Review: We have a SL-MC7 (110 disk big brother of SL-MC4). It's worked fine for several years, long enough I can't remember exactly how many - more than 4, though. It skips on a dirty or scratched disk like any other player; cleaning or polishing the offending disk usually fixes the problem. It also plays cdr's burnt on a Liteon 52246S with Nero, although it isn't guaranteed to do so. It plays the wrong disk on occasion, that occasion being when the disk is in the wrong slot. That is easy to do unless you've really good eyes and good light, but there isn't anything to be done for it: you want the disks crammed all together, right?It has played the tracks of a disk in a funny way, and I can't really say why, but it was purely temporary and only happened a few times, maybe 3 or 4. My Sony 5 CD changer that cost twice as much fouled up much more regularly. But because we had to shuffle disks in and out it seemed more like something expected, simply because of all the handling. We just pulled the disk and reseated it, a procedure with which almost everybody is familiar. The same thing fixed the SL-MC7, but it might seem like a bigger deal to do. There is a way to reset the internal micro (along with several warnings about various things not to do) documented on a separate sheet tucked in the owners manual. I had to do it once, when it was new; the thing didn't respond at all. I'm reasonably certain (I design micro based embedded systems) that I was the source of it's confusion, playing around trying to get familiar with it. And NO, it shouldn't have any such Achilles heel, but lots of stuff does, anyway. (Can you say Microsoft?) Once we had the thing stuffed and a stable pattern of use, it faded right into the background, an ideal state for any piece of equipment. The music is what matters. As far as we are concerned, recommended.
