Philips CDR775BK

problematic, doesn't take many blank cd's, poor use for dj

The use of this machine is fairly easy and there are some cool things like being able to type in text for each cd & song, albeit tedious. I dj from vinyl and my first problem was the inability to make track/ hash marks while i was in a mix, or even the...

COOLING PROBLEMS - How to fix it?; plus, It's Nice When It Works

As many others have pointed out, this is a fantastic unit - WHEN it works. They can make a 'cheap' DVD recorder, so why can't they make a 'cheap' AND good CD Recorder? I'm still waiting. COOLING ISSUE: Anyhow, what I did to my unit work better was to...

Never a single problem

I don`t know why so many people are having problems with this unit. I purchased mine in 2000 as a factory refurbished unit, and have burned 10`s of mix cd`s on Sony, Maxell, Fugi, and other brands with no problems whatsoever. Use ONLY "music" or...

THIS PRODUCT IS JUNK!!!

I purchased this product about 3 years ago and nothing but problems, headaches and wasted money is all i recieved from it.I should have known from the beginning this was garbage cause it took 3 units before i got one that worked. When i first bought...

Nothing but problems

Philips just doesn't know what they're doing, plain and simple. I went through 3 different units and they all had the same problems! Read some of the other reviews for the list of problems; I've encountered most of them. I can't stress how bad their...

SAD JUST SAD

I was reading some of the reviews and i began to chuckle,at least i was not the only sorry one....I was very happy in the beginning and made a few great mix cd's for when i hit the road.( that is the reason i purchased it ! )I tried to use it recently...

I, too, thought I'd get more use out of it

I've had it for almost 2 years and now it just isn't working right 90% of the time. I'm ready to toss the S.O.B. but I am struggling to figure out a reasonable cost alternative for home-studio CD mastering and reproduction. Damn - thought it would last...

Don't buy this one

Worked great when I first got it; made great copies to keep in my truck and nice mixes for parties. Then it started to get unreliable; CD's would play in one player and NOT AT ALL in another or CD's would record but sound like really scratchy LP's...

I WASTED MY MONEY!

I purchased my unit from now-defunct Mercata, which was an online buying group. When my unit malfunctioned after maybe 3 CDs and the technical support people at Philips were unable to help me, they suggested I send it back, which I did. Mercata...

THIS IS GARBAGE

This unit is bound to freeze up on you. It is just a matter of time before it happens. I've had hellish nightmare experiences with mine. And don't think that since it comes with a warrenty you can easily get any problems corrected, "oh, no my...
