| How does Sony DVP-S9000ES compare to other Sony's? The CD that played in Albert's deck was one that I made.I used a Pioneer PDR-W839 stand alone CD burner and "Digital Audio" blanks. The Pioneer only accepts "Digital Audio" blanks, which are more expensive, but as an aside it makes great copies. | |
