Sony RCD-W500C 5-Disc CD Changer / Recorder

I first tried to pick up a used one of these and it did not work so I figured it was just a bad buy. Then I bought one new and had to return it for another new one. They all have the same problems. You will record a whole CD and then it will not finalize. It will register as a blank CD. After spending an hour recording something it turns out to be a waste of time. However this only happens maybe one in ten times, which keeps you trying and hopeful. But on that 10th time it is so frustrating you want to smash the thing. Pay an extra couple hundred and get a Denon. This is the worst piece of home electronics I have had. Remember, I have been through at least 3 of these!
