no problems here.
I've had this cd/radio for 4 or 5 years now and it's great! I have not had that first problem. The only thing I can complain about is when my husband gets home from work he has a tendency to slam the kitchen door and at times it will make my cd skip. I blame him though and not the player. It never does it otherwise. My radio works great and picks up many stations, my cd player is great and it does play burned cds. I will keep this thing until I run it into the ground. One other thing, the sound quality is decent, it works for where you have it. Plus, I have a ton of space for the more important kitchen items. If you want surround sound in your kitchen, wire it and hook it up. Not worth the sticker price My husband purchased this cd player and installed it for me 2 years ago. After about 1 year, the FM recetpion became quite poor. It finally got so that we could only hear it for a few seconds before the volume dropped to sub-human hearing levels. This is a more expensive version & definitely proves that more $$ does not ensure better quality. Terrible radio - look elsewhere! I have just recently taken this item out of my kitchen after years of displeasure. The sound quality is terrible. The volume mysteriously turns down on the radio and the only way to fix it is to either turn up the volume (and then get blasted away when the volume unexpectly increases!) or turn off/on the radio. This technique only works occasionally. Also, this player will not play any CD's that you have burned yourself. All-in-all, I would not recommend this radio to anyone. Don't waste your money! Too bad Amazon won't allow 0 or negative stars. I read the bad reviews on these but decided to try it anyway because the fetching Mrs. wanted it bad. What a mistake! When the plastic mount for the laser pickup broke from snapping CDs onto the spindle, it jammed and burned out a motor. It is the cheeziest CD drive mechanism I have ever laid eyes on, and I've seen a lot of them in my line of work. Avoid this piece of junk at all costs! Great for 2 years, then stinks We bought one of these in 2002. It worked great until we had it for two years. At that point, the radio started to fail. It doesn't tune the FM stations to "Stereo" correctly and sounds like the radio is inside a wind tunnel on both FM and AM. | |
