errors phed 46 most errors occur on this cd recorder because of the cd's and not the recorder always buy cd's for music and not normal cd's also fresh cd dates work better than old stock . December 27, 2009
OK, but frustrating I've been using this to transfer LPs to CD and also made mixed music CDs. When it works, it's great. However, I've had numerous problems with the labeling device, trying to copy a CD I've made, and numerous "errors" with completed CDs. The sound is very good, and recording from an analog source will actually improve the quality of the sound, but I've had to throw out dozens of discs due to TOC errors or editing errors, and so on, using several different brands of blank music CDs.

Great Product I purchased this product to record all my old vinyl records, cassette tapes, and reel-to-reel tapes to CD's. Have recorded over 200 records and tapes so far and it works great. Have another 140 to go. Reproduction is perfect. Am using the analog connections with old stereo equipment with no problem. Yes, you have to use music cd's. Data cd's are for computers. It is a little difficult to learn, but what computer based product isn't. Finished CD's work in my car cd player and portable cd units with no problem. The 5 disc player also works great. This recorder is a lot easier than trying to hook up something to a computer and record to the computer then transfer to a CD. January 22, 2009
SONY RCD W500C THE SONY RCD W500C USES AUDIO/MUSIC CDR'S ONLY!!! IF YOU USE A DATA CD YOU WILL GET A ERROR MESSAGE..."DATA DISC". January 17, 2009
