Summary: Teriible Quality CD Player
Review: I didn't have any clicking problems, but just before the year was up, it would just stop playing on random and sit at the first disk. I brought it to one place recommended by Pioneer and had to wait about two months to get it back. About six weeks later the same thing occurred, brought it to another fix-it shop and am told that there is nothing wrong with it. I just think it is not built well and will have intermittant problems until I buy a new and different one.

Summary: Worth every of your buck when it works.
Review: I got this player half year ago, and actually have been using it for 3 months. I applauded for its oustanding price/feature ratio until recently it broke down. Its mechanical moving part, including laser head and CD spinner, frequently locked itself, generating huge "click" sound. If it's lucky starting playing a CD, everything is okay. But when it moves from one CD to another, in random or sequencial order, the moving part gets stuck forever. Yes, I bought it at a very sweet price, as long as it still worked. To me, the moving mechanism inside is kinda fragile.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Click, click BOOM!
Review: I owned mine for about a year when it started making the clicking noise as the laser would get hung up as it changed disks. Yes, I got it for a [good deal], but I now wish I had spent the extra [money] to get a real CD jukebox.

Summary: This should be recalled. Click. Click. Click. Click...
Review: I searched for this unit on Amazon to see what other owners had to say about it. I was shocked to see the same exact problems.

I too had major clicking noises (that can only be explained by hearing) and locking up, etc. I luckily was within the year warranty (by a week!) and had it fixed. But certainly, this unit is something to pass on.

I wanted a larger variety in random play other than 5, but not as obnoxious as 100+. So I felt 25 was just right. But the annoyance of waiting for it to process it's thoughts and getting to the next cd.. or just plain stopping to change one cd is unacceptable. With so many of the same problems, these units should be replaced.

Attention Pioneer Company: Feel free to contact me to offer me a newer improved model. Otherwise, I am off to any other brand but Pioneer for any product.

Summary: Got Lucky?
Review: I was going to buy this unit because it is the one I am responsible for at work, where I program the store and phone music. The only thing I didn't like about it was the length of time it took to stop playing and return the laser head to the start position before it would allow you to open the door to change cds. Other than that, this model has run 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for almost 2 years without a problem. Seeing the rest of these reviews, however, has scared me off and lowered my rating from 4 star to 3 star, as it appears we got a unit that was an exception to the rule. Either that or people are more likely to write reviews of something they've had bad experiences with than one they've had a good experience with. It makes you wonder sometimes how over-all balanced these collections of reviews really are. Oh well, I got a great deal on a Sony unit instead.

Summary: Fails to change disks
Review: I was never really happy with this changer due to the noisy clicking sound it made when changing discs. Then, about a year after purchase, it stopped changing discs altogether. Makes a horrible noise as it tries to change discs, then displayes an error message and won't even shut off when the power button is pressed! I would not recommend this product.

Summary: Fails to change disks
Review: I would NOT recommend any of Pioneer's CD-changers... I have had TWO 25-CD changers in the last FIVE years. And both have stopped working on me within 22 to 30 months of purchase. My second one just died tonight. I bought it in June 1999.
