lifetime with the same sound quality as when they were new.
Strengths:
digital and analog recordings are as good as the original, unit is very easy to use Weaknesses:
a little bit too much plastic (though built more solid than most current models), no correction possible when you have made a mistake while recording, it does not accept all 80min CD-R's Similar Products Used:
CD-ROM burner in PC
