CDR775BK Dual Disc Player/Recorder

 

Remember when tape decks and then dual-tape decks made every music lover a potential pirate? These days, CDs are the preferred medium and making copies of them is vaguely legit if you call the copy a "backup." That settled; go snag Philips' CDR775BK CD recorder, a dual-disc CD deck bringing high-speed recording, hard-wired convenience and regular music loving loveliness to a new level of affordability. Both decks work equally well as players as well as internal and/or multi-source recorders, thanks to its abundant hook-up options. From external sources, CDR775BK take data from both digital audio signals (optical or coaxial) and well as classic analog feed, meaning to can burn to CD from devices such as a cassette deck or a turntable - though a turntable must first be routed through a phono preamplifier, such as the phono input on your amp/receiver. The player/burner bundle also has a DJ mode, which lets the two trays function independently; each "deck" offers a choice of analog or coaxial digital outputs to a mixing board, of you happen to have one (or directly to an amp, of course). Thus equipped, you can let fly with a continuous stream of songs blended end to begging into the wee rave-worthy hours, but less expensively that a real DJ set-up. And remember, don't pirate your music, just make back-ups in case you, um, "lose" your original.
