Liteon 5005 questions - stereo CD recording?

[lcb]

I almost bought the 5001, but then decided I would wait for a dual format recorder so I could share DVDs with family/friends with less compatibility hassles. When the 5005 came out I was glad I had waited.

One additional feature I wanted was to be able to record stereo music to a CD-R/RW. I was happy to see that the 5005 seemed to be able to record to CD-R/RW, but from what I have read it is unclear as to whether it will record audio in stereo, or mono only.

From the discussions on various forums, I gather that if you set it up correctly, you can record video to DVD with stereo audio, but I need a definitive answer on the audio alone to CD question.

Help me out here - the Duckman episodes I am saving on my Tivo are starting to fillup the available space.

TIA

Is my question not clear?

Or is it that this recorder is so new that nobody has the answer yet?

I think mono is only from coax. The others are stereo.

I think mono is only from coax. The others are stereo.

That's my understanding also, tv tuner via coax is mono, inputs to red/white rca jacks is stereo.......

Just a guess but I would think that like a VCR if the signal is MTS stereo,the signal to the DVD recorder is stereo(MTS). Real question is does the DVD recoderers tuner support MTS stereo,all stereo VCR's do.
You could always read the manual.

Thanks guys - sounds promising.

Has anybody actually used the system though?
