Complete piece of junk. Playback is erratic. Never recorded even ONCE - it just sits and clicks incessantly after you're done "recording" as it tries to write to the disc. Someone suggested upgrading the firmware - I followed instructions and it can't read the CD-ROM with the firmware either. Tried calling tech support and was put on hold - after 45 minutes of listening to Vivaldi I gave up. Avoid products from this company at all costs - I'm finally reconciled to kissing my $100 something bucks goodbye...
