Reviews around product (5.00 of 5)

  • EVERYTHING WAS AS ADVERTISED AND IS A WONDERFUL PRODUCT.
  • a much better product than the Phillips recorder-player it replaced
  • Quick delievery, and all components seem to be working fine, refurbished product but everything seems to be in good condition
  • but I found that the directions were clear and the product was easy to use.
  • I have noticed that if one does not have the proper type input signal set on the machine (digital or analog) or the proper CD-R in the machine, the recorder will not recognize the input signal.

  • good machine, cd- to cd, record works great, will need to reveiw and learn many commands to record from analog, so far i am satisfied, i had a KLM', for 4 years before it died, and could not be fixed, this machine is a reconditioned, and was a good price at around 200.00, good luck,
  • exactly what i was looking for with some bonuses, good price.

  • The main recommendation for the Sony 5 disc CD recorder is the price.
  • I ordered the Sony RCDW500C disc player recorder based on the extemely positive experiences I continue to have on Amazon, and it was the best price I could find on the internet.

Reviews around sound (5.00 of 5)

  • The sound of the recordings seems exactly the same as the sound source, even though vinyl records are supposed to have a richer sound.
  • The SBM feature really sharpens the overall sound of the LP and cleans it up well
  • that the one side is a 5 disc changer and the sound is great

Reviews around job (5.00 of 5)

  • It does do a fine job in just copying an entire disc...beyond that
  • Obviously not all of the vinyl records have come thru without it's share of clicks and giggles, but I have a KLH TNE/DNF devices that do a great job of reducing them

Reviews around quality (5.00 of 5)

  • If you are looking in the market for a good quality CD burner look no further
  • Since all music is automatically compressed in digital form, the quality of the audio isn't even worth converting to CD (at least to me).
  • On Advent Heritage speakers, the four feet high kind, or Sennheiser HD 600 headphones, which have an incredible sound quality, I can hear no difference.

Reviews around shape (5.00 of 5)

  • i was able to obtain as found it is no longer being produced by sony and i use this recorder lots as it can copy anything transmitted into my stereo-product also came fairly fast withing the estimated time frames given earlier and in good shape given the distance travelled-thought there would be more savings to buying from US but found not much difference after adding in taxes, shipping and cross border duty fees-cost worked out almost same as buying in canada-the customer service contact was fast and reliable so no issues w/ product support.no hesitation in buying from this source again.
  • It was received in good shape but will not pause so he can not burn the music like he wants too.

Reviews around cd (4.26 of 5)

  • If you are looking in the market for a good quality CD burner look no further
  • So - I ran across the Sony and $230 was a pretty good lure - it does make a nice CD but has a couple distractable quirks 1
  • My past experience has been many don't work because unless the blank CDs are PERFECT ( any small manufacturing defect can cause them NOT to work) and the slightest dust/vibration can result in failure
  • Admittedly, I don't make CDs constantly like some but one year later, it continues to work great!
  • I have noticed that if one does not have the proper type input signal set on the machine (digital or analog) or the proper CD-R in the machine, the recorder will not recognize the input signal.

  • I wrote to Amazon and they gladly took the unit back and refunded the whole amount.
  • All CD to CD recording is done internally and digitally from deck A to deck B resulting in excellent data transfer between the discs as long as the unit doesn't have "disc error" problems which happen quite frequently
  • This unit worked til the warranty ran out then jammed with my media inside.
  • this unit is great to record on for a dj and for home use

Reviews around disc (1.80 of 5)

  • If you want to go ahead anyway, make sure you use CD-RW and not CD-R discs because you will need to erase frequently and start over
  • Also, received a C13 Error - not successful because of Vibration or a dirty disc -- the error message was not true because there was no vibration or dirty disk.
  • The first unit I got worked about 3 weeks, then had trouble finalizing discs and eventually stopped functioning
  • Plus, I had purchased a disc printer and needed to use white face discs compatible with thermal printing.
  • My project is to transfer vinyl LPs and cassettes to CD and wasted about 20 discs to get 2 usable ones.
