I've recently started collecting LP's and certain music I've been looking for cannot be found on the web, so browsing through thrift stores and checking out used vinyl has been the way to go for me. Then I wanted to take my LP's and burn them onto CD-ROM or MP-3 and this is the way to go. You have to go through too much on a computer to do such a simple task and this is NOT rocket science! I bought this baby used on Ebay and it is a great piece of equipment for recording LP's onto CD, and? If you have a good Stereo Equalizer (turntable to EQ in, EQ output to Audio In of the CD Burner) you can make some real magic with recording. I'm extremely pleased with the Pioneer and think it's a way better product than the Philips CD-recorder that I had that was short lived.
Even after 12 years, this unit still makes good recordings and is useful for making in-studio recordings. Sound is smooth, clean and accurate. Unless you can get this unit at a price under $100, this might not be the first unit to choose if you're planning to convert your vinyl to CD. Lack of convenience features when recording from analog sources drive this recommendation. For example, analog recording does not end in a few seconds when there is no audio, the auto-track function does not create tracks accurately, and all track increments must be done manually while recording. You must be there from start to finish. This might not be a bad thing if you want to revisit your collection in real time. Other issues: there is no microphone input, the unit is somewhat finicky about the brand and characteristics of CD-R and CD-R/W used, and the remote control does not work over a long distance, and might not work reliably across the room.Read full review
Bought this at a local thrift store a couple of years ago. Just a guess, but I have recorded at least 75 CD-R's in analog mode so far and have not lost one disc due to mechanical failure in the recorder. I have a user manual for the machine but have not been able to use the digital/optical mode successfully when recording. I also have a Denon CDR-1000 which was bought around 12 years ago as a close out model. The Denon fails during recording at least 10-15% of the time when recording. So much for the supposed better Denon brand name when it comes to successes each time a recording is attempted. I also have 2 other 2 slot recorders. The only thing to like about these is the ease of recording a CD-R in one machine. I have not been able to figure out how to add a short group of mixed songs from a CD to fill out remaining available blank space, so I use the Denon to fill out discs. Better to have a number of these machines given the problems encountered with any given model. Music discs are not cheap, so fill them out to the end if possible.Read full review
Easy to use, recording can be tricky best if you have the owners manual which can be purchased reproduced. I see some buyers, some have info how to record & finalize & also check U-tube for more infos. Made well in the days that audio equipment was bitterly-build! Recommended!
