I purchased this cd changer because of its capability to play MP3 recorded discs. Being an old coot and not very tech savvy, my kids download music for me via MP3 devices and now I'm not restricted to only listening to them via my computer. This piece of equipment replaced a similar changer that was not able to play MP3 downloaded cds. It has become a valuable addition to my family and behaves better than my kids ever did.

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?

To be fair, this item has not gotten a huge workout since I bought it in June but it has done everything it's supposed to do & very nicely. Setup was very easy as far as which wires to plug into the amp & it has played CDs & MP3 disks very nicely. I have not explored the various program options but it serves my purpose well as a way to play my music with our "home theatre" amp & speakers. It IS big - I did measure it before ordering but they don't include the extra half inch you need for the hookups in the back - I had to cut out a large hole in the back of the console for it to fit behind the glass doors. If you have an open setup or a very large, flexible setup for your stereo or HT components, it won't be an issue but if space is a question (esp. from front to back) be sure to allow for this beyond the stated measurements. It was still a good price for a 5 disk changer. Note: no power control on the remote, you must turn it off on the front of the unit. Not an issue for me but may be for some, depending on your use.

After considerable shopping to replace my malfunctioning 14 year old disc player it was a pleasant surprize to see the offerings from Amazon. The TEAC 5 disc player suits my needs very nicely with a very fair price - easy installation, and easy to use. Many of our local electonic stores don't even carry these units anymore and those that do have a poor selection that were much more expensive. The young folks like the more advanced high-tech units but as a senior with several hundred discs it's a pleasue to load up my new player and listen to hours of entertainment. A very gratifying, cost efficient purchase.

Out of the box this unit did not work. Tried old & brand new cd's but this unit would not get past reading the disk & sitting there on track one & not playing. Jumped through a number of hoops to try to get it going, but nada. Tks mucho to Amazon for a relatively painless return.
