Title: Not up to the hype...
Product review: Hmmmm. It seems like a safe investment, doesn't it? Technics. Good company. But I've owned mine for a couple of years, and right from the beginning I've had lots of problems. CD's get stuck frequently, and it is NOT a good cd player overall, as some other reviewers here have mentioned, sometimes brand new cd's will skip terribly, so then you check your new album, and lo and behold...no scratch, nothing. And I too have taken mine to a repair shop, where I was finally told, it simply is not a good player. It's not all bad, but these are considerable problems( and if your cd actually does have a scratch, forget it. It's not worth the aggravation you'll go through skipping tracks, even a minute scratch...), and the pretty blue lights just don't make up for it. Don't say you were not warned...
