There are some mp3 downloads (from amazon) that it will not play) I asked amazon agents to at least advise their customers of this, but no luck. I like the display ( Artist, Album, Song title, Folder Title) It plays the cd's that it will play fine, however I found the following limitations: 1. 3. It will not play cd's burned with a lightscribe burner all the way through. 2. it doesn't seem to recognize sub-folders. If you knew these limitations it would not be so frustrating.
You need to buy a good pair of audio wires to get clear fidelity out of the unit, even if you have a high-end receiver. This is a nice CD changer, which unfortunately may become extinct thanks to the advent of MP3 players and the like. (The ones that come with the unit won't give you the full range of sound). I like the green light accent in the front; pretty cool. This unit is fairly light, compared to other makes -- not sure if that's a good thing. Great price. Great customer service from the third-party seller.
Our complaint is that it started having serious problems about 6 months after we got it. It will suddenly stop playing, or, will pause for 2 or 3 seconds then continue. We like the 'random' feature, but that has completely stopped working.
There seem like many reasons to like this CD player, which can play.mp3 data discs as well as conventional CDs. Additionally, both the user interface and the appearance are quite nice. My major complaint is that the unit I was shipped often exhibits playback punctuated with short periods of silence or refuses to play discs at all. This behavior seems independent of whether the disc is.mp3 or conventional.
This CD player was bought to replace a 5 disc Sony player I had been using. I would recommend it for anyone. The Sony became less and less reliable in playing all selections when the player was in the random mode. This Onkyo player works great and is completely reliable in the random play mode. Although nothing is said in the advertising about this unit coming with a remote, it does, and the remote has features not found on the old Sony remote. It's a great piece of equipment at at very fair price.
