Amazon.com Product Description With a five-CD/dual-deck capacity and 4x dubbing speed, the Sony RCD-W500C does much more than merely play your favorite CDs--it lets you mix and burn your own. The device records on both CD-R and CD-RW formats, and is compatible with CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3 playback. To improve the recording quality, the RCD-W500C uses Super Bit Mapping technology to reduce low-level noise in the background, and High Speed Finalizing to prepare your recorded CDs for playback. You can also enter your own title and track information using the CD text entry feature.
Sony packs in such additional features as 24-step program play, two-mode repeat play (track/disc), one-touch synchro-start recording (which minimizes the awkward gap between songs on recorded discs), and a full-featured remote control. The unit also delivers a 24-bit analog-to-digital/digital-to-analog converter, plus a headphone jack with a separate volume control for listening in private. The company ensures that its listeners receive the best possible sound by using gold-plated audio terminals for its digital input and output (optical) and analog input and output (RCA type) outlets. The RCD-W500C carries a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

Not recommendedNovember 19, 2008 Sony RCDW500C Compact Disc Player / Recorder
Recording seems to be a hit-or-miss affair. I've recorded a full disk with no apparent problems only to have the unit fail to finalize the resulting disk. It would not even play it back. Also, although my unit is only 20 months old and has been very little used, the remote system no longer works (and no, it's not the battery). If you want reliability, buy something else!
Avoid This Like The PlagueOctober 21, 2008 Do not waste your time or money on this thing. I've had mine for a few years and it will ruin more blank discs than it will burn properly. I would guess that it has ruined somewhere around 75% of the discs I have tried to create. It will generally burn a few songs properly then give a TOC Error response which then renders the blank CD useless. The Owner's Manual is basically worthless as well. I have tried virtually every brand of "audio" CD available (even Sony) and none of them work consistently. Buyer beware !!!!..........
Familiar but I'm on my 4th oneOctober 19, 2008 I'm on my 4th one, mostly because it's so familiar to me and I have a hard time finding a similarly-priced unit that will do the same thing. BUT MAINLY BECAUSE I HAVE TO KEEP TAKING IT BACK UNDER WARRANTY!!!!!! Do NOT buy this unit without the extended warranty, it WILL give out on you.
Enjoying the Sony RCD-W500CSeptember 14, 2008 I purchased the Sony RCD-W500C at the suggestion of a friend at work. I have many older albums that I wanted to try and record on a CD format. I spent about a week reading over the manual and another day or so getting familar with the controls on the deck. I am very pleased with the sound of the albums recorded on a CD format. The sound quality seems much better to me than the sound of many albums I have as CD's. The sound quality seems very smooth and has much more range than a cassette tape. I have never had any problem getting a CD to finalize. I am using TDK Music CD-R's to record. If you take your time reading over the manual and to get familar with the controls, you should not have any problems. It is very enjoyable to get an older album on vinyl on to a CD format. I have had very good results using Sony products.
RemarkAugust 7, 2008 On the Sony RCD-W500C/W100 I bought one about a month ago and have been pleased with it. I am able to record from CD to CD even thou I have not figure out how to adjust the volume while recording from CD to CD, and from Tape to CD which I can control the volume when recording from Tape to CD. I agree with everybody else on the instruction book that it's really confusing. So before you start read it over and over. I eventually will figure out how to set the volume when recording from CD to CD but I hate to mess with what I am able to do now considering all the bad feedback on this recorder.
