20 Most Recent Koss CDR200 2-Disc CD Recorder Questions & Answers

i found the only cd-r that works is 40x which seems hard to find at local stores..there are 16x. 20x, 48x, 52x etc.....

There are several types of blank discs (CD-R, CD-RW). This unit only handles the CD-R discs. Unfortunately, this particular unit is even fussy about the CD-R discs it does accept. Even more unfortunately, there is no way to determine which will be accepted and which will not work. At this point, I can only advise you to try CD-R discs from a different manufacturer. Read the first review on amazon.com. Same issue I have had. Sorry and good luck.

Hi,
No problem,You need to connect "CD" to" Receiver" in a regular way just to play ..
(output of CD-TO- input of Receiver) ..use either "RCA analog (red/white ) " or "optic " cable.(any standard optical cable )...optic is the best way to connect it..Remember your CD's "OUT" goes into" IN "
pls also remember,wherever you connect your CD on your Receiver,you should switch the source selector accordingly to correspond to the connection on the back...
Hope this helps!..if more help requires pls let me know.
Take care and please Remember to rate/vote and give me 4 Thumbs Up for me to continue for Helping out the Community :)

Yes, but you, like I could use an owners manual for this thing, as it isn't as easy to operate as the Philips Audio CD recorders. Owner's manual anyone?
You can just press input select for analog, press record, wait then press 'play' to start recording.

should be able to go directly from tape out of cass deck to input of your koss, as long it has line level inputs (which it should). from there its play on the tape and record on the cd rcrdr. seems the simplest solution

Laser could be dirty or could have burned out

ask manualfox.com

I had an issue similar to this - I found if I didn't try to record from the internal player it worked ok. Does it say 'recover' when you try to record anytime? If you open the unit,you might see some capacitors on the power supply on the left hand side have leakedand the power is cutting in and out. 'Recover' usually comes up when a recording is interupted if you switch the unit off during recording.

You must use a digital audio cd only!

can I record from an outside source, like a casset player to cd, on the cdr200, if so, how, thankyou
