Dutch consumer electronics firm Philips is about to upset record companies by
launching the first consumer CD player with a built-in CD recorder. The Philips
CDR765, which costs about $600, has two decks: one for playing a CD and
another for recording sound from any source onto a blank disc that can played on
any ordinary CD player. Both decks can spin at double speed, so copying a
60-minute disc would take only half an hour. Like all digital recorders, the
system uses the Serial Copy Management System to stop copied discs being copied
again—but any number of copies can be made from an original CD.
