CD-Player Reviews

This is just speakers and a base. To work, you must also purchase the SkiFi receiver.

Very nice looking unit that plays satellite radio (XM), CD's (including ones you burn), and AM/FM radio. Highly recommended.

This is a awsome price for what your getting! You get a nice cd player, a car adapter so if you don't have a cd player in your car you can have one with your car tape player and car adapter. You also can listen to the radio with this cd player. I think you are getting a realy good price for all your getting!

I got this cd player a couple of days ago. I got it for the ride to and from school. It doesn't skip, it delivers a crystal clear sound. The headphones sound out all the noise, so i can't hear anybody else. Its a good value. When i get done and tired of listening to cd's i just turn on the am/fm radio, and i am set to go. It is the best cd player i have ever owned (out of the 3 i have already owned). And you can get it at a great price!

The XL-Z232BK is a nice-sounding single-disc player, perfect for those of us who do not trust multiple-disc models. The sound is rich and creamy. Both low and high frequencies sound very smooth, with little distortion. It sounds almost as clean as the thrice-as-expensive Marantz unit I borrowed when I was shopping around. The controls are so easy that the manual is totally unnecessary; the remote also has nice buttons which, although small, are well-organized and quite responsive. Likewise, the display on the main unit is easy to see and not at all annoying. Further sweetening the pot is the player's small footprint. It is about half as deep as my receiver, and fits nicely on a small shelf amongst my books. All in all, this is a pleasant little unit that won't break the bank. I like it a lot.

If you prefer a dedicated, serious, quality single disk player over the many multi-disk changers out there, than this could be the one for you. It lives up to my expectations completely, with no reservations. The sound is outstanding throughout the spectrum, and the easy up front controls make using the remote control optional. The styling fits in perfectly with the rest of my audio stack. Operation is crisp and responsive, controls are straight forward and easy to find and understand. The disk transport system is solid and even, not at all flimsy or noisy. Built solidly and with a quality feel, this one's a winner!

I purchase this cd-changer along with the VR-2080(Kenwood) reciever. This is a super combination.Believe me when I say, you won't be disappointed...

this is awesome because it carrys 200 cds if i were u i would buy it its only 199.99 so cheap for what it dose its amazing i love it i bought it it is the best switcher i have ever seen and i am a dj for an excecutive company just awesome

The Kenwood XD-A701 has several features that one doesn't expect in an inexpensive home theater system. First, it has Full Dolby Pro-Logic and the speakers that that requires. It lacks only a powered subwoofer, but it has a center speaker as well as two surround sound speakers. The two surround sound speakers are designed to be placed next to or behind the listener, and Kenwood has even had the foresight to provide enough speaker wire to reach and a slot on the back of the speakers for wall mounting. The system features a changeable sound delay (from 15 to 30 ms) so that surround sound effects coincide with the sound coming from the front speakers. The system is also equipped electronically to either upgrade the speakers or add a powered subwoofer. The 3 CD changer works quickly and allows the user to change CDs while another is playing. It also has modes for shuffling 1 CD, shuffling all the CDs, programming on 1, 2 or 3 CDs, repeating songs, or playing all the CDs through. The system has an attractive and easy to use display that includes full scrolling text. The dual jogs allow quick movement through menus and submenus once you get used to it. The sound control is impressive, with four genre settings, 4 computer controlled ambient sound emulations, 3 surround sound features, 3 programmable equalizer settings, and a even a flat equalizer setting. The dual cassette is able to be synchronized with the CD player for making mix tapes or recording whole CDs (or a series of CD selections). It is fully reversible, does song searching, and has Dolby noise reduction. As a whole, the unit is sharp looking and solidly built. If placed on the floor, however, it would be easy to apply too much pressure to the CD drawer and break it when it is open. The remote is complex enough to make navigation through the unit's features fairly simple. Oh, and the sound is very good. If you are a frequent rap listener, an added subwoofer will be necessary to pick up those 20-40Hz sounds that you can feel more than hear. I've played rock, jazz, and classical on this unit and it sounds like the artists are right there. Raiders of the Lost Ark sounds fantastic too. I expected a good unit from Kenwood, and I got a very good to excellent one.

this stereo is awesome! great sound, great look, it provides evreything you need in bookshelf stereo!

I recently bought myself this CD case to go with my new Discman. I LOVE IT! It's made of soft, sturdy, black leather. It has a wrist handle or a shoulder strap. It has a pocket in the front for accessories (batteries, headphones, you know) and it has a pocket for the cd player itself. Plus, it has a pocket with a discwallet inside. The wallet is removable if you want to put something else in there, but its really cool. I was surprised how cheap this case was because it's AWESOME! I totally recommend this to EVERYONE because its so wonderful. It's useful on planes, in the backseat of a car, etc. A definite buy for anyone with a Discman!

THis bag may look cheap but it holds up really well. If you don't have the money to buy the really expensive one get this one

I bought this as a gift for my parents for Christmas. They absolutely love the system, and it has performed very well... A great first-time surround sound audio collection...

This product is wonderful. It was quick and easy to set up and it came with everything necessary to put it together. I had a DVD playing 10 minutes after I took it out of the box! I shopped around before purchasing this system and this truly was a great value. The Oritron HT240 is one of the better-priced complete theater systems, and aesthetically it is one of the most attractive.

This is an excellent product to buy if you want to jog/walk without your CD player skipping. Since I purchased this belt, I haven't had my CD player skip once when I jog. The unit is comfortable, light, and fully adjustable. It has a small pouch to hold batteries/spare change, and a small "case" that can safely hold two extra CD's.

Overall, I highly recommend this product.

Short version: good quality, comfortable, design ok. Longer version: I think that the Jogger Belt is very nice to wear. No pieces that really disturb you, the belt is adjustable (not that much, though) and very comfortable. The design is ok, too. What I like is the small extra pocket on the belt, where you can put some cash or other small things you need - maybe even some headphones like the type that you plug in you ear. And maybe something interesting: I did not buy it, because I have a Panasonic CD Jogger. I bought it, because I have a Philips Expanium, which does not come with a jogger belt (and I just like those). So I was kinda curious whether it would fit in there and it fits just perfectly. So if you have an Philips Expanium or Panasonic CD Jogger I would just buy this belt - it is the best way to listen to your music without worrying about the transportation.

After 10 month, my sc-ak200 is alway perfect. I crank the volume and it had no distorsion. The sound is alway clean and crisp.

I added subwoofer yamaha ( yst-sw105) to add more bass and my experience with this system is marvelous.

I would recomend this purchase.

I wanted stereo with very good sound and powerfull.I had the choice between Panasonic, Jvc or Sony. I tried the jvc and sound is not good but it is hard to choose between panasonic and Sony. SC-ak200 or Mhc-gx20. I chose the ak-200 because it had two amplifier, better sound in low volume and a better sound definition with good bass for the speaker size. The sony has not this quality and my experience with this system is beautifull. Panasonic is recognized to make hight quality system.

Pros : Good and powerfull sound for the two ways speakers
: Good price for this quality
: 5 cd charger (CD-R and CD-RW)
: a beautiful appearance

Con :The only shade is the charger CD who is slow and do a little noise

For people who seeks a great quality system, low price with the beautiful sound, the Sc-ak200 of panasonic is for you.
