The sound quality seems much better to me than the sound of many albums I have as CD's. If you take your time reading over the manual and to get familar with the controls, you should not have any problems. The sound quality seems very smooth and has much more range than a cassette tape. It is very enjoyable to get an older album on vinyl on to a CD format. I have never had any problem getting a CD to finalize. I am using TDK Music CD-R's to record. I purchased the Sony RCD-W500C at the suggestion of a friend at work.
I am very pleased with the sound of the albums recorded on a CD format. I have many older albums that I wanted to try and record on a CD format. I spent about a week reading over the manual and another day or so getting familar with the controls on the deck. I have had very good results using Sony products.
So before you start read it over and over. I agree with everybody else on the instruction book that it's really confusing. On the Sony RCD-W500C/W100 I bought one about a month ago and have been pleased with it. I am able to record from CD to CD even thou I have not figure out how to adjust the volume while recording from CD to CD, and from Tape to CD which I can control the volume when recording from Tape to CD. I eventually will figure out how to set the volume when recording from CD to CD but I hate to mess with what I am able to do now considering all the bad feedback on this recorder.
When you are recording live the make next track function is very useful to create breaks for the next song. It took a little bit to get through the instruction book, but once I mastered it, it has all of the functions I need. This player recorder is really good, I use it every week at our church to record our praise service. We now have two, one for each sanctuary. The only thing I do not like is when nothing is happening it stops recording or creates lots of tracks, I now control that through the pause button.
Unfortunately, I hadn't tried to make any CDs in a while so I'd forgotten some of the basics, and I have to agree with many of the people who have already mentioned that the manual is poorly and confusingly written. Once you get the basics down, this recorder is fairly easy to use.Just incidentally, I initially inquired at both Best Buy and Target about CD recorders, and the 20something clerks had no idea what I was talking about.
Also, I found the directions on how to connect a turntable or other outside element to the RCDW500C to be lacking and I had a little trouble doing that. Otherwise, it has performed well and I have made several fun compilation CDs so far.
I previously owned a Sony CD recorder with which I was very happy, but it was damaged in a move from one state to another. They insisted that what I wanted was a burner for my computer or something to hook up to my iPod.
I bought the RCDW500C because I figured it would be similar, which it is, except for having more drawers. There are a few other minor differences, but it essentially works the same.
I'm not sure they knew what stereo components are, let alone a turntable.
i hate mini disc and by the way people this is not from sony's quality days sony hasnt been good since 2002 get an old sony cassette deck for recording thats top notch it will work ten times better then this i guarentee i gave this a try and sent it back it wouldnt work for me at all
