(5 out of 5)Excellent value for money!
As a long time working DJ (27 years +) I still have a lot of hard to get tracks on vinyl. I purchased my recorder to be able to load some of these on to CD's to save having to carry vinyl & turntables around. The machine is very easy to use and the sound quality when played back at high volumes is very good. I agree that the CD trays are a little flimsy but just need to be treated with a little care. My only gripe of an otherwise excellent product is that when recording an album the machine does not recognise the end of tracks to increment the track number automatically. (It does do this when copying CD's from an external source)
(5 out of 5)Hassle free recording
The Philips CDR 775 is a great little performer and at an affordable price... There are five recording modes, adequate for just about everything and they are simplicity itself. All you need to do is to get 2 or 3 re-writable audio cd's, read the manual properly and practice. After that you'll never make a mistake using normal recordable audio cd's. Other reviewers have highlighted minor gripes such as the lack of a volume control for the 'phones socket. These are only minor gripes however and not enough, in my view, to reduce the rating from 5 stars to 4.
(4 out of 5)SLIMLINE AND NEAT
I chose the CDR775 recorder after compering it with other similar models of CD recorders, and to me the CDR775 had the edge over the others, giving you different recording options as well as other features. On the other hand it would of been nice to be able to input text whilst in playback mode, have a volume control for the headphones and be able to fade in/out facilities, apart from that I think it`s a gret little machine.

I have recently purchased one of these machines and have had no problems whatsoever. It is a good looking piece of kit with a nice display. It has all the functions the average person needs. OK the manual is not the best but spend a few hours playing and you'll be competent. May I suggest the previous poor reviews were due to the use of poor quality/inferior CDR/CDRW's and possibly being impatient with the instructions.

Like anyone , when you see "RECORD CDS" you think wow....Great 32 bit technology at my finger tips.....BUT WAIT.... On using this machine I found it to be most tempramental. Out of a pack of 10 cdr audio discs, I mannaged to get a descent recording on two!!!! THe main problem of this machine is the finalizeation of the discs (it's where it always fails!!) I RECOMEND, that you save those pennies and buy a more relyable machine. As is always said in the the world of electronics...YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!
