no skips!.......2001-08-25
Excelent CD Player.......2001-06-02
Great Machine (Beep!) For the Price (Beep!).......2001-05-18
First of all, whenever you hit the repeat/shuffle button (called "mode"), there is an audible "beep" in whatever you are listening to and a little interuption a while later. The "beep" also happens if you hit pause, change tracks, or boost the bass. (It beeps to remind you that the machine is on pause, too- which is actually helpful.) Some people might find that mildly annoying. Others won't care.
Second, they've set it up so that when you use the mode option, you must go through the shuffle options before you get to the repeat options. The trouble is that when you engage shuffle, it goes into random search mode for a new tune on the disk interrupting whatever you are listening to. That's a problem if you decide to put the tune you were listening to on repeat because you have to move pretty quickly to the repeat function before being thrown into another selection. (This happens even if you have paused the machine.)
I've read some vague complaints about the ear phones but the phones seem fine to me except for the fact that the second level of bass boost distorts. (I don't notice a big difference when I use other ones, however.) I will say that the phones are relatively large and comfy on the ears. (They don't fold.) I'm also not sure that the jack is really conveniently placed on the unit. (It's right next to the volume control.) The battery compartment is also placed inside the unit so you have to remove the disk to change batteries. (You don't have to stuggle to get the disk on an off the hub, however, which is great.)
Basically, the problems are minor ones which you can live with. It's otherwise a sturdy little unit with great features. It's very programable. And it has shuffle, repeat, repeat all, two levels of base boost etc. It also has a scan feature that plays the first few seconds of everything. (Turn "scan" off by hitting "mode" again. That had me confused for a while!)
Nice for the price with one misfire.......2001-04-12
