What's in the Box CD player/recorder, remote control (with batteries), power cord, printed operating instructions
Weak remote control This product burns an original CD ok. But it requires a certain type of CD (digital audio). You WILL have to read the instructions carefully, but is works pretty good. However, I was disappointed in the short range of the remote control
Just what I was looking for! I almost bought a lp to mp3 product to record on my computer until I seen this product on Amazon.com. This is old school and I love it! Don't bother with the computer method this is much simpler to use and it works great. Just hook it up to your receiver and start recording your lp's in no time. You have to use the analog input for lp's by pushing the input button on the front panel until analog shows up on the display and then push the auto/manual button until the manual input comes up on the dispay. First put in a blank cd-r audio disc in the recorder and wait for the blank disc shows up on the display. Then play your record and push record and wait for record pause to show up and you can set your recording level by using the level plus or minus buttons. Once you have the optimal recording level set you are ready to record. You also have to manually track each song by pushing the record button between each song so you can separate the tracks. It helps if you write down the song times on a sheet of paper so you can know when the songs will end. This way you can assure you will track each song properly without any problems. I love it and I am getting back to recording my albums like I used to when I had a cassete recorder. I highly recomend this Teac cd-r recorder and soon you will be making your own cd audio disks and loving it!
Mostly Good I've had the Teac CD-RW880 since July 2008. I use it to copy my many LPs onto CDs for traveling and for work. It makes good audio CDs most of the time. I've made around 50 good CDs, and had to throw away maybe 10 bad disks. I've had the following troubles:
1. Playback: On a few CDRs that have a long tracks of 15 minutes or more, a CD recorded on the TEAC will sound choppy when played on the TEAC, but fine when played on regular CD players.
2. Audio CDRs are widely available, however, audio CD-RWs, the rewritable kind are NOT. I am down to my last three TDK re-writeable audio CDs. I like using CD-RWs to make the first copy because errors can be corrected.
3. Recording from other CD players with the digital input sometimes does not work. When it doesn't work I get "REC ERROR" or "LOAD ERROR" and it stops. This could be a problem causeed by my older CD-RWs.
I like the adjustable automatic track marking feature. It picks up most track changes when I adjust it up to -30db. If I have a noisy record it works most of the time.
Teac cd recorder Functions EXACTLY as advertised, finalizes quickly, works equally well w/ both Fuji, and TDK RW's. Minor complaint: the digital recording volume control is difficult to fade in/out, as it graduates in steps, and is not as smooth as a rheostat type vol control would be.
A much better and less expensive alternative I just received my TEAC unit today and I put the return paperwork on it and sent it right back to Amazon without opening it. Nothing was wrong with the unit. I have nothing against TEAC as I own a reel-to-reel and a cassette deck and both are outstanding. I had debated this for well over a year and sure enough as soon as I ordered it I found a better alternative - one that is way less money, does not require an engineering degree nor runs through your PC's soundcard. Check it out on Amazon - "Xitel INport Deluxe". Xitel INport Deluxe [Record From Your Stereo to Your Computer] It comes with cords and everything. Check out all the reviews on Amazon and especially on Xitel's site. Sony uses Xitel products. You can even download and print the manual (I was unsure about Vista). It shows you how simple it is and the cost is 70% less than the TEAC alternative. It works as advertsied. I found it locally, but Amazon has it $10 less than retail. A Best Buy!
If you're missing equipment like a computer, the TEAC is the way to go that's not too complicated.
