Price Paid:  $499.00 from Circuit City

Summary:
Meant as part of an audio system, this is one of the first AUDIO CD burners, vs one using a PC.
Very clean specs, I use it constantly to burn for friends and for family archiving.
Fixed in the later models, this 1st generation can be tricked into burning onto blank CDROMS: you let the player read the blank udio disc, then manually open the drawer and replace the disc with a CDROM blank to record. The Audio-only discs are so cheap now that this isn't necessary though.....Solid.

Strengths:
Simple operation, very clean sound, pure digital transfers.

Weaknesses:
Edit mistakes can't be bypassed as on later models. Confusing remote.
