If listening to music is important to you, the CDR-HD1500 is going to make your life a lot more enjoyable. You can rip about 300 hours onto the hard disk, then group the songs together in as many as 999 ways for playback and recording. High speed operation and versatile functions make creating your own personal CD collection easy and fun.

The CDR-HD1500 HDD CD Recorder offers large music storage capacity with fast access by incorporating an 200GB hard disk drive. In addition to bringing the benefits of an HDD to a home-use audio component, it also provides extensive editing functions to make the creation of CD-R and CD-RW discs more appealing to a wide range of people.

The main benefits of the CDR-HD1500 are full digital audio quality in all stages (no compression is used), convenient and flexible editing, extended playback time and fast music access. Outstanding features include Audio Master Quality Recording, Bookmark and Album features for convenient editing, 300-CD music capacity, fast ripping (10x) and recording (8x, 4x), Jog Dial for super-fast music access, and extensive input/output terminals.

The CDR-HD1500 uses a Linear PCM recording system, which means the music signal is recorded without being compressed, so no quality is lost. In addition, recording from CD to hard disk and back to CD maintains full digital quality throughout the process.

The hard disk drive makes it possible to edit the stored music before creating a new CD, unlike ordinary CD recorders which don't let you edit once the music is recorded. The CDR-HD1500 takes full advantage of this ability, offering a large choice of editing features.
