One fantastic unit! For the price you could ask for nothing more. Just follow the directions. While the meters are slow, its no big deal. Just average it out. For transferring tapes this is a very easy machine to use, again read the directions. The sync recording makes transferring tape a snap.

It works great and the CD's sound fine. I had a Phillips burner before and it went bad so after a few years I bought this one primarily because I have a big vinyl collection and it's the only way to convert vinyl to digital.

This machine makes very nice CDs and would would be great if you only intend to dub whole discs. However, the Play and Pause buttons do not work immediately 100% of the time. These are critical functions when recording individual selections from other discs.

I had one of the first ones many years ago. They're durable, reliable, easy to use and make excellent CDRs. My last one finally died early this year after 15 years of heavy use. Highly recommended.

Seems identical to Teac cd-rw880 that died after 2000 or so recordings Panel stopped respondingWorks perfect easy to use very good quality CDs just hope this one lasts longer

Arrived very quickly than scheduled date , safe no damage ! I plugged it in and connected to my stereo system and started recording : works perfect , sounds awesome , easy to use , no fancy buttons , etc. I have connected to my Onkyo AM/FM Stereo receiver TX-8511 100 watts , Audio Source EQ-11 Equalizer , and my Sony SS-FL7000 4 way towers . Perfect !. If you like to record on CD's this is the one . Great for recording old cassettes tapes , records , the FM , Internet , Etc. I did own the…

as a 1st time user, I had to study the directions and experiment with a couple of discs but have finally mastered the art of copying to cd. Keep the directions close at hand because you will need to review them often as you don't use this machine often. I like to have all my favorite music on one disc instead of carrying all of them.

Easy to use compared to the Phillips I got from Fry's. Very good quality and seems reliable. I love recording my 45 R.P.M. records to CD with this.

A good CD recorder, for transferring from old LPs or tape , or just recording music or "voice with a mic", The reason for only four stars, this CD recorder/player has no stand-by or power switch button on the remote, the only power button is on the player/recorder,"not very convenient" unless you intend on leaving it powered-up all the time, hopefully the manufacture will make the change someday and add this feature, also when recording it would be nice to have had a button on…

This unit DOES make decent CD recordings and for the money you really can't complain, but there are a few issues you might want to know about. I wish I'd had the chance to demo this unit before I bought it, so maybe I can at least warn you so that if you want to spend a bit more to get increased features you can decided if you need to or not. One big problem with this deck is the level meters only have a few segments, so it can be very hard to keep from going over zero db unless you spend a lot

Unit is easy to use and records great, just had to read the instructions carefully to use unit. Would liked to have more information on what different features are used for other wise a great product.

Teac products are always great, it works great to duplicate and record my albums and cd collection, thank you. That's my review.

I'm happy that these are still available for a reasonable price. It does the job for my music/band room to both record performances and let me play with play along CDs

It works perfectly with Maxell-625335(CD-R Music) Audio Disc.I have had Teac CD-RW890 MK2 for almost a year now,COM ERROR problems onlyoccur with BAD BLANK DISC.Use Maxell CD-R MUSIC DISC.

his is an excellent product! It almost got returned: I was unable to use the erase function, and called Walmart. The rep told me that it didn't work; that it was only decorative.Fortunately, I called TEAC. I was not using re-writable discs. This unit makes excellent recordings, and most of my cassettes (pre-recorded and home-made) are now safely on CD's! And the TEAC support staff is also excellent!

The deck is easy to use, and it does not do the inappropriate things that my first burner did. My first recorder was 13 years old, and its peculiar behavior was documented by other people in their reviews of it. I like the fact that Finalizing takes about 45 seconds to complete, where my old Philips took 2-1/2 minutes to complete Finalizing, when it chose to do so at all.

Is a good recorder for the price. No hard drive to store media for burning, you must play into and record at same time, this can be troublesome if you forget to track mark or mess up a song, you cannot re-do it on cdr. Cdrw you can. Four stars/

It is as designed for home use, but I get clicks and pops between songs. I wrote to Teac - they informed me that this model is not set up for mixing tracks. It needs a different layout to punch in and out. They recommended the Tascam CD-RW900, so I asked for a refund on this. I can't make CD's for people and have that problem. As an aside, I've been going round and round with the seller because he claims the unit was sent back in "terrible condition". If that is the case, then someone…
