I have my 609 PIONEER PDR in recent months - the bte is sumptuous - finally a real CD burner, never to compatibility problems with the CD-R & CD-RW stamped "music for use" (that said plates is a little Chres quality, but that could hardly walk almost everywhere and worry-free). The PDR 609 is a CD-R, bte beautiful recording in coaxial, optical or analog constant speed. The volume of digital recording is adjustable, the quality was recorded in analog trs, trs correct. This is a platinum for uses me enough "high end" - there is no possibility of recording high-speed, which is normal: the PDR 609 seeks quality. The screen is readable trs, ergonomics at all - is enjoyable, the connection is complte for demanding uses. Beware, there is a protection against the r-recording digital sources ... The sync is perfect, and there is a fader out bonus, as well as the traditional CD Text feature
