1 out of 5 stars i've been ripped off   April 11, 2007
jaq in wis (wisconsin)
I got this as a Christmas gift in 2005, so it is out of warranty. It had been used less than 100 hrs. when the CD player stopped working, leaving my CDs stuck inside. When I called the number for authorized repairs, I got a recording telling me it was too cheap to repair. I then emailed, asking for a repair service; never got a reply. I took it to a local shop, and was told the whole CD system was broken, and the part would cost him 180.00, without labor. This unit cost my daughter 170.00, which is no small amount of money.

It took me a long time to settle on this unit, but I'm glad I did. It's got a bunch of great features that you can read about here, and a few others maybe not mentioned. I have an iRiver mp3 player, and I can plug it into this stereo via the USB and play it through the stereo. It gets better though - since the stereo recognizes the file structure of the mp3 player, I can use the remote control to skip around playlists and tracks on my own mp3 player. And of course, you can do the same thing with the little mp3 player it comes with.

The sound that this unit puts out is fantastic; pretty powerful bass, and clear mids and highs. Plenty of volume too - it won't shake walls, but you can have a pretty large party going on in the room its in, and it can certainly be heard above it.



5 out of 5 stars Great system for listening to your MP3's with out a computer!!   February 25, 2006

Pros: Supports upto 20Gb of a USB Mass Storage device, free mp3 player for the kids.

Cons: No Mp3 ripping only Live recording (from any source).

This is a great system to keep the PC out of the picture, no more Stereo jacks to your Audio component, no more wasting a computer to hear music.

Just get a (or two) USB based storage device like the 6GB MicroGem or GigaBank(CF HD based) and drop all your music, the system will search all mp3 or wma in the USB device and will play it any way you want to (shuffle, one by one) you can even browse the folders to select a song.



2 out of 5 stars good sound, but...   February 6, 2006

hm, where to begin? i got this for Christmas this past year. i set it up, and loved the sound. however, i soon found some problems.
1. takes too long to change cd's already inside the stereo. have read about various stereo units using this "accordion" disc change mechanism, and this is a common problem. i wish that they would go back to making the carousel versions, even if they do take up more space. but maybe you can live with this.
2. is inconsistent reading mix cd's from the computer. sometimes it plays just fine, but several times, i'd put in my favorite cd, and after a few minutes of whirring sounds in the drive area, it would go to the next cd and act like my cd wasn't there entirely. sometimes i could get it to work if i pushed it again and waited out the long process of the cd being read. sometimes i couldn't. i use iTunes alot for my music downloading, so alot of my songs are on CD-R's. i wasn't willing to gamble. this was within a week of me getting this stereo.
other than that, the radio was fine, remote was pretty good, and i didn't bother with the mp3 player after running into problems recording onto it. i didn't get it for the mp3 player, so it wasn't that big of a deal for me. if you don't use CD-R's, go for it. i wish i could find another stereo that looked this good and played better.
