Fine recorder, if you have the remote
This is an excellent CD recorder, made by LG Electronics in Korea around the turn of the century. Like all "consumer" recorders it requires the "Music" CD-Rs, but unlike many other models of its era it still works with currently-available discs. I've been using the slightly later CDR 20 for a couple years, and the only trouble I've had is with certain batches of CMC discs (Verbatim, especially) but those don't seem to work on a lot of recorders. The main problem with the Harman Kardon recorders are that they require the remote control to manually add tracks; in fact the "auto-track increment" function, which works poorly with analogue sources, can only be activated with the remote. There are a few minor issues, such as the level "meters" lacking any warning of where "overload" is about to happen, and the light bars go out from the center of the display, left and right, making it hard to set channel balance. The display also runs the track numbers into the time display. It also "forgets" the settings for "input" when powered down, though again from the remote it can be put into "standby" mode where the setting is retained. An odd item I've had happen a couple times on the CDR 2 is that the "remaining time" shows a couple minutes more than exist on the disc; this seems an intermittent problem, and does not affect the recording. I've been using Maxell discs, which are made by Ritek, and have had no problems playing them back on other machines. The sound quality is good, the recorder very well made. It doesn't add tracks as smoothly, from "stop" mode or to a partially-filled disc, as the Philips recorders did, but is fine from "pause" during a recording session. In all a very good recorder, when found it working condition, but make sure it comes with, or that you have, the remote.Verified purchase: Yes

Hard to find configuration
For 15 years I had a dual deck Yamaha CD recorder, on which I dubbed about 1500 recordings. When it died with parts unavailable, I found this Harmon Kardon, which is a good replacement. It's no secret that the movie industry is trying to replace CD's with online streaming, which is a very bad idea from my perspective. The reason is that in the past when an older format, such as vinyl, was made obsolete, many of those recordings never appeared in any form ever again. Similarly, when the entertainment industry (and Netflix, Amazon Prime etc.) do away with DVD's in favor of online streaming, many excellent titles simply disappear. My point is by putting your collection on CD or DVD, you prolong the inevitable disappearance of titles. HOWEVER, over time I've found that CD's deteriorate and even can become unplayable. Bottom line, this Harmon Kardon piece serves a purpose.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A thorough disappointment!
Unfortunately this unit was created with a faulty second cd drawer. We have one, too with the same issues and we’re hoping to find another model that was free of challenges, however that was not the case. Though claims of machinery being tested were stated, we did not find this to be the case. A thorough disappointment!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
