Denon CDR-W1500 Dual-Drive CD Recorder (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

Hands down, the best cd recorder made! Copies are perfect. The audio quality is amazing!! Not hard to operate or understand. I love the look of this recorder, it looks very elegant. Worth every penny!!

Beautiful unit; has seen better days. Unable to get CD to play frequently. Wish I had the time to check out its recording capabilities.

I bought this equipment thinking I could record my LP's until I read on page 7 under notes: Do not make a connection to the PHONO jack of the amplifier. Doing so will lead to breakdown. All I needed was my turntable, amplifier and a cd recorder which were not too popular at that time. The Operating Instructions Manual is thorough and complete.

This CD recorder is very nicely engineered and has a robust CD burner.One major problem is the total lack of any meaningful technical support.The owners manual was apparently translated directly from Japanese. So, many parts of this are extremely difficult to understand. Worse, if you call or Email Denon tech support they are unable to answer even simple questions.My machine will record fine off an outside source (record, tape etc) but will not copy CDs of any type or any length. I keep getting the same error message "CDR-short".Denon customer service knows nothing about this product and the manual does not address this problem.I have never been able to copy a CD with this machine, although I have made hundreds of copies using other CD recorders.Prospective buyers are cautioned that you are on your own if you have problems with Denon equipment.

I wanted to be able to copy my old 33 records to a CD-R. This recorder is doing a good job of that but the instructions were not in the best format for me to understand without lots of trial and error. Also I wanted to be able to make Ballroom Dance music for continuous play for group dances. This machine does a good job after you understand all of the procedures.

I love this CD recorder. Everything with one exception is totally awesome. There is no shutoff on the remote. It is solid state and I do leave it on for days sometimes but I really would like a shutoff switch on the remote. As far as quality and ease of use...mine was a refurbished unit and I've never had a single glitch. The recording quality is superb and the sound level and metering is dead on with my two Sony MD decks and my other Pioneer CD recorder. The Pioneer has a few more features but the Denon is my go to machine. I use the pioneer mainly for playback now. There is a learning curve but I myself found the Denon to be very intuitive. It dupes wonderfully and if you have some copy protection you have to get by you can do a completely analog dupe in real time.

This was bought for my dad a few years back. He likes it very much and has used it on a regular basis. Great product!

Great product with terrible owners manual. Skip entire manual which is a confusing dead end and go to page 15. Place cd in left tray and and press normal speed record button 4 times to enter scan record dub mode. Hit round enter button to start 15 seconds play of each song on cd. Hit enter button again to select song you want to record. Press play button to record. To dub and entire cd hit normal speed record once and do the same. Mike in Roswell, Georgia
