buescher23's Full Review: Sony RCD-W500C 5-Disc CD Changer / Recorder
I purchased this device primarily to convert vinyl to CD. The manual is good, but not great in the "manual recording" section. Time to read TOC (30 seconds to two minutes) is totally unacceptable. Unable to record FROM commercially computer burned original CD, which original PLAYS just fine. (If this is to be expected, the manual should day so). Recording from vinyl source was totally unacceptable in quality--flutter and dropouts made result unlistenable. After recording a test of exactly one track, record deck refused to finalize (reported a TOC error). Changer is OK, easy to program, but those don't make up for failure to perform basic function. Don't pay attention to my "sound" score below--there was no way to select "unable to judge." I have returned the machine to the retailer.
