This unit starts out good, gee you are impressed with all the features. In about a year of moderate use it turns in to a piece of useless junk. Here is what happens. First, it stops in the middle of CD cuts, from that point this may last a week, may be two weeks. After that, it refuses to play a disc, oh you might find one in ten it might like and then play it. You can remove the disc it just played, stick it back in the machine and the message comes up, "No disc!" First one deck and then other develop the same problem. Toward the last straw with this unit mine would not play a thing, same discs play fine in my ten year old Radio Shack units and my Magnavox changer, my computer and my car CD player.

I have cleaned the lasers, but always the same story, machine indicates it is reading the disc, then tells me it has no disc. This unit is heading for the scrap heap of techo crap. I am replacing it with a new Nunmark. If you want a long term reliable machine, pass this one up, if you just need one to work for about a year, buy the Gemini.
