I purchased the recorder for my husband after his 20 yr. old Phillips wasn't recognizing the discs anymore. He has recorded several playlists and the only thing he noticed was the unit hummed and vibrated a bit during the first hour of use.

This TASCAM direct-to-CD recorder has exceeded my expectations in every way. It is just compact enough while still being usable for adult hands, it has a nice clear display, the operation is unbelievably simple, the transport buttons are totally standard and familiar, the quality of the recorded...

We are a small church and we have no one with much technology experience or knowledge. This was so easy to operate and recorded wonderfully. I truly would recommend this to anyone. If we can operate this and record our services anyone can also.

This CD recorder kinda reminds me of my Nakamichi Tape decks. The controls are easy to use and the sound quality is good. I use the Tascam to record my LPs to CD. The fade in requires that the sync be turned off for recording LPs. I waisted a few CDs finding this out.

Unit works really well, however the owners manual leaves much to be desired. If your already familiar with the operation parameters you'll be fine. But a newbie like me was pretty confused at first. Again, this all comes down to the manual. It's not very clear on what does what and how to do it.

  ALOT of operation possibilities. Does everything and then some! Just read owners manual and get very familiar with it!

  Owners manual can be very vague and confusing to a point. Use a CDRW at first so you don't waste CDR's learning all the features and such...

Tascam is as good as you might expect from a Professional recorder. The owners manual is 36pgs long but covers all aspects of what you are trying to record, You MUST read it to understand some of the points of recording.

This device is excellent for burning CD's. I use it to transfer my recorded music from Tascam DP O3 to CD RW900 MK II . It took a little tweaking for connectivity (wiring) to KRK monitors to both Tascam recorders. I called Randy (Sweetwater sales engineer).

I highly recommend this product! This is the only recorder that I have found that you don't have to use a CD with audio label! It also records great quality of music. Great for recording live singing, vinyl records, and etc! I have made many CDs with it already!

Bought this to replace a Phillips stand alone recorder which was starting to give me problems reading disc, but after all it was probably 20 years old and recorded thousands of disc, so that said I really like the Tascam , especially the capability to adjust left and right recording levels, also the...

  Individual L&R recording level adjustments and headphone volume

  So far none

I purchased the CD-RW900SL (slot loading design) several years ago...it faces mechanical troubles, however, this model is identical as it provides a reliable loading system...I like this model...very good.
