5 Stars Another Yamaha Excellent product
I have searched and reviewed and even owned other brands but the one that ALWAYS delivers is Yamaha. My entire Sound system is now Yamaha, (Surround Sound Amp, Speakers, CD changer). Why? Because they work and deliver. This CD changer is easy to install, fast change when a selection is made, and produces true and full sound. My only complaint is that where we live in Central California, there are NO REPAIR services available, in the rare instance when one might be needed. If your looking for a quality, fast and reliable CD changer, look no further, you just found it. I have owned Sony and Dennon and they are not able to match the responsiveness of this unit (in my estimation).

5 Stars A Fine Piece of Equipment
I was used to a Sony player/changer that had suddenly lost its mind, jumping around the discs at will and stopping when it got tired. I turned it in to Goodwill. I’ve heard people say that Sony has been riding on its reputation for some time now. I don’t know if this is true but I DO know that this player lasted only a couple years. Thus, the upgrade to Yamaha.

And so far, so good! My ear told me the first time I played a disc that its sound was better — more present, more real. These are not technical terms but they best describe what I’ve heard. Operation is smooth and fast enough and I’ve encountered no problems so far. I do wish the remote had specific numbers for going directly to discs on the changer, rather than just forward or back. But this is only a petty complaint (if even that).

All told, satisfaction!

5 Stars happy listener
It’s not easy to find a multi-disk CD player anymore. We now have a blu-ray DVD player and it is single disk and won’t play CD’s so we needed something else for our CDs. This one works perfectly and plays random tracks with little switching noise or delay. We are very happy with it.

5 Stars Great Product!
Works as advertised, no problems with set-up, no problems with delivery,no problems at all, follow the directions, hook it up and listen to your cd’s.
