I bought this for my uncle. It is typical Panasonic build quality - really good. Very slim and plays excellent.Few points to improve:1- put open sides on the disc tray to help remove the disc holding the disc sides. Now need to put finger in the hole to remove - not good. Old disc tray worked better.2 -display on front should be larger and more info - CD plays track OR time, but not both. Would be nice to see both plus highlighted number of tracks like older Technics CD players.3- put "skip" buttons on the front of the player. Remote is not always the way to use.Other than that, excellent value for the money. Better quality than the cheapo players. Trust me.
