Philips CDR 775 /17 Dual Deck Audio CD Recorder CD Recordable Rewriteable
First the good news: discs copied digitally on the CDR775 suffer no obvious degradation compared to the originals.
Tests using my own studio material (from both analogue and digital sources) showed that this fared equally well, especially if recorded using the digital input.
Equally important, the thumps in track‑at‑once recordings have completely disappeared, even at the higher writing speed.
Bravo Philips!
Philips dominate the domestic CD‑R world and, despite the successes of other manufacturers in the pro‑audio field, it claims 80 precent of the current world market for CD recorders.
It also commands about 50 percent of the European market for blank discs, doing so again by controlling the domestic market.
The recording section is fully compatible with CDR (recordable) and CDRW (rewritable) disks.
