Review: Don't waste your money, you'll never get your money out of this product. Philips has NO customer service so why they call it that is beyond me. Good luck if you decide to buy this ....

Summary: Lame Burner
Review: I agree with the other poor reviews for this
product. Ive had mine less then a yr and have
only used it to burn. Now one of the disc drives
is broken and frustration is high. Seeing alot of
Disc Error and No Disc displays. I'll add that your
probably better off buying a burner for your computer.
Probably alot cheaper and easier to find economic
deals on blank CDR's

Summary: Excellent, but I had a suggestion.
Review: I had only one problem with this Philips CD Recorder that I wish that they could put a track increment button on the CD Recorder because if you lose the remote control you can't change tracks manually on analog recordings. I thought CD Recording was very hard to do, but Philips made a very easy to use CD Recorder. I highly recommend this CD Recorder if you are beginning to do CD Recording.

Summary: A Lemon of the First Order
Review: I made my purchase based on the reviews posted here, and I wound up with the first truly bad electronics purchase I've made in 40 years. I hate this machine. OK, as others have noticed, the sound quality is fine. (I should hope so, we're copying digitally!)The instruction manual is virtually useless. The main control,. the jog shuttle, is a real pain to use. Many functions are only on the remote, so should you misplace it, you're up a creek. The auto track setting is TOO long. It's the rare CD that has the required 1.7 second spaces between for the AutoTrack function to work, so you often wind up with CDs with songs clumped in threes and fours, or even no separated tracks at all. Resetting to manual is not only awkward and confusing (and not helped by the instructions), this means you wind up having to babysit your recordings and putting the track separations in. Worst of all, if you don't finalize your CD at the time of recording and take it out of the machine, or if you simply forget, or put it off to later, you can't go back and do it. The machine keeps telling you there is no disc. There is nothing in the instructions that forewarns you of this, nor is there any direction of any way to override this. This means wasted time and wasted money on blank CDs that you can't do anything with, not to mention SERIOUS aggravation if you've just spent seventy four minutes clicking spaces in for records you've recorded. My advice? Shop around. Get the facts before you make a four hundred dollar investment. You've been forewarned about a couple of major flaws!

Summary: Unbelievable quality
Review: I've had two CD burners in my lifetime, the first was a Pioneer, and frankly, out of the two, I like this one a lot better. My band and I made a demo CD, and we sold it to one of our friends. I came to his apartment one day, and he had it on. Our songs were so clear, it was unbelieveable. I asked if he had a new stereo, and he answered it was the same one (he is notorious for picking out bad equipment). It must be the burner, I thought. Today, I can mix and burn my own CDs, and take them to clubs, and the audio will just be unbelievable. The mixes are easy to stop, unlike some stereos, and you can easily turn up one instrument and turn down another. A good item, with wonderful sound.

Review: If you've ever tried to burn your own CD using a PC then you'll love the simplicity of the 770. It's as easy to hook up as a cassette deck - with the added bonus of digital ins and outs. Copying old LP's and cassettes to CD was effortless, and the results were amazing. Much, much better than with a PC (or with a Pioneer burner that I used prior to getting the 770). Making perfect digital CD compilations from my collection couldn't have been easier, and unlike PC CD burners, the CD's that the 770 burns are guaranteed to play in any CD player. Great for making mixes to listen in the car. I've had mine for nearly 2 years and have never experienced any problems. It's a great product!

Summary: GOOD QUALITY IF YOU LIKE BABYSITTING.....
Review: Somehow the 2.5 seconds delay for track switching was the decision of some Exec. that never recorded a tune, songs clumped together is what you get if you don't sit thru the recording session with the remote in hand for 74 min. The "disk error" in middle of the recording with no apparent reason is another pain, when this happens you can trash the disk because it's useless (can't finalize or continue recording). I've played around with it enough so if one way of recording doesn't work I try another till I get it to do what I want, but nevertheless it's frustrating at times. Really overpriced and not easy to use for any first timer. But once the bugs are known I still got some excellent sounding CD's done from all sources. LP's, Old Cassettes, etc... Nobody mentioned in these reviews but some of the CD's tend to skip for no apparent reason, never in the same place. Has anyone else had this problem? RFinal note do your Research or wait for the 5th or 6th Generation Burners.

Summary: Great
Review: This CD recorder is great for creating your own mix of CD's, and the best part is that you can play these CD's almost anywhere. I have also found that even older CD players play burned CD's. The great thing will be when rewriteable CD's become common because you can make rewriteable CD's in this player.
