I purchased this unit after checking out many others- my only real objection is that it's black (that's why I didn't give it 5 stars), I would have preferred a wood grain, but aside from that the only problem I found was it's inability to sense the spaces between the tracks all the time. The sensor works about 80% of the time depending on the condition of the original, but of course you can easily do it manually. I was using it successfully about 5 minutes out of the box- one important thing- it needs "music" CD's not "computer" CD's. Not that easy to find and the retail store clerks didn't know there were two types of CD's. Finally I found them at Radio Shack. All in all it's a great unit and I recommend it highly.

Having hoarded about 700 LPs and cassettes for decades, it's finally time to archive them and sell them on Amazon. My mom and stepdad bought a cheaper unit and they were less than thrilled with it, though it works for them; I'm more finicky with my music. TEAC to the rescue!

I have had no serious problems with this unit yet, having made 7 CDs from Abba thru Bachman-Turner Overdrive. My only real issue is that the turntable is pretty lightweight for the money; I miss the professional-grade heavy-duty record players of the past, but I guess I could lay out another few hundred for that.

Still, the recorder works quite well for my purpose, if you don't rely on the autotrack feature to start new tracks on your CDs; so far that's only worked well with a chrome Abba cassette. (LP surface noise tends to fool the sensor into thinking there's still something playing that shouldn't be broken into two tracks.)

Machine works well and is easy to operate. Instructions must be read carefully. When recording your Told to press record, however you must also press play to actually start the recording process. Also, the turntable produces poor quality. You get 100% better quality by pluggung in a remote turntable of good quality into the Aux jacks in the rear of the machine. I'm recording 33 rpm's that are over 50 years old and except for some scratches on some of the records, the reproduced quality of sound is excellent.
