"I can record CDs from my Tascam 424 8 track recorder, and also record songs from cassettes, LPs and even 8 track cassettes by connecting an A V cable to an old entertainment console."
"I and my staff seem pleased with the CDR 20."
"So if you're planning on doing a lot of mixes, a computer model might be more convenient ... Also, this unit will only record onto certain "Audio" CDRs, which are more expensive than the computer CDRs ... but I can hardly complain about having to pay 60 or 70 cents per disc to round out my jazz/world music collection. One word of advice: while this unit allows you to push the tray in with your finger manually, I recommend using the buttons alongside the trays; it seems like pushing on the unit causes strain and may eventually effect the alignment of the laser. It's an attractive unit, and all in all, I feel it is worth the [money] I spent, and I'm glad to be a member of the digital revolution!"
"I don't know if this unit will wear out a year or two down the line, but right now I'd recommend it to anyone... Well, I had the unit about a year before one of the decks started glitching out - So I replaced it with a great Sony combo 5-disc changer / dual deck recorder RCD W-500C - The Sony outperforms the HK in features, functioning, and just about every area except looks - Harman Kardon makes great receivers, but you can forget about their CD players & recorders..."
"I bought the unit and immediately noticed low level static when I made a mix but thought it had to do with my connections. I recently bought a new receiver and connections and have repeatedly had problems with static something like a "scratched record" sound."
"I thought that this deck would be a great idea because I had a huge project in mind - the conversion of all of my vinyl to CD. For about one year, I diligently used the CDR20 to record my precious vinyl to compact disks. About two months into my ownership of the Music Hall, I devised to run a comparison between the two machines, the CDR20 and the Music Hall. He couldn't believe the diffence in musical experience between the two machines."

"A few comments; In the fluorescent display there are a few segments lit that shouldn't be. The front feet are large brushed aluminum, like all the feet on my system, but the rear feet are the typical small round rubber feet that seem to always be on really cheap components."
"This is one fine recorder and economical in its use of recording functions."
"OUR CHURCH REALLY LIKE THIS RECORDER."
"It copies VHS taps to DVD as stated and by using a HDMI to s-video and Component converter box bought on Amazon.com. I was able to record my Online classes so I could review them and replay sections that I had trouble understanding."

Find Best Price at Amazon"(one of the stores was an electronics store). I realize that I am older but I am not that old (79) and still appreciate listening to my reasonably extensive CD collection and I still purchase CD's, and I apparently wrongly assumed clerks still knew about components."
"I also use the 'programable' feature to program certain songs on specific CDs (i.e create a playlist of any of the songs on the CDs you put in) - it's always worked for me."

"Works great with our Sony system."
"very satisfied with it and fast delivery."
"This piece of equipment arrived on time and intact."
"I had been looking for a single-channel home tape drive for some time at local electronics reatailers with no success when I came upon this unit after a brief online search. I picked up a dual tape unit at a used record store but it soon died, so I was happy to find this one, and at a lower price than I would have expected even for a single-tape unit."
"Got a second sent to replace it but after looking it over and playing it, it's a cheap plastic unit that looks more impressive in the picture."
