I purchased this audio CD recorder as a replacement for my Pioneer which stopped working. This machine makes very good copies and is easy to use once you have read the instructions. It is a very good playback machine as well, unlike the pioneer which made good copies, but playback was not very good. The only thing I don't like is the remote control on which the buttons sometimes stick down when selected thus stopping the remote from working until the offending button has been released. Apart from the remote control, I still think this CD Recorder warrants 5 stars and also a pat on the back for Teac for putting this machine on the market when a lot of other manufacturers are no longer producing them.
