This CD changer seems incapable of successfully playing 5 CD's at a random setting without mis-reading at least 2 of the CD's- I'm constantly having CD's skip because they are not placing in the tray correctly when being played. Once I had one completely stuck in there and had to pay a repair shop to get it out (and paid about the same price of the CD changer!)Spend a bit more and get a reliable CD player that actually plays correctly.
