Walmart has the Sanyo DRW-500 DVD recorder on sale. Noone at Walmart
can answer my questions and Sanyo's 800 number wasn't much better.
Could this unit be used to record CDs? If it can record the audio
portion of a movie, why couldn't it be used to just record music? Or
would the resulting disc only be playable on this unit as a DVD and not
on a CD player? If played back as a DVD would the quality be equal to a
CD?

CD and DVD are totally two different format.

The DVD recorder can only record DVD, of course you can make it record to
music only without feeding video signal to it. But that disc is a DVD disc,
so it cannot be played on a normal CD player (compare to a universal
player).

I don't think the quality of that recorded DVD would sound the same as the
original CD because of the signal lost due to connection, the hook-up
cable, and tons of things inside the DVD recorder.

Hope that help.
