The Teac CDRW890 CD Recorder is a CD player and recorder that allows you to record onto CD-R or CD-RW discs from master discs. This recorder is user-friendly and includes digital and analog inputs on the rear panel, so you can connect units like a CD player or cassette deck to the recorder.

Manual adjustment of the recording level is available for your recording and either manually or automatically separate the source audio material into individual tracks. If choosing the manual track sequence, you can pick the sequence of music you want to record.

This quality CD recorder also functions as a programmable CD player, letting you play back music titles and tracks in shuffle mode or by pre-programming a sequence of your choice. The repeat option can be used either for playing back the entire disc or just one section of the disc in a loop.

The headphone jack on the front panel and IR remote lets you easily operate the unit for both recording and playback.

      I have nearly thirty years of radio work on a half hour program. I consider myself an amateur after all these years. I conceive the material, outline the process, record on a Zoom R24, mix to Cd and send to the station. I also fill requests for a few listeners to duplicate the program at times.

      I know this field grows too fast for me. So I found a way to work with a great small station owner. Or he found a way to work with me.

      Keeping up with constant modernization (Don't tell anyone, I started live and moved to cassette, back to live sometimes and now CD) it took about 5 minutes to learn differences of operation from my old machine and I was happy to learn the precise start/stop points on the new. That means much to me including fewer mistakes or unwanted sound going into the air.. Then I found, with the multi-track and Cd recorders they had more features that I develop as I go so that I keep getting better without always spending more to get there. Thirty years ago the space to house this studio would have cost more than 500 times my income! The equipment would have been much more if it were available. Today, on low wages with connections and all I need, I get stuff that 99% of hearers can't distinguish from top dollar studios.

      Eat your heart out. Or get your own.

      This is the highest quality I have ever attained.

      With a Zoom 24R, minimum musical ability, a little songwriting and speaking I have found a place to spread the Gospel even though there are periods I can't leave the house from my physical trouble.
      If I can find a way to do this anyone can take a limited amount of funds and use such devices as creatively as he can think.

      Tools like the CDR890 eliminate the excuse, "I could have done it but no one would give me a chance."

      One caveat; If you are as raw a recruit as I was, ask a friend or commercial studio working with sound to let you observe their work for a few hours. Keep out of the way, keep quiet, listen and watch everything they do. You will find the best engineers are proud of their work and like to demonstrate it. They also hate interruptions and despise people that know it all but have no skill.

      You will learn a lot by your ear and eye if you discipline your mouth and time and the manuals will make more sense.

      I am using this product in a church choir reheasal room. It is wired to 1 ceiling mounted external speaker. I purshased it for the ability to use the remote control, saving me from walking back and forth, its superior quality to a cheap ($10) CD/AM/FM/Cassette player, and a quicker start.
      The sound quality greatly improved (much more sound), and the remote helps, but its range doesn't quite allow me to use it from the other side of the room (at the director's stand). Also, it is somewhat slow to load a CD when first put in, which slows down rehearsal whenever I have to change discs.
      Overall, much happier than I was before I got it, since I only have to take three steps to pause/ rewind/ skip instead of the ten before, and the music can actually be heard when everyone is singing.

            this was purchased as a stop gap recorder as tapes for recording church services are getting very difficult to find. I was concerned at first that all the deacons would understand what to do to properly operate the recorder to record a church service. I wrote a simple one page direction sheet showing the exact buttons to push and when. They got it! Works teriffic, no problems at all!

                I use this unit to record my Church Sunday services via our main sound system. The only reason I am giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is that I haven't had it long enough to determine its reliability. I purchased this unit to temporarily replace a broken TASCAM unit that has been sent in for repair. After only four weeks of use, it is serving us well.

                  Believe I may have just got a bad unit...they are sending me a new one, so I will give it a try... The unit would just stop recording in the middle of recording.The tech at TEAC said it was my maxell cd's, so I purchased other cd-r's he recommended and it was a waste of my money.....I sure hope the new one works as I need to record my old vinyl records. I have recorded 300 of my vinly records on a dbl disc sony recorder until it broke. It was a really nice setup.

So recording from ditigital recorder on to the CD is imparative so we can listen to what we sound like. it's so important... love the slid out door, so we can place the cd in a cradlesound is good, the price is right. no real problem but, what we don't like... is having to put the Remote right up next to it to make it work. wish this was better

                            as a user of cd recorders,where i will use them so much that i actually will wear them out and then have to pay more than there worth....just buy another.this player/recorder is simple to use and any material recorded sounds great.one thing,as a person use to an input level knob,the toggle type level control is something that will throw you off.to fade in any music,you will have to rapidly tap the toggle/rocker type control.other than that,no problems.i would buy another in the future thou.

                                    It works and records to CD from some rare vinyl that are not easily available on CD. However I have to separate the tracks manually, I cannot make the automatic track system work. I found it difficult to set up. I find it easier to use this than to unload a vinyl directly to my computer and than download from the computer to a CD.

                                            Comments about Teac CDRW890 CD Recorder:

                                            I have nearly thirty years of radio work on a half hour program. I consider myself an amateur after all these years. I conceive the material, outline the process, record on a Zoom R24, mix to Cd and send to the station. I also fill requests for a few listeners to duplicate the program at times.

                                            I know this field grows too fast for me. So I found a way to work with a great small station owner. Or he found a way to work with me.

                                            Keeping up with constant modernization (Don't tell anyone, I started live and moved to cassette, back to live sometimes and now CD) it took about 5 minutes to learn differences of operation from my old machine and I was happy to learn the precise start/stop points on the new. That means much to me including fewer mistakes or unwanted sound going into the air.. Then I found, with the multi-track and Cd recorders they had more features that I develop as I go so that I keep getting better without always spending more to get there. Thirty years ago the space to house this studio would have cost more than 500 times my income! The equipment would have been much more if it were available. Today, on low wages with connections and all I need, I get stuff that 99% of hearers can't distinguish from top dollar studios.

                                            Eat your heart out. Or get your own.

                                            This is the highest quality I have ever attained.

                                            With a Zoom 24R, minimum musical ability, a little songwriting and speaking I have found a place to spread the Gospel even though there are periods I can't leave the house from my physical trouble.
                                            If I can find a way to do this anyone can take a limited amount of funds and use such devices as creatively as he can think.

                                            Tools like the CDR890 eliminate the excuse, "I could have done it but no one would give me a chance."

                                            One caveat; If you are as raw a recruit as I was, ask a friend or commercial studio working with sound to let you observe their work for a few hours. Keep out of the way, keep quiet, listen and watch everything they do. You will find the best engineers are proud of their work and like to demonstrate it. They also hate interruptions and despise people that know it all but have no skill.

                                            You will learn a lot by your ear and eye if you discipline your mouth and time and the manuals will make more sense.

                                                    I have nearly thirty years of radio work on a half hour program. I consider myself an amateur after all these years. I conceive the material, outline the process, record on a Zoom R24, mix to Cd and send to the station. I also fill requests for a few listeners to duplicate the program at times.

                                                    I know this field grows too fast for me. So I found a way to work with a great small station owner. Or he found a way to work with me.

                                                    Keeping up with constant modernization (Don't tell anyone, I started live and moved to cassette, back to live sometimes and now CD) it took about 5 minutes to learn differences of operation from my old machine and I was happy to learn the precise start/stop points on the new. That means much to me including fewer mistakes or unwanted sound going into the air.. Then I found, with the multi-track and Cd recorders they had more features that I develop as I go so that I keep getting better without always spending more to get there. Thirty years ago the space to house this studio would have cost more than 500 times my income! The equipment would have been much more if it were available. Today, on low wages with connections and all I need, I get stuff that 99% of hearers can't distinguish from top dollar studios.

                                                    Eat your heart out. Or get your own.

                                                    This is the highest quality I have ever attained.

                                                    With a Zoom 24R, minimum musical ability, a little songwriting and speaking I have found a place to spread the Gospel even though there are periods I can't leave the house from my physical trouble.
                                                    If I can find a way to do this anyone can take a limited amount of funds and use such devices as creatively as he can think.

                                                    Tools like the CDR890 eliminate the excuse, "I could have done it but no one would give me a chance."

                                                    One caveat; If you are as raw a recruit as I was, ask a friend or commercial studio working with sound to let you observe their work for a few hours. Keep out of the way, keep quiet, listen and watch everything they do. You will find the best engineers are proud of their work and like to demonstrate it. They also hate interruptions and despise people that know it all but have no skill.

                                                    You will learn a lot by your ear and eye if you discipline your mouth and time and the manuals will make more sense.

                                                    I am using this product in a church choir reheasal room. It is wired to 1 ceiling mounted external speaker. I purshased it for the ability to use the remote control, saving me from walking back and forth, its superior quality to a cheap ($10) CD/AM/FM/Cassette player, and a quicker start.
                                                    The sound quality greatly improved (much more sound), and the remote helps, but its range doesn't quite allow me to use it from the other side of the room (at the director's stand). Also, it is somewhat slow to load a CD when first put in, which slows down rehearsal whenever I have to change discs.
                                                    Overall, much happier than I was before I got it, since I only have to take three steps to pause/ rewind/ skip instead of the ten before, and the music can actually be heard when everyone is singing.

                                                    We installed this unit in a church to record services. It will have many users. So ease of use was important. It is very intuitive. Easy to record, easy to finalize. The machine has been robust and reliable so far.

                                                      We use the product to record sermons at our church. I really like the ability to manually put my own tracks in where ever I want them putted. It also finalizes in under 2 minutes ready to go.

                                                        THE FIRST RECORDER WAS RETURNED BECAUSE IT WOULD STOP RECORDING WHENEVER, WHEN RECORDING FROM CD OR FROM ALBUM TO CD....THE RECPLACEMENT RECORDER STOPS RECORDING WHENEVER ALSO.....GOING TO BE RETURNING THIS RECORDER ALSO....NOT MADE WELL.

                                                          this was purchased as a stop gap recorder as tapes for recording church services are getting very difficult to find. I was concerned at first that all the deacons would understand what to do to properly operate the recorder to record a church service. I wrote a simple one page direction sheet showing the exact buttons to push and when. They got it! Works teriffic, no problems at all!

                                                              I use this unit to record my Church Sunday services via our main sound system. The only reason I am giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is that I haven't had it long enough to determine its reliability. I purchased this unit to temporarily replace a broken TASCAM unit that has been sent in for repair. After only four weeks of use, it is serving us well.

                                                                Believe I may have just got a bad unit...they are sending me a new one, so I will give it a try... The unit would just stop recording in the middle of recording.The tech at TEAC said it was my maxell cd's, so I purchased other cd-r's he recommended and it was a waste of my money.....I sure hope the new one works as I need to record my old vinyl records. I have recorded 300 of my vinly records on a dbl disc sony recorder until it broke. It was a really nice setup.

So recording from ditigital recorder on to the CD is imparative so we can listen to what we sound like. it's so important... love the slid out door, so we can place the cd in a cradlesound is good, the price is right. no real problem but, what we don't like... is having to put the Remote right up next to it to make it work. wish this was better

However I have to separate the tracks manually, I cannot make the automatic track system work. I found it difficult to set up. I find it easier to use this than to unload a vinyl directly to my computer and than download from the computer to a CD.

                                                                                          I have nearly thirty years of radio work on a half hour program. I consider myself an amateur after all these years. I conceive the material, outline the process, record on a Zoom R24, mix to Cd and send to the station. I also fill requests for a few listeners to duplicate the program at times.

                                                                                          I know this field grows too fast for me. So I found a way to work with a great small station owner. Or he found a way to work with me.

                                                                                          Keeping up with constant modernization (Don't tell anyone, I started live and moved to cassette, back to live sometimes and now CD) it took about 5 minutes to learn differences of operation from my old machine and I was happy to learn the precise start/stop points on the new. That means much to me including fewer mistakes or unwanted sound going into the air.. Then I found, with the multi-track and Cd recorders they had more features that I develop as I go so that I keep getting better without always spending more to get there. Thirty years ago the space to house this studio would have cost more than 500 times my income! The equipment would have been much more if it were available. Today, on low wages with connections and all I need, I get stuff that 99% of hearers can't distinguish from top dollar studios.

                                                                                          Eat your heart out. Or get your own.

                                                                                          This is the highest quality I have ever attained.

                                                                                          With a Zoom 24R, minimum musical ability, a little songwriting and speaking I have found a place to spread the Gospel even though there are periods I can't leave the house from my physical trouble.
                                                                                          If I can find a way to do this anyone can take a limited amount of funds and use such devices as creatively as he can think.

                                                                                          Tools like the CDR890 eliminate the excuse, "I could have done it but no one would give me a chance."

                                                                                          One caveat; If you are as raw a recruit as I was, ask a friend or commercial studio working with sound to let you observe their work for a few hours. Keep out of the way, keep quiet, listen and watch everything they do. You will find the best engineers are proud of their work and like to demonstrate it. They also hate interruptions and despise people that know it all but have no skill.

                                                                                          You will learn a lot by your ear and eye if you discipline your mouth and time and the manuals will make more sense.
