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. What's in the Box
RCD-W500C CD player and recorder, Remote Commander remote control, two RCA audio cables, two AA batteries, and user's manual.

Remark August 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.
 Bought another one July 19, 2008
This player recorder is really good, I use it every week at our church to record our praise service. We now have two, one for each sanctuary. It took a little bit to get through the instruction book, but once I mastered it, it has all of the functions I need. When you are recording live the make next track function is very useful to create breaks for the next song. The only thing I do not like is when nothing is happening it stops recording or creates lots of tracks, I now control that through the pause button.
Great, once you get through the manual May 8, 2008

I previously owned a Sony CD recorder with which I was very happy, but it was damaged in a move from one state to another. I bought the RCDW500C because I figured it would be similar, which it is, except for having more drawers. There are a few other minor differences, but it essentially works the same. Unfortunately, I hadn't tried to make any CDs in a while so I'd forgotten some of the basics, and I have to agree with many of the people who have already mentioned that the manual is poorly and confusingly written. Also, I found the directions on how to connect a turntable or other outside element to the RCDW500C to be lacking and I had a little trouble doing that. Otherwise, it has performed well and I have made several fun compilation CDs so far. Once you get the basics down, this recorder is fairly easy to use.
Just incidentally, I initially inquired at both Best Buy and Target about CD recorders, and the 20something clerks had no idea what I was talking about. They insisted that what I wanted was a burner for my computer or something to hook up to my iPod. I'm not sure they knew what stereo components are, let alone a turntable.

Machine does what I wanted. Transfers old cassette tapes to CD's. One drawback seems to be with my DELL computer furnished hardware/software. The hardware/software will not recognize the CD's as a CD. My older computer, with NERO software, does recognize the CD as an audio CD and allows me to create another CD that is recognized by the new DELL computer. The CD's created on the machine will play on other players. The other drawback is that one has to purchase "music cd's" in order to record on the machine. 'R' CD's won't work. However, the 'R' CD's work fine with the NERO software.
