    Very pleased with this CD player. My previous player was a carousel, and the tracking on this machine is so much better. Recommend highly.

    This CD Player sounds great until there is a weird static noise occasionally. Tried the very bizarre update that is supposed to take just a few minutes and it won't take. Update fails. Took unit up to Best Buy Geek Squad since I paid $75 for the extra Geek Squad protection. They said they don't know how to do updates on something like this and gave me a full replacement for a brand new unit. Had to pay another $75 for the Geek Squad protection on new unit and now waiting for a new unit. So, after 5 months I haven't been able to listen to even one full CD properly and paid $150 for Geek Squad protection that can't update it.

    Very nice CD player at a nice price. No frills, and easy to hook up and operate. I appreciate the excellent Yamaha build quality and clean sound with my old Harman Kardon receiver and JBL speakers.

    Purchased this CD player 4 months ago. Recently started noticing frequent pops and clicks on brand new CDs. Installed the latest firmware update from Yamaha but this offered little to no improvement. Extremely disappointed with this product!

    Defective--it skips

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Bought this and despite what online notices said about a skip problem being fixed at the "161 update" level as this device was, it still skipped. Immediately and repeatedly. I returned to B Buy and wonder if they will try to sell it again "open box" and still skipping. BAD. Beware.
