If anyone has gotten this to work please tell me how. The changer quality is great but I can't seem to get it to use the supposedly built-in 3 custom programs per the manual - it seems to want a remote button called "disc set" which the unit doesn't have.
Oh, one more thing- I only use the analog output, and the unit sounds fantastic. It plays great; has lots of options; and has an easy to use sensible design. All the reviews I read, gave this CD changer a thumbs up-- and they were RIGHT. No, it ain't perfect, but it's an excellent value.
Be aware that you NEED an amplifier and speakers. It's only lack is a remote. This is not made specifically clear in the ads. This changes 25 CD's seamlessly. It is extremely easy to load and to switch one or two CD's.
This changer has a rack that seems less prone to mechanical malfunction.Unlike other reviewers, I didn't find the changer to be noisy or slow. I noticed that there is a European model that is just like this that has a changer and a file to put your CD liners in so you know what is where. I never could get them back to functioning properly.The important difference is that on the older Pioneer CD changers, a magazine that held six CD's was inserted into the changer.
The instruction manual states that CD's must have the "DISC" notation on them to be played. Each time I load it, I have to make up a spreadsheet and write which CD is in what position in order to know where things are. This is not the case.My only complaints, and the reason I gave four stars instead of five are: (1) no remote, (2) doesn't read CD titles (3) There is no labeling system.
This is my third Pioneer CD changer, so I obviously like Pioneer products even though each one that have bit the dust was because of a CD getting stuck in the changing mechanism that couldn't be removed without taking the thing apart. I have burned a lot of CD's over the years, and even ones that are 10 years old or more play just fine. I really wish I could have bought the European version.
It was these that malfunctioned that caused the CD's to get stuck, so I'm encouraged that Pioneer recognized the problem and fixed it. It has played all of the CD formats I have given it, including some that were intended to be data CD's.
Simple to use and easy to understand. I love the multi player, you can load it and go away, It plays for hours.
