    Not as easy to use as the one it replaced. Wish it would start on disk it stopped on & not always start on disk 1. Otherwise it plays great!

    We thought we were going to have to replace our whole unit. Then we found this component at Best Buy. So happy about this.

    Very good player. I bought a store-returned player and have had no problems. It's great to hear my favorite CD's, too many weird tunes on the radio these days.

    Replacing older model purchased many years ago. Now, some choices are only on the remote, such as "scramble".

    Multi disc CD players are hard to find. Not all folks download all of their music and like to listen to CDs.

    It makes good music and has some good features. Turntable is a bit noisy compared to my previous model. Most disappointing was the " shuffle" feature. I like variety and my previous unit would rotate to a different CD after each song. This unit provides a "shuffle all discs" feature which would provide the variety if it truly "shuffled". It often plays two and sometimes three or four without changing CDs. This makes for an irritant because I know at the end of the session, another CD will be on the repeat mode as the stack finishes.

      Hello Judymay! We would like to recommend to try the following steps to activate the shuffle mode option: 1 - Select CD or USB ~ 2 - To shuffle only the tracks in one disc or USB folder press SHUFFLE once and a icon displaying 1 DISC SHUFFLE or SHUFFLE with a little folder icon (for USB only) will be shown on the left side of the display. 3 - To shuffle all discs or all tracks on a USB drive available press SHUFFLE again and a icon displaying ALL DISCS SHUFFLE or SHUFFLE (for USB) will be shown on the left side of the display.~ Jeannette Sonystyle

    Overall, this is a good product. The only problem that I found with the device is with the audio hookup options. There is no HDMI connection. Instead only a RCA jack.
