What a disaster this has been. The first Sony was DOA. My sister picked up the second one, which was obviously a returned item that Best Buy had repackaged and sold for new (the recording deck, deck B, was dirty and would not work), the third introduced a crackling sound in everything it recorded (it was visible on the meters as well) and the fourth recorder has the exact same problem. When you turn up the volume control for an analog source, in my case I was copying old reel to reel tapes, a crackling sound is introduced and increases in volume as you turn the control higher. If the objective is to make a copy, the volume control has to be used, or you would not copy anything. The crackling sound is loud and can be heard even with the recorder on pause.
I can't believe that Sony even released these machines with such a serious problem. Did they think the public was deaf?
What I'm doing is simple enough; making CD copies of old tapes. The five CD deck A really serves no purpose other than adding five times the number of things that can go wrong. I've had it with Sony. Have any of you experienced the same problem? What recommendations do you have for a simple two deck CD recorder?
