Works great for someone who does not need a home theater system.just a nice CD player for the bedroom or office space. Not much is different with the new one. I have had a Pioneer 6-disc magazine CD player for 12-13 years without any problems. When the carousel in our Sony CD/tape player quit working, I only wanted to replace it with the Pioneer, a proven product. I would highly recommend.
And it work's just as good as that one. The CD player I bought is like the one in my Truck. I would buy it all over again.
The great convenience of this machine is that it takes up about half the space of the carousel type. This forces me to be nearby to fast-forward past the servo's difficulty. Given my space limitations, I tried a second one because of this. I've had two of these. It blurbs through. However, two times (starting a decent time after purchase) indicate a manufacture engineering defect. Each eventually developed the same problem--the servo that moves the laser reader across the disc loses its ability to scan/play the first few minute or so of any CD. I would advise against purchase.
No problem.I have purchased PIoneer products since 1992 and have been very satisfied with the durability and quality.
This version, now only 6 months old, refuses to play discs 5 and 6 and will halt with error code 02 if attempted. Its a great design (although your CDs need to be in perfect shape to play). I had a very similar Pioneer player from the early 90's that lasted until my baby boy stuffed his toys inside the cartridge slot, almost 20 years. The basic design for this player is unchanged from that era. Good design, cheap build quality.
