Does the screen have to be open to play *CD's*? or can the screen be off/flat / does it shut off when you close the "lid"

The unit plays CD & DVD's with screen open, or closed. You have to turn off the unit manually.

There is an on and off switch on the side of the player. Lid can be closed. Everything can be run through the remote control.

This unit continues to play CD's and DVD's when you shut the lid down. You need to manually TURN OFF the power after closing the lid, otherwise the battery gets run down if you unplug it.

Yes, I have caught one time where when I picked up the case it turned on inside the case, however it has always shut off when I close it. I also have a timer to turn my screen off after a minute or so, which I would think help if it didn't turn off.

No, it does not. When the unit is on and a disk is playing, you will see the current playback position, but when the unit is off there is no display.

Yes, it does. If you power off and leave the disk in, it will also resume playing when you turn the machine back on. This is setup in the menu.

The music box will only play when you wind it up. If it is wound up, it will play with the lid open and stop when the lid is closed.

Yes it does. Also it automatically will shut itself off after playing a CD after a period of inactivity.

This cd player is a single din unit. The face plate is rather large and I had to remove the beauty piece from the install kit to be able to close the fromy screen.

Yes. If it is not plugged into the power source the screen automatically turns off and the sound remains. I believe there is also a way of turning off the screen if it is plugged in but I do not know as we do not do that.

You have the hold the CD button down until it switches to AUX on the screen.

I presume you can do that. Mine is part of my home theater system. I turn the TV off if I just want to listen to CDs. However, I tune in to the music channels on my cable service to listen to a lot of music.

Sorry so late. Mine runs thru the rotation once. Then stops playing. If it sits for about a half hour with no command it goes to stand by then shuts off.

Yes. I just tried it. A track, time display & menu appears, the disc starts playing. The FF, skip buttons operate as usual, the arrow keys navigate the small menu. I'd suggest turning sound "enhancements" off; speakers do ok with vocals, headphones are better. If running on battery, might as well use minimum backlight; i didn't play it long enough to see if the screen saver kicks in.

Power Options -> System Settings -> "Choose what closing the lid does" -> Assuming you want to change this for a plugged in scenario, change "When I close the lid:" to 'Do Nothing".

My son indicated that the CD will start back up where last stopped even when it is stopped/turned off. When you press the play button next, it resumes where it stopped.

Yes, it does have the "closed / off" "open / on" feature. Biggest thing is you need to make sure it stays closed, cause if it keeps moving your screen could turn on and off, and drain your batter faster.

No the screen does not stay out you can take it off and on same as your CD/DVD player it is detachable.yes you can load cd's or dvd.It.

Agree with previous response, yes it does turn off, I think its a design flaw, hopefully they will make newer version which will have some battery backup to cover moments like starting the car. But it does restart where it was, I did not have to do anything, not so for game DVDs, but movies yes.
