5.0 out of 5 stars Ready For The Switch To Digital? If So, Look No Further!, November 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Pioneer PD-R555RW CD Recorder (Electronics)

If you're ready for the switch to digital, look no further than here! This machine is unbelievable! It definately has it all. It has a digital input, which is only useful with a CD player or other unit with a digital output. It has, thank heavens, a headphone jack with it's own volume control! It has a volume monitor for analog to digital recording which is VERY useful. It has a somewhat cluttered remote, but which is very convinient. It also has some interesting features, like the ability (when duplicating a CD using the digital input) to skip certain songs on the original CD that you don't want on the CD you are recording. This comes in VERY handy if you can't be sitting in front of the unit the entire time it is recording. And, of course, it is CD-RW compatible, which is also very nice. There is no reason NOT to buy this machine, especially for the price. Believe me, I have shopped around and have not found a better price anywhere else but here at amazon.com. BUY THIS RECORDER NOW!

5.0 out of 5 stars Soon to be standard in every home, August 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Pioneer PD-R555RW CD Recorder (Electronics)

The sturdy warhorse known as the analog cassette is about to become extinct, thanks to this easy-to-use, great sounding unit. Optical and coaxial inputs enable digital to digital reproduction from compatible CD players (the copy management system prevents you from copying your copy, however), and an analog input enables you to record from any CD player, tape deck or other analog source. This unit is CD-RW compatible, but note that many other CD players are not, so be careful with RWs.

All in all, a great tool for making high quality copies or archiving of analog material, before it deteriorates. This will replace cassette decks. Get one today!

4.0 out of 5 stars Meet my expectations, November 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Pioneer PD-R555RW CD Recorder (Electronics)

Features that i like about this pioneer pd-r555rw: 1) FadeIn/FadeOut: gives you ability to start/stop recording songs in a smooth way. 2) AutoTrack: automatically gives you a trace # for different songs (if there is a silence period for 2 seconds before) 3) Pretty user friendly

There are a couple of problems i encountered: 1) I've bought some Memorex CD-R. Found out a couple of CD-R, after recorded, has problems(e.g: songs are "jumping"/skipping) I don't know if this is the CD problem or CD writer problem. I am going to try using other CD (e.g: TDK) to find out.
