Tascam Professional CD Recorder/Player (CDRW900SX)

Back in the 70's, during my military days, I was the proud owner of a reel-to-reel tape deck made by Teac (that's Tee-ack, not Teek, as some people pronounced it) That tape deck was built like a tank; heavy, solid, and it performed like the champ it was. When I found out that Tascam, the professional arm of Teac, offered a CD recorder that was a cut above the standard consumer models, I jumped at the chance to buy one. I'm so glad I did!This recorder did not disappoint! This machine is extremely easy to use, makes awesome recordings, and is packed with features that make it more appealing to the casual user, as well as the professional . It can record not only on the more expensive music CD-R and CD-RW blanks, but also on the less expensive CD-R and CD-RW discs intended for use on computers. There's no difference in quality. It features the usual analog inputs and outputs, as well as both coaxial and optical digital connections. I recommend the use of the coaxial connections, although both work well. The recorder also allows you to add CD Text to the discs you record, so you can get readouts on players that support the feature, of the title and artist of each song, title of the disc, etc. No outboard keyboard needed, although you can use one if you choose.I'm a very happy camper with this recorder. It's not cheap, but it's worth every penny you'll spend for it. The owner manual is easy to understand. If you don't need the rack mounts on it, they can be removed. I think you'll be as happy with this CD recorder as I am.

So far so good

Excellent, I like this item thank you very much.++++++++

Tascam makes an incredible piece of machinery. I am very grateful to the condition that it came in.

I was at first a little disappointed but after 50 hours of burn in this is a very good CD recorder. Playing CDRs recorded with my original Pioneer the sound overall is clear and very accurate. The only real complaint is the owners manual. I practiced recording using CDRW music disc to explore all of the functions. My original Pioneer unit has problems with the newer CDR music discs. Since I have only used this with CDR music discs I cannot comment on how well this unit will record standard computer CDR. Since CDs are being fazed out this was the only game in town. My other CD players are over 20 years old so I wanted a back-up. This unit fills the bill !

It did what I needed it to do.

It works great does exactly what I need it to do.

I liked the product but it did not fix our problem and returned the prosduct.
