Summary: Don't buy this one
Review: Worked great when I first got it; made great copies to keep in my truck and nice mixes for parties. Then it started to get unreliable; CD's would play in one player and NOT AT ALL in another or CD's would record but sound like really scratchy LP's (copies made from an original right out of the wrapper!) I think that anyone who gives this product a great review has either just bought it (like I also would have at the time) or is just LUCKY to have gotten a good one. Not throwing good money after bad to have it repaired; other reviews I've read have convinced me.

Summary: This product is a waste of money
Review: You'll be guaranteed disappointment if you waste your money on this item. I know.I purchased this unit new, and it worked great for 14 months. I recorded both CDs and my piano playing (mics right into the back of the Philips unit) for family and it was flawless. I'm not sure what the deal is with other reviews about non-Philips CD-Rs, but Memorex CDs worked fine in my Philips unit. The problem is that two months out of warranty, the CD-R module went bad. I mean really bad, to the tune of $641 and $617 as the two estimates to fix it. Unit won't record, won't playback on one side, and now is a very expensive single-CD player. Would you pay twice as much as new to get it fixed? Neither would I. After discussions with other CD-RW owners, there are clearly better options out there; read other reviews. . .but if you choose to purchase this item, you will be hoping it's not one of the many many lemons that Philips has issued. Let the buyer beware!
