A very brief overview of the CDR775 unit and how to make a CD from a Cassette deck as the source.
The databits channel is pleased to provide you with the best in new tech, vintage and oddity gadgets, media formats, repair projects, electronic experiments and restorations of thrift store finds. There are also many "how to" and instructional titles. The goal is to search through garage sales, antique malls and resale shops for gadgets you didn't know existed, electronic toys you had as a kid, stereo or turntables your parents used or a film projector your school used to teach you valuable lessons. Typically we produce one video a week with several trips to a thrift store per month. Sometimes, through research, an item is searched for on ebay and purchased for review. A list of some of the most popular items watched here on the channel are: record cutting on various materials, DLP television repairs, VCR's, Camcorders, turntables, record players, records, car reviews and dictation equipment.

If not _this_ exact model, I owned one of these circa 1999-2001. I can't remember the model number but the layout was similar to what's shown here in your video. The discs were expensive as I recall. I didn't use anything but Philips branded CDs for the first year or so. I made discs for a few friends and forgot to finalize these on occasion. I knew 'The Look' when someone was approaching me holding that jewel case out in front of them. When I got my first laptop, a 30GB Gateway, in late-2002 I gave the Philips CD burner to my younger brothers to tinker with and they used it for several years. I still have every disc I ever burned for my use and some of these are precious artifacts of another era. Thinking about it now I wish I had backed-up my cassette collection for some of the rarities that I listened to at the time, primarily the 'cassette singles' and a couple of Personics tapes I had made at the Franklin Mills Mall in 1990.

Haven’t heard of franklin mills mall in 20 years. I painted just about ever store in there and some of them twice. The stories I could tell… Better yet if a mall could tell stories this 1000% was and I’m sure still is the place.

I just got the 785 delivered today, from ebay. It felt cool carrying a new audio component to hook to my stereo system in I don't know many years.

In 1997 November i bought 1st time in my life my 1st cd recorder the Philips CDR-870 in less than a month the cd reading mechanism had broken down and of course i was under guarantee and replaced it for free ; Nice cd recorder easy to use and also nice machine as cd player with good sound quality

Hi, I just found your channal, and i love your videos. You touch on alot of the equipment that I really liked in the 80s. This machine here from phillips, I didnt know about. Very cool unit. Well you got another suber here. Keep up the good work. Nice.

I just got one last month! Yes! Save my cassettes!

@marty3888 2 года назад

Thank you for nthis. I believe my CD recorder also has that record type button on it. You explain it well, even though I have the instruction manuel I don't know why all CD recorders don't make it as easy as cassette decks. Push rec or rec. and play then start the cassette. I know some of them are about that easy but I also got mine from ebay. Now I'm a little less nervous about using it.

@Lordmerciless666 6 лет назад

How do you record a 2nd or 3rd, etc track??

@brightonmusic 4 года назад

How do you decide on the level of the source music? Minimal or Maximum? It seems to me that too high will distort on the CD side and minimal on the source side will bring over too much tape noise rather than music signal.

@franktheo2055 3 года назад

Dose this burner have an option to fade out the end of each song when editing music for each individual track ?

@Ralph: I can try to answer questions about your CDR. You can post them here or message me directly.

Hola sigues teniendo la grabadora, tengo una duda que cd rw de audio graba tengo unos de Maxell XL-II de 80 minutos y no me lo coje y es nuevo, saber que version tiene que ser Gracias

@bryanna72 4 года назад

I have this model. Perfect for recording from analog. It worked perfect for awhile but then started getting finicky even with the correct discs. It began to get OPC errors all the time. Powering on and off several tries tended to 'fix' it just to be able to use it. Sometimes the discs would have static on playback for some reason. (Several tries and it finally worked doing nothing any different?) So have extra CD-Rs laying around, because you wont be able to tell if the disc was successful without finalizing. The CD player side always stopped working when I used it (you can hear a high pitched whine from the drive and the disc would just stop playing either playing or dubbing a disc for no apparent reason) I assume it was related to the OCR errors. I dont know, its a shame. Nobody around where I live repairs these things. Again, it was great unit, when it worked. Just wish i had got more life out of it before it went crazy.

@BLACKYODELNO1 4 года назад

How often do you clean your laser lens? I had a Philips 765 CD Recorder and found that it operated consistently if I cleaned the lens after several hours of use. If you allow build up on the lens to linger for long periods, like most anything, it creates a coating that becomes harder to remove, and prevent the lens from recognizing and recording to the discs. Just like engine oil build up from leaking seals will contribute to your engine overheating.

I got a Philips CDR-785 deck, and it doesn't have the Record button. I just acquired this deck from a uswed portal website and I don't find the user's manual intuitive or helpfula at all. I need some help and probably you got similar videos on such a Deck?? Thanks and congrats!!

@vintagelife3504 6 лет назад

just bought the cd burner if i record how can i split the tracks and will any cdr work thats meant for music

@databits 6 лет назад

There is a button you press to end the track and start a new one. I don't have the unit anymore so I don't remember which one. It should work with any "Music" CD-R

@vintagelife3504 6 лет назад

thanks

@Sillyguy474 6 лет назад

abe durant i have the same cd burner n a couple other ones. The cds u are recording on have to say digital audio on them its on the middle right side of the disc in small letters. If it doesnt say that u cant record. Just dont pic any cdr disc it has to say digital audio

@vintagelife3504 6 лет назад

Hall Crystal thanks

@johnrogers6705 6 лет назад

I had two Philips CD recorders both that did keep making errors on the discs. The other problem you have to buy CD-R Music cd's not the standard CD-R's you use for the pc that cost twice as much.

@BLACKYODELNO1 5 лет назад

You must buy CD-Rs that have the words "Digital Audio" printed in the logo. If the discs don't have the words digital audio printed on them, they will not work.

@BavarianM 8 лет назад

@jenruwong3217 10 лет назад

do you still remember which cdr you used? i heard it only works with 650mb 74 min. does it work with the 700mb 80min?

@databits 10 лет назад

Jenru Wong I don't remember, and I sold the unit. I now have a TEAC which is also on my channel. 650/74 is probably right (and a safe choice).

@chadergeist 6 лет назад

I have this cd recorder, but it needs some repair work done to it. The one thing that is bad about this unit is cd copying. It always leaves a tiny portion of the beginning of the music on the first tracks missing.

@bryanna72 4 года назад

Its weird this unit works when it wants too.

@cabbykeddus2257 10 лет назад

So I recently got my cdr out of storage.. the led screen does not work. Could you explain how to record with the auto start... I just need to know how many times I push each button to get it started recording. I used to know how to use it without any led screen. I thought this video was going to help me.. and I watched the you push rec type 5 times to get it to start recording. I did this but didn't hear the machine start recording. .plez help.

@databits 10 лет назад

Sorry, Cabby, but I sold this recorder. Wish I could still help.

@cabbykeddus2257 10 лет назад

Walk me through recording by what buttons I push and how many times to push them. Then to finalize a CD without being able to see the led screen.

@coolelectronics1759 3 года назад

this thing is from the 80s? Just got one in a swap its cdr778. Any idea if I can use this thing for duplicating my demo CDs? I know it'd be easyer just to do the computer but I think it would be a fun idea to try it out to see if it works. It powers up and everything but it stinks of sigaret. As uxwbill says its probably the previously owned by chain-smoker

Do the CD-R's you bought say "music CD-R" on them? If not, that's what you need.

I have one of these units. I do like it but the disc are hard to come by. Since you are an audiophile I think you would really like what a Behringer T-1954 Tube Ultrafex does to audio. I have a home recording studio and I wouldn't go with out it.

I connected my Goodman's dab to a cdr recorder to record program. I inadvertently put the phono leads into the recorder's Outputs instead of the inputs & now the DAB wont work, it does light up but won't search stations. The cdr wasn't playing anything. The CDR works fine but not the Dab radio. Makes no sense. Help please!.

Most of the time a belt needs to be replaced in the mechanism. You can also try pushing on the drawer after you press Eject. My TEAC's left drawer is that way.

Yeah it will say use audio cd

@BLACKYODELNO1 4 года назад

@@bryanna72 If the audio CD does not have the words 'digital audio' in the Logo, then it will not work. Look closely and you will see that the Logo on the recording side of the CD Recorder will also say digital audio.

Use a computer to burn CD's you won't have to worry about compatability, you can use any brand of CD as opposed to using Music CD-R discs, to capture audio use a decent boombox or a tape walkman, use a rca phono cable which has a headphone jack and red, white cable and connect it to your walkman, use ADS tech USB Audio capture hardware for best results. Use audacity for capture, you can separate the tracks as well. No need for a CD Recorder...

@dlarge6502 5 лет назад

I have all that stuff but I have to say that plugging it all together and using it is a lot more work when compared to just pressing the single record button on the CD recorder, then ripping the disc on the PC. These days when people think about digitising a tape or a LP they are likely to pick up a turntable or walkman with a USB output saving them from having to use the ADS USB sound card with cables trailing everywhere. A CD recorder (if you already have one) adds only 1 more step (the ripping step) and still saves all the cables, plus it can play CD's like the USB turntable can play the LP's. Before I picked up a CD recorder (cheaply) I used to use the USB soundcard and audacity. However it made the living room floor a bit of a mess for as long as I had the stuff wired up. If you dont have a CD recorder or dont get one for a good price the USB soundcard will be a lot cheaper.
