Falls off
Unfortunately this border didn't stick to our walls. It immediately fell off no matter what we did. Too bad because it matched the rest of the room perfectly. Maybe it's because our walls have glossy paint?
Horrible border! (Blue Camo)
This was the worst border I've ever used. Two adults trying and we still could not get it to stick. The prepasted back never even got tacky. My little boy was crying- it was just awful! Save your money!
"piece of garbage" dosen't quite do it justice.
Even garbage has some use, but this thing...Sony should recall this stinker immediately. It's currently the only stand-alone burner sold in places like Best Buy or Circuit City. It overheats (or something) after about 40 mins...this is power time, not 40 minutes of burning time. At this point it starts introducing static-hellicopter sounds over the music...utterly useless. It is marketed as a cd archiving device for transferring lp, cass, VHS, DAT...whatever. Nobody would buy this thing to just play discs, as it only reads cd and cdr and is 300 bucks retail. On it's main selling point of burning, it fails miserably. I'll get my money back, but not my time wasted on this thing. Buyer avoid!
Familiar but I'm on my 4th one
I'm on my 4th one, mostly because it's so familiar to me and I have a hard time finding a similarly-priced unit that will do the same thing. BUT MAINLY BECAUSE I HAVE TO KEEP TAKING IT BACK UNDER WARRANTY!!!!!! Do NOT buy this unit without the extended warranty, it WILL give out on you.
Lasted about 4 months
I bought this for use in a church to record sermons, etc. So we didn't exactly super-stress the unit. After about 4 months (note > 90 days) it would just stop recording after about 30-35 minutes. Sometimes we could finalize what we had, sometimes not. I didn't want to believe the negative reviews I saw before purchasing - I should have. If you do get one, get an extended warranty. I got one for 2 years and they're refunding my purchase price. Sony decided it's too costly to repair.
Terrible product.
I had a Pioneer real-time burner that I used for about 7 years prior to buying this piece of junk. The Pioneer unit worked fine until it finally gave out. The Sony deck was initially OK, once I worked my way through an extremely confusing operator's manual. I succeeded in making several good-quality "needle drop" CD's from older lp sources. However, after about 90 days, everything went wrong. I could still make whole CD's and finalize easily, but 4 out of every 5 cd's I made skip when played back in any other player, be that the car, my computer, or at the office. In short, all the time and money spent have been for naught. I won't buy any Sony components again.
