Amazon.com Product Description Looking stylish with its burnished-aluminum front panel, the Denon CDR-W1500 CD recorder and player offers dual drives capable of simultaneous playback--for, say, taping one CD to cassette for the car while you listen to another--and features audio CD-R and CD-RW compatibility in both drives. The component records only to recordable CDs designated as being for "audio" or "music"; standard computer/data CD-R/CD-RW media will not work here.
The Denon CDR-W1500 features dual CD drives for simultaneous playback and recording. View larger.

Recording is possible not only between CDs but from externally connected analog sources too. Denon stands by the components sound quality, and it even offers processing for HDCD (High-Definition Compatible Digital), an encode/decode process that ekes slightly better sound out of standard CDs (check the backs for your discs for the HDCD logo). The recorder will also copy HDCD-encoded CDs at full resolution.
Denon has endowed the CDR-W1500 with separate outputs, labeled "CDP" for the playback drive and "CDR" for the record drive. By routing these outputs to separate amplifiers (with a choice of analog or digital transmission for each drive), you can listen to each independently to hear different source material in different rooms. The CDR-W1500 offers the convenient "scan rec dubbing" function, which lets you scan for the tracks you want before you record them.
There are 2 record modes: digital and analog. Digital recording lets you make perfect copies of discs or parts of discs. The simplest method is internal dubbing, from drive 1 to drive 2, at either 1x (normal) or 2x speed. Alternately, you can feed your CDR-W1500 from an external device--a minidisc player/recorder, a DVD player, or another CD player, for instance--through an optical or coaxial digital-audio input. You can copy a whole disc or merely one track.
With analog recording, simply feed the recorder an audio output (stereo RCA) from a cassette deck, VCR, PC, or DVD player, and start recording. You can set track IDs manually or the recorder will insert them every time you pause or every time it sees "black" (no signal) from the input.
Onboard Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) prevents you from making a digital copy of a disc that is already a digital copy, but you may still make an "analog" copy of such a disc by recording it via the analog audio inputs (the track IDs may not be quite as accurate this way, but at least you can record it). Stellar features include internal relay play (drive 1 to drive 2), random play between drives, track programming, and sample-rate conversion for use with sources such as DAT (digital audio tape) and DSS (digital satellite system) having sample rates ranging from 32 to 48 kHz. The recorder's display offers compatibility with English-language CD Text information, and you can also add text to the discs you create.

ComplicatedAugust 18, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This CD recorder has far too complicated a set-up to be user-friendly. The instruction manual is utterly useless, leaving it to the buyer to figure out how the machine works. Even when the unit is finally hooked properly, transferring records to cd isn't easy and tracks need to be separated manually. Machine can only operate with music cds. Headphones are needed to check the CD recorder's sound, since it does not play through speakers. Digital display is also confusing. Maddening, frustrating, and very expensive. The only plus: recorded sound quality is good.
Not for Turntable RecordingJune 28, 2008 1 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought this equipment thinking I could record my LP's until I read on page 7 under notes: Do not make a connection to the PHONO jack of the amplifier. Doing so will lead to breakdown. All I needed was my turntable, amplifier and a cd recorder which were not too popular at that time. The Operating Instructions Manual is thorough and complete.
Great productApril 18, 2008 Has worked perfectly. Easy to use, easy-to-understand user manual. Very good sound quality, and plays and copies HDCD too. Plus, it has a volume-controlled headphone jack output. Absolutely worth the price.
Great Recorder Zero Technical SupportFebruary 26, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This CD recorder is very nicely engineered and has a robust CD burner.
One major problem is the total lack of any meaningful technical support.
The owners manual was apparently translated directly from Japanese. So, many parts of this are extremely difficult to understand. Worse, if you call or Email Denon tech support they are unable to answer even simple questions.
My machine will record fine off an outside source (record, tape etc) but will not copy CDs of any type or any length. I keep getting the same error message "CDR-short".
Denon customer service knows nothing about this product and the manual does not address this problem.
I have never been able to copy a CD with this machine, although I have made hundreds of copies using other CD recorders.
Prospective buyers are cautioned that you are on your own if you have problems with Denon equipment.
Denon Dual Drive CD RecorderMay 15, 2007 9 out of 9 found this review helpful
I wanted to be able to copy my old 33 records to a CD-R. This recorder is doing a good job of that but the instructions were not in the best format for me to understand without lots of trial and error. Also I wanted to be able to make Ballroom Dance music for continuous play for group dances. This machine does a good job after you understand all of the procedures.
