Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Pioneer’s PD-F1009 CD-File Changer offers customers a uniquely effective way of storing their large CD collections. The product’s design offers many features that enhance CD organization and playback. This CD player gives users something close to a jukebox experience, with a 301 disc capacity. There is no better way to store and organize your old CD collection than with the PD-F1009.
Features
Best Play
 PD-F1009 |
With this feature, the customer can store up to 20 tracks from any of the discs in the PD-F1009’s memory, forming a playlist of their favorite songs. With one touch of the remote, the track that is currently playing will be automatically stored and ready for listening. This feature also plays tracks back to the customer in reverse order, allowing them to start from the beginning of their list.
Previous Scan
This product feature allows the user to hear the first 10 seconds of the last 20 discs played, helping the user find music that was recently listened to. This element of the product, which is unique in the megastorage field, is essential to effectively navigating through the disc collection and finding exactly what is needed. It is a features like this that set Pioneer apart in the field of large scale CD storage.
Custom File
The technology embedded in the PD-F1009 allows users to create up to five custom groups that can hold as many CDs as needed. This feature allows listeners to group their CDs by genre or artist, making it easier to navigate through hundreds of discs at a time.
Unmatched Compatibility
One thing that really sets the PD-F1009 apart from other CD players, including those outside of the megastorage field, is its ability to read both CD-Rs and CD-RWs. Most disc players are only compatible with CD-Rs.

Audio Output
Sound is mainly distributed through an analog output that is easily hooked up to most speaker systems. For more serious music listeners, there is a digital output available, which gives better sound quality. The options and attention to detail that Pioneer has included in this product set it apart from others like it in the market, giving the PD-F1009 the best value for its price.
Product Description
If you've assembled a big CD collection over the years, load your favorites- let's say, 301 of them- into the PD-F1009. It displays disc titles from text-encoded discs and has an optical digital output for connection to a CD recorder. This machine offers random play and Best Selection Memory functions, and also plays your CD-R's and CD-RW's as well.

This review is from: Pioneer PD-F1009 301-Disc CD-File Changer (Electronics)
I've looked at a lot of changers and none of them have as many well-implemented features for such a great price. The main feature I like which puts this above Sony is the ability to search and store data on CDs not only by Title, but also by Artist. Although it is a huge pain to go through and create all the artist/title information - it's easier to find the CD you want in the end. I create CD Text duplicates of all my CDs and load them into this changer (the originals stay in their cases so they can be taken on trips, etc.). I then have the ability to see every song, artist, and album title. CDText is a Godsend! The only thing bad about this product is the un-ergonomic and un-usable completely black remote control brick. You can solve this problem by using a Universal Remote which I assume most serious audiophiles will want to use anyway. I still give the changer 5 stars because I don't believe the bad remote is that big of a deal for most people. I use the optical digital output and I'm impressed with the sound. The Changer itself is quiet and quick. I purchased a 5 year warranty because I don't trust mechanical devices, but after 18 months I've had not one problem.

This review is from: Pioneer PD-F1009 301-Disc CD-File Changer (Electronics)
Let me start by saying that I am using the PD-F1007, which has the headphone jack that the Amazon review notes as missing from the 1009. I don't know why Amazon carries the 1009 and not the 1007, given that this appears to be the only difference, but all else seems to be in order.As an audiophile who used to work in radio, I've amassed quite a collection of CDs, so being able to have a few hundred of them in the player at a time is great. You can also specify groups of CDs by categories; I found this handy this past Christmas when we loaded up our collection of holiday CDs and grouped them. Then, if we felt like listening to holiday music, we'd play that group on "random"; and if we were tired of the holiday cheer, we'd choose another group from which to play songs at random. The machine is easy enough to learn how to use, and the sound quality is fine. The mechanism itself is quieter than the typical 6-CD cartridge-based changes that Pioneer and JVC make (I've never used the Sony 300 disc player), and I've found it quite suitable for playing soft background music at parties we've hosted, even with the constant CD shuffling that random play requires. I've always been happy with the quality of Pioneer's CD-players, my previous one (a 6-changer) offering 8 years of excellent service. For the price, I don't see how you can go wrong with this player. Highly recommended.

This review is from: Pioneer PD-F1009 301-Disc CD-File Changer (Electronics)
... ... It'll take you one full evening to get 301 CD's into it. But this isthe machine for me as I have close to 800 CD's now. The 6 discchangers just weren't cutting it. I did notice a diference in thesound quality but I think you can overcome that with digital optical cable or using a good monster cable. The big advantage with the player is the Random feature. Hey man, with 300 CD's this is DAYS worth music. We're talking not hearing the same tune twice in a week or weekend. The hell with commercial radio! I've got my own station with this player. It also has some good programming functions and I like the CD Text. My only concer is that the unit can stand up to consistent use. The last CD jukebox I bought was Sony 25CD which was in 1991. It never worked out of the box and I've been with 6Cd Onkyo since then. But alas, my collection has grown far beyond the capabilities of 6 gun changer. If you're looking for something that can handle a chunk of your large collection then this is the PD-f1009 is for you.
10/06/04: I was going over some of my old reviews and found this one. I mentioned in the original review above I was concerned about this player's consistent usage. Well I am happy to report I have had absolutely no problems with this CD player! I would in fact buy another and daisy chain it with this one were I not using Windows XP's media features to "rip" my CD collection to a hard drive. Still I'm extremely happy with this product and commend Pioneer for its price and durability.
