The eject button would not work after only five The sound system has a CD player that is convenient to have when using a PC for most CDs
3/5

We also use a PC for most music, but it is convenient to have a CD player. It only ejects a CD once every couple of times and we haven't used it for a long time. We have not been able to locate warranty information. It is not a valid option) or lastly get a hold of you by leaving a message for a callback. At the moment, I don't want to receive a call.

The CD player you are buying is NOT a Marantz product
3/5

Marantz Professional alone is not connected to Marantz, so do not believe that you are buying a Marantz product. It is not that big of a problem in and of itself. In reality, the problem is that the CD mechanism appears to have some issues. On mine, the unit won't take a CD in until I pressed the "Eject" button, and even then, it wouldn't read the tracks until I switched it off Every time I inserted a CD, I had to repeat this process. It is expected that a CD player would have decent sound quality, but the BT unit doesn't live up to expectations considering its over $200 price tag. The product is being returned and I would not recommend it.

This is an excellent product at the price it is offered
4/5

This page has been viewed 24 times since 8/24/2018. I find first impressions to be I got it just The only albums I've listened to up until now are 2 CDs. With the unit being made of metal, it has a weight to it, and the same is true for As a musician, I need to figure out chords by ear a lot. While I am no audiophile, I do have pretty good ears (I know some chords by heart). A high-end device that costs $499 isn't worth it to me The CD player will end now. I haven't seen a pmd lately, so There are several aspects of the 526c that I like A low-priced, basic CD player with an RCA output (I'm not sure what the XLR on this unit means, and I don't have any other speakers with an optical connection than my TV soundbar. Prior to purchasing, you need to keep these things in mind It is not possible to turn off the unit using the remote control As long as the "on/off" switch is on the unit itself (which is fine with me since I put it next to my alarm clock speakers), it can be turned on or off.

A good single CD player that's hard to find
5/5

As of yet, everything seems to be going well. It replaced an Onkyo that had given out after three years of moderate to light There is no difference between the sound quality of most CD players and that of this one. It's nice to do away with the rear loading mechanism and use the front loading one instead. You won't need to wait for a drawer to open, and, as long as the CD contains the song title, you'll be able to view it as well. Three pluses are to be found there. The MP3 player or phone can be directly connected via the front-facing 3. 5mm jack, even though the volume needs to be turned up to its maximum. There is a minus with the remote control interface because it is not the most user-friendly. Although its compact size allows for easy storage in a pocket, it does have an affordable price point. Nice to have a Yamaha receiver on top of it. In order to promote airflow, I attached some adhesive boots to the bottom. There are no rack brackets attached to the unit when it is delivered. It has been one month since I purchased the product and I am extremely satisfied. Let's hope it lasts as long as my last player did. If you are buying modern electronics, it is always best to purchase an optional warranty.

Whenever you want to play a CD, forget other Simple and compact, this CD/media player can play a variety of media
5/5

Carousels are unnecessary, who needs them? The goal of the program is to get you the best sound possible from your media files. In addition to hooking up my Behringer 3,500W active PA system with XLR cables this weekend, I also plan to hook up my Yamaha 100W amp to the JBL Studio Series tower speakers, which I've been blasting for the last week. My living room is equipped with two sound systems. HAI This unit features BT and will be handy for my sons to plug in their cell phones to listen to music. A CD player I have not owned before is this one. It won't take long for you to be impressed as well. It is my hope that this will help.

The pouch slides into a standard 19-inch pouch securely and easily The audio rack should be 12. 5 inches wide I am able to route dynamic sound through my mixer to the speakers using the two XLR outputs. I almost forgot to mention that the Bluetooth connection worked flawlessly with my smartphone, pad and laptop- The sound quality is high.

CD player with a great sound quality
5/5

It has become one of my favorite CD players. It's just very handy to have the "pro audio" design since it only does what you ask of it. There is nothing extra that happens when you push the button, unlike home audio (consumer audio). Playing begins when the CD is inserted, not just after it is loaded. The inputs are not changed just because you plug something into the USB port. It does exactly what it is asked A great deal of quality was achieved in the sound. I've had no issues with Bluetooth. This is my favorite iPad yet because there is no tray to slide in and it is easy to use It's fun to go out (and have my children or cats break things). I like the fact that it's a great piece of gear at a good.

There are features
3/5

It is disappointing that this Marantz device has a low level of quality despite it having the name. The USB drive playback was one of the reasons I purchased this unit. This unit had been in my possession since December 2019, but I have just now unboxed it and found that it cannot access individual files on can play each song to the end of the USB drive and know how many songs are on it. However, it cannot go to any specific file and can only read from the USB drive. The user manual outlined the requirements for putting more than 999 files on the USB drive, so I followed those guidelines. The song title and artist are read randomly in the CD mode, in addition to the haphazard manner in which they are read. Initially, "Unknown artist or song" appears on the display when playing one song, but then the rest will show up when the other is.
