About the CDR770
The Philips CDR770, released in 2000, is a dual-tray audio CD recorder designed for recording music CDs from various sources including another CD player, analog inputs, or digital connections. It supports CD-R and CD-RW discs marked for consumer/music use only, with features like manual and auto recording modes (record disc, track, make CD), adjustable analog recording levels, CD text support, finalize, erase functions, and playback capabilities. It includes coaxial and optical digital I/O, analog stereo in/out, and comes with a remote control. Users note good sound quality for playback and recording but mention limitations like no headphone volume control, quiet headphone output, minimum 4-second track length, up to 99 tracks per disc, and occasional reliability issues like freezing in older units. It doubles as a CD player with decent bass but lacks authority in complex music.
