Best CD Player I've owned
| Author's Rating: |

Pros: Good on-screen display. Love the keyboard input.
Cons: Can be a little tricky to use. Remote lacks a little.
The Bottom Line:
Best CD player I've seen, except for the new CD/DVD changers.
The on-screen display is nice. You can easily find your CD's by artist name, setup categories for your tunes, etc. It has a "hit list" feature that will let you dynamically put in up to 30 of your favorite tracks and play them without having to manually switch disks / tracks. I found the unit a little difficult to use at first without reading the manual thoroughly. The remote doesn't impress me much (it's pretty basic), but I also just purchased a Sony receiver that has a nice LCD display remote, and it works perfectly, shows all of your CD's on the remote's LCD screen and let's you point and click your way to whatever tune you want. It would be nice if the on-screen display would allow for more than 13 characters. I found myself abrieviating a lot, especially for artists with long names or CD's from more than one artist. Tom Petty's Greatest Hits became T.Petty GH. The keyboard input is a MUST if you are going to enter a lot of CD titles. I can't imagine how long it would have taken if I had to enter all of them via the remote, since it took nearly 3 hours using a keyboard.
I compared a lot of different multi-CD players, and this one, in my opinion is by far the best available.
