I purchased two of these after reading the reviews. I am totally happy with them. As one of the reviewers said, they are easy to hook up. I wanted to make sure I had a CD player that would read my cd/r's - and they do! No more crazy error messages!! I haven't had the opportunity to check out any MP3 CDs yet. The price makes this cd changer a great value. Would recommend this item to anyone.

Excellent sound, little if any digital to analog distortion. Mechanism works well as expected. A friend said he didn't know they still sell these old CD plalyers as he uses an Ipod dock. I find the sound quality slightly better than an Ipod dock. This CD player will handle MP3 music computer recorded in the data mode, which means that an ordinary CD can handle about 3 to 4 hours of songs. The shuffle mode works on data MP3 CDs. My only complaint, is that the CD player only shuffles one CD at a time. I would prefer to have it shuffle several times and then rotate to another CD. Also be careful when inserting the CD, as sloppy quick insertion can cause a jam up.

I am totally happy with this CD player. I had one before made by Teac that was similar to this one and it lasted 10 years. It's easy to hook up and plays beautifully. I would recommend this product to anyone.

For some inexplicable reason, the shuffle-play feature is severely handicapped. Not only must you activate it from the remote (there is no button on the player's control panel to do this), but it will only shuffle tracks on one CD at a time! If this is important to you, beware: you CANNOT shuffle a random mix of tracks from all the CDs in the carousel. Otherwise this appears to be a fine machine for the price, but I must be able to shuffle amongst all the CDs so that was a dealbreaker for me, and I had to return it. (Thanks, Amazon, for making returns simple.)

I'd be wary of this changer. The first one I bought failed mechanically (disk door wouldn't open) after 14 months of fairly frequent use. I rather foolishly (in retrospect) bought an identical model to replace it. This one failed after only 5 months. It plays one disk, but then hangs up and requires restarting to play another. I don't know whether this is a poor product or just chance, but I thought I ought to let people know about it.

We ordered one of these CD players as a Christmas gift to ourselves. The first one arrived and did not work. The CD tray would not spin. We returned it and just received our second one. It does not work either! The tray spins, but there are places where it gets stuck. If you put a CD in spots 1-3, it will find them and play them. But if you put a CD in slot 4 or 5, it doesn't find them. Also, when you hit the disc skip button to proceed to the next disc, sometimes it moves one disc over, sometimes it moves a few discs over, sometimes it starts spinning and spinning and doesn't stop. So, we give up. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt with one faulty player, but not with two in a row. There are obviously serious quality control issues with this product.

Everything about this CD change met or exceeded my wants and desires except that the remote does not have a "Power" button. I still have to physically be close to the changer to turn it on or off, a slight problem if you are trying to hide or place it in a remote location. A small problem that none the less detracts from my complete satisfaction.

This may be a good player but I'll never know. I plugged it in and pushed the button to open it. The carousel opened about 1 inch and that was it. I returned it. (Great return policy by Amazon!) I'll not take a chance on ordering another. If this broke immediately, how long would it last?

This TEAC 5 CD changer is just superb. It's easy to operate and very dependable. I'm so glad I bought this brand and not the cheaper, less reliable varieties I've purchased in the past. A great value for the price... you won't be disappointed!!

BEWARE of ORANGE CHIMP, the rascals that took my money for this worthless piece of junk. I've e-mailed them 3 times about the problems I had with this cd changer and those lovely folks have ignore all of them. I sure wish I had read the reviews before I purchased it.

Power button works, disc ejector works and that's it. It won't play the cd's. I, just like one other reviewer, didn't plug it in before the short warranty ran out. That's a mistake I won't make again. Judging from a lot of the other reviews you've got about a 50% chance you will have some significant problems with this thing.

I have a recommendation for Amazon - you really should allow someone to award 0 stars on a product. When something doesn't work it's worthless!!! Period!!!
