Review on TEAC CD-RW890MK2-B Home Audio CD Recorder With Bluetooth - Black by Doug Hammett

This is a piece of junk -- surprising for a TEAC product. The led level mechanism is so poorly engineered that it is impossible to reach even the middle of the scale (assuming my unit is not defective). This results in a playback level that swings widely from one track to the next -- there being no way to even out the led level of the tracks without completely obscuring some of the softer tracks. It also makes listing to a CD while traveling in a car virtually impossible because the car CD volume won't go loud enough. Another major defect is this: Wishing to erase a track -- say, track 8 -- one has to erase every track that follows it. One cannot pick out track 8 and erase just it. The result here is that all the remaining tracks need to be re-recorded -- a very laborious process. Finally, the unit will merge multiple tracks into one unless the stop button is pressed after each recording. Yet, a short space between the recorded tracks was enough to separate tracks on virtually all CD recorders in use going back twenty years. But the big drawback here is the low limit to the led level. It renders the machine mostly worthless. I just hope I am able to return this to the seller.
