Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The PD-F407 is the perfect product for listening to your favorite CDs around the house or at a party. Its 25 disc capacity gives the user many options, and the product’s 3 random play modes keep the music playing uninterrupted for hours. This product offers many features that further enhance your listening experience, including Best Play, Programmed Play, and 7 repeat modes. It is always a hassle rummaging through discs to find the music you want, but with the PD-F407, that is done for you, allowing for continuous and high quality sound.

Features

Best Play

With this feature, you can store up to 15 tracks from any of the discs in the PD-F407’s memory, forming a playlist of your favorite songs. With one touch of the remote, the track that is currently playing will be automatically stored and ready for listening. This allows you to create an even more specialized playlist of your favorite music, providing entertainment or background music for hours.

PD-F407

Previous Scan

This product feature allows the user to hear the first 10 seconds of the last 15 discs played, helping them find music that they recently listened to. This element of the product is essential to effectively navigating through the library and finding exactly what is needed. It is a feature like this that sets Pioneer apart in the field of large scale CD storage.

Custom File Feature

The technology embedded in the PD-F407 allows users to create as many as 3 custom groups that can hold as many CDs as needed. This feature allows listeners to group their CDs by genre, artist, or other personal preference, making it easier to navigate through all 25 discs at a time and create a more personalized library of music.

Random and Repeat Modes

The versatility of this product is seen through the wide range of random and repeat modes made available to the user. Three random play modes allow you to listen to songs in random order from a single disc, all discs, or a custom selection of discs. On top of that, there are 7 repeat modes, allowing for a wide range of listening options. These include single track, single disc, all discs, custom mode discs, custom mode disc random and single disc random selections.

Other Features

The PD-F407 also offers a “Hi-Lite” button, which plays a ten second portion of the first track on each disc, helping you to locate the music that you want. In addition, Programmed play lets you program in up to 32 tracks, making it easy to listen to the tracks you want in the order you prefer. Other impressive features include last disc memory, which remembers the last CD you played even after the power is shut off.

Product Description

Keep the music playing with Pioneer's PD-F407 25-disc CD player. The slot-loading changer helps you organize and get creative about how you listen. In addition to its standard features (play, repeat, 32-track programming), the PD-F407 has a few that are more unusual--and perfect for a CD jukebox. "Best play" is a one-touch trick that lets you commit any 15 tracks to the PD-F407's memory. Just hit the BEST button while a track is playing and the player will automatically store that track in memory. Later, on hitting "best play," the unit will play back all 15 tracks in sequence. Another cool feature is "previous-disc scan," which simply plays the opening ten seconds of the last 15 discs played. The PD-F407 also lets you create up to 3 custom files, or groups, with no limit to the number of CDs in each file. This is a terrific way to file discs by genre or by favorite artist. When you hit play after having hit stop or turned the unit off, it will begin playing the last disc before shutdown. What's more, your programmed sequences are preserved even when powering down thanks to Pioneer's memory hold feature. Select random playback to let the player choose selections from among all 25 discs, from a single disc, or from a designated "custom" file. A "Hi-Lite" button plays a 10-second portion of the first track on each disc. There are also many variations on all of these programmable features, depending upon what mode you are using at the time.

The PD-407 is an awesome disc changer but there is one major item that could be there and should. A Remote. This model is not supplied with a remote there is a brother version of it that is the PD-507 and badabing it has a remote so if you plan on using the PD-407 with a Pioneer reciever which has a control out jack then it is for you but if you do not have that or do not feel like getting up to make your selections manually then go with the big brother version the PD-507. But overall for the buck dollars this product is worth it.

For the money this has proved to be a very nice CD Player, certainly better than the 5 disc changer it replaced. A few moire features would be nice, like reading the CD names into the display. With 25 CD's it's hard to keep track of what is where, but I didn't want to spend a lot of money so really can't complain. If you want lots of features this probably isn't for you, but if like me you just want more music variety without constantly changing CD's this is well worth the money.

The machine works flawlessly. The sound is good and the ease of operation is excellent.I have loaded it with 25 disks and just hit random and it plays forever with NO repeats. The only drawback is that there is no remote, but when set on random this is not a factor. This is an excellent machine at a great price. Go for it.
