Comments about Yamaha Yamaha 5 Disc Black CD Changer In Black:

The product works very well but it would be easier to use if the remote sensor, and associated display, were located above the disc tray. With the tray open, you cannot see the display and you must hold the remote below the open tray before it is functional. The random disc selection feature is excellent in that it not only creates random selections within a disc but it also randomizes multiple discs.

Comments about Yamaha Yamaha 5 Disc Black CD Changer In Black:

I use this in a basic system: 4 speakers (2 each side), Yamaha receiver. Used for reading and casual listening, not audiophile. Very solid unit with a good sound, no skipping, quick loading, quiet mechanism.
I was able to easily program my Yamaha receiver remote to operate this unit.
I don't like the carousel. I can't find a way to rotate it while the tray is open, and it's tricky to load the 2 "back" slots without dropping the disc.

Comments about Yamaha Yamaha 5 Disc Black CD Changer In Black:

First unit that I purchased didn't read the CDs. Evidently, the laser was bad.After exchanging [...], the unit now works well. Exchanging CDs is very easy and the player switches between CDs quicker than unit that I used to have. Unit is easy to use, although some functions are only accessable on the remote control.
