I bought the TEAC CD RW880 last week. I've got it hooked up to a Kenwood KR A4040 Receiver which lacks the four extra audio jacks needed to plug the CD recorder into. I had to (temoprarily) unplug the Yamaha Dual Cassette deck so I could connect the CD recorder. I'll have to by some Y-Splitter cables so I can reconnect the cassette deck later this week.
I have some cassettes I recorded off many of the Chicago radio stations and want to transfer some to CD. The drive belt on my Pioneer PL600 Turntable died three days before I received the CD reacorder. I'm waiting to get the belts from Pioneer so I can start recording my LP's.
I recorded 2 CD's of songs off the radio. I also copied some pre-recorded CD's for use in the car. Of the 47 songs I recorded from the CD's, the CD Recorder only missed automatically inserting one track break. And I didn't even set the press the auto button.
I'm using TDK Music CD-R disc to record on. They sound and play fine in the Teac CD RW880, the Pionner PD-F506, mother's Bose Wave and my Buick. I got them from Amazon too. The unit was shipped rather fast. The corner of the box had a slight crush mark on it an there was a hole torn in the top of the box large enough to insert four fingers. There was no damage to the unit though.
It was easy to hook up. The directions were pretty straight forward. At the present I'm not using the remote control, I prefer to use the buttons on the recorder. My only complaint is the unit is black. I wish they would go back to the silver faced panels like we had in the 70's. They were much easier to read.
I wanted a simple unit. I didn't want the multi-disc player/CD recorder that Sony had to offer.
