"You Get What You Pay For"

Overall: 2 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I'm not satisfied with this now. I only have it because I paid a bit of money for it and I need something to play CD's. I want something that feels more reliable and designed properly.

Sound
Very noisy player, you can hear sounds of the PA when the laser is moving inside of it. Loud pops when the player stops at the end of a track.

Features
Good features, it will stop at the end of each track, good time display, shows remaining time, remembers settings even after ejecting disc and inserting a new one. Like the blinking Play lights, easily shows which is paused. Good features that you'd expect. Also a bar display showing how much remains / or has been played of a song.

Ease of Use
Large buttons, large display. Buttons sometimes need to be pressed hard to actually respond. Display is easy to read, shows important information.

Quality
Player seems solid but some thing's worry me. I lightly bumped one of the pitch faders and it fell off, now it won't even go back on the player, it should easily snap in or something, but there's no way, it won't go back on. Rotary Wheels seem kind of loose, not solid. And the thing that gets me the most is that they don't use flathead screws on the tops and bottoms of each unit, it will NOT fit into a 4 space rack due to the screws sticking out from the top and bottom. It's useless when trying to save space in a rack, if you read more have a 6U rack for example, you'll only have 5 usable spaces, what a stupid design. Still wondering why I can hear mechanical noise through the output of this thing, makes the player seem really cheap and worries me that it will just give out sometime. I want to replace this as fast as I can. Seemed to work well once outdoors in slighty cold weather, lots of condensation, that I am happy for.

Value
Yeah, I know why it's so cheap. You get what you pay for.

Manufacturer Support
I e-mailed them once with a question, months ago, still no response, I assume their support is useless.

The Wow Factor
Nothing special about this. I don't want it.
