Why take the risk.Now it's too late to return it. I know there aren't many other options but this player is JUNK. I sure got one. I strongly caution anyone from buying this product.
I'm so disgusted with it that I have a fantasy of throwing it off the roof of my house and seeing it shatter on the pavement below.but that's a bit extreme. I've wasted a lot of time and money trying to just get it to work. I stopped using it after about two months because it would not read any CD or MP3 discs, even commercial CDs. The thing is, I put a cheap after-market MP3/CD player in my car and that works BEAUTIFULLY. A few times I've gone back to it, tried burning a CD differently, only to find it will start reading a CD then stop.I didn't mind how cheapely it's made (it feels like a practically empty box) but the bottom line is that it just doesn't work. I actually bought this player several months ago and I've had nothing but problems.
When it first stopped working, I took it to a local repair place per TEAC's instructions and it worked again for a few more weeks then stopped reading anything. I'm surprise to see ANY glowing reviews, but maybe, as someone else writes, it's a quality control issue and there are many lemons with this product. Unfortunately, it's going to the landfill (recycling facility, actually), which is a shame. So I know it's not the MP3 discs I'm making and trying to play. I don't usually write reviews but I'm strongly compelled to do so in this case. I gave up and started using my portable MP3 player, instead.
(Are you listening TEAC.).
If you don't mind taking a chance and/or dealing with exchanges this could be a good player for you at a decent price; I took the chance and lost at an inconvenient time, but the situation was resolved in the end. I won't, however, consider buying this Teac player again. We scrambled to find another player and managed to make everything work, but it was a major inconvenience and caused a lot of stress at the time.The good news is that the return and refund with Amazon were easy and handled quickly. The major problems were the disc tray not opening and the carousel not moving between discs - sometimes it would play one track on a particular disc, other times nothing would play. I tried the player out at home after receiving it and experienced some very minor issues but decided to use it at the event. I purchased this player to use at an event where we needed music over many hours, switching often between tracks and discs. Unfortunately the player stopped working correctly quite early in the event. Looking again at the other reviews it seems there are perhaps some quality control issues - many units work fine, but a significant number have problems out of the box.
But when I read the description it said that it shuffled. The CD player workes grate. My old CD player shuffle between one disk to a nother disk, this one only shuffle's on a disk
This unit correctly loads and plays the CDs. The cheap player messed up the CDs and they frequently got stuck inside the player. In short, a good unit at a reasonable price. It arrived as promised and plays as promised. No surprises good or bad.It replaced another cheap player that I bought two years ago at Circuit City. There are no special features, but all the available features seem to do what they were supposed to do.
I am very happy and pleased of my purchase of this TEAC unit, thank you very much. this is my first cd changer from teac , I should have bought it a long time ago, amaising sound quality , a smooth operation in the changer, in switching of the carousel. Domenic Marzullo
