Had mine 5 years. Recordings come out brighter than input which causes many redo's while guessing at the EQ settings. Drops out of rec mode after a minute or so while you adjust the input mix. LH trays stopped working leaving 3 CDs stranded inside. Otherwise a decent product, but I'm moving on to something else.

I have read some bad reviews on this machine, but I tell you what.. for me this machine has been simply fantastic. It is a hell of a lot cheaper than other machines out there, and if you know how to use it, you will love it. The sound quality is excellent. For best sound use the optical input. It has been beaten up pretty badly since I bought it, and it still functions like new! Do NOT record over 70 minutes at 1 time, thats the only drawback. If you do, sometimes you will recieve an error message. Just record 70 min, then pop in another cd, then put together on computer.

I've owned this unit for 5-6 years with hardly any problem. I suppose it's more complicated then some and the owner's manual could be clearer but I mastered everything on it, including many of my own copies. The shuffle mode NEVER worked as well as I hoped but no biggie. Xmas day '08 it stopped working! Doesn't recognize discs, trays won't open and NOTHING will play. So now i have 5 of my favorite xmas CD's stuck in the machine.... Now what?

It's good if you know how to work with Audio Equipment that's for sure. Wasted a lot of CD's it turns out you must use a MUSIC CD, MAXWELL works out best. You can record on a MUSIC CD then download that to your computer and use a data CD to duplicate on your computer. Keep the manual handy you'll need it to figure this out.

I am proud to say that I have been using this unit for several years now with NO problems whatsoever. The main thing to do is use the cds MUSIC cds only - not just any cdr blank cd because it can not record on those. I used this to transfer my band's audio from our live video recordings from our live recorded gigs from the past years down to cd and I could not have done that without this unit. The audio that you put/record to cd using this unit is what you will get on playback so the record level feature on this unit is priceless! I also used a 14 band stereo eq in between my record player and this unit while recording and all I can say is it is unreal! Get one of these!
