petenoak's Full Review: Sony RCD-W500C 5-Disc CD Changer / Recorder
Sony have a winner here. The 5-disc changer works smoothly and faster than others I've used. Overall I like the quality of this machine. By comparison I recommend a "pass" on Philips models.

Sony have added "manual track advance" to their more recent models. You can now copy to CD analog music that has quiet passages without the automatic track advance system adding unnecessary track markers. A number of additional optional features are nice: Fade in/out, Digital Level Control, SBM (which is supposed to improve sound of analogue and mp3), Post Gap Silence, etc. There are analogue and optical digital inputs/outputs but no coaxial digital connections.

There is no microphone input (not many machines have it) and you can't use a keyboard to input text. Personally, he only thing that bugged me was that you can't use high speed recording one track at a time to copy a program. At least I couldn't figure out how to do this. TDK machines allow you to do high speed copying one track at a time to make a program. So you program Deck A (really easy with this Sony), go out for a donut and let the machine copy to Deck B in real time.
