Overview
A motorized carousel inside the cabinet stores hundreds of discs and pulls up any one with the jog dial. It plays commercial and burned CDs, shows CD text, and fades between songs through RCA or optical outputs.
Holding a whole CD library in one box turns it into a jukebox for parties and long listening. It needs a large shelf, and finding discs depends on keeping the memo and text data organized.
Who it's for
Collectors with shelves of CDs and a hi-fi system get a jukebox they can browse. People who stream their music have little use for it.
Pros and cons
- Holds a whole CD collection
- Plays burned CD-R and CD-RW
- Optical digital output
- CD text artist display
- Very heavy and bulky
- No USB or streaming
- Dimensions not listed
Performance notes
Disc changes take a moment as the carousel rotates to the chosen slot. Sound quality over the optical output depends on the receiver's converter, while the RCA output uses the player's own. CD text helps browse only on discs that carry it.
