Amazon.com Product Description: Keep the music playing with Pioneer's PD-F407 25-disc CD player. The slot-loading changer helps you organize and get creative about how you listen. In addition to its standard features (play, repeat, 32-track programming), the PD-F407 has a few that are more unusual--and perfect for a CD jukebox. "Best play" is a one-touch trick that lets you commit any 15 tracks to the PD-F407's memory. Just hit the BEST button while a track is playing and the player will automatically store that track in memory. Later, on hitting "best play," the unit will play back all 15 tracks in sequence.
Another cool feature is "previous-disc scan," which simply plays the opening ten seconds of the last 15 discs played. The PD-F407 also lets you create up to 3 custom files, or groups, with no limit to the number of CDs in each file. This is a terrific way to file discs by genre or by favorite artist.
When you hit play after having hit stop or turned the unit off, it will begin playing the last disc before shutdown. What's more, your programmed sequences are preserved even when powering down thanks to Pioneer's memory hold feature. Select random playback to let the player choose selections from among all 25 discs, from a single disc, or from a designated "custom" file. A "Hi-Lite" button plays a 10-second portion of the first track on each disc. There are also many variations on all of these programmable features, depending upon what mode you are using at the time.
25 disc changer ^ I'm a total novice regarding electronics, but I do love my music and my old player was skipping. So, I started looking for another player and came across the Pioneer 25 disc player. Wow! What I found in the stores were 5 disc and 3 disc players which cost more than this one. I ordered the Pioneer and a receiver (the receiver is a Sony) and I'm very pleased with them. The random setting is great while I'm working. There's only one problem, my husband used quite a few slots for his cds. Have to change them out soon.
great buy! ^ you can't beat the price for what you are getting, this does exactly what it says, load all your cds, hit random and enjoy!
I am Happy With This ^ My first package was dented and returned. They promptly sent a new one and it was expeditious. I love that this CD changer is continuous play and seems to have no problem with Mp3-copied CDs at all.
Performs as advertised ^ Make this short and sweet. Amazon shipped it the day I ordered it and got it three days later. Given that it was Free Shipping I thought it was "amazoning". The disk player does what it advertises. It plays all 25 disks in order, plays random tracks from all 25 or allows you to easily set up a custom play list. No remote. So What. Get off your fat butt and press a couple buttons.
PD-F407 PIONEER 25 COMPACT DIC PLAYER ^ As far as the CD player itself, it works fine and forfills all promises advertised. BUT most CD player have their own amplifier and volume control. This unit is not a stand alone unit but part of a home surround sound system and does not have installed to its self an amplifier and volume control. This fact is not publicized. Now I have to purchase a Pioneer amplifier or return this player for all the options I thought was included. CASE IN POINT " DO NOT ASSUME "
I would only recommend ths player to one that totally understands that it is not a stand alone unit.
Not enough information was publicized in the description of this player, very mis-leading.
