gsx dvd player: Is this brand a good choice if what I want is a reliable way to play recorded books on cd?

I would assume that if a recorded book on CD is in the standard CD-DA format like all commercial music CD's, then yes. Having never bought a book on CD, I would assume they are made to play in any audio CD player. And yes, this Coby player does play audio CD's.

I have only played music and audiobook CD's. I probably don't even know what computer cdr music discs are....sorry....

Hello Starr, I'm not sure however I have copied all types of cd's and dvd's. My favorite has been Memorex DVD-R. Perfect copy quality.

I have two of them. They are different brands, but the same player exactly. Neither on has worked as advertised. One stopped working after about 3 hrs of use and the second one is very slow use to copy. However, I mainly used them to copy CD's not DVD's

Most of the time though, I use the Dv-980H for DVD play back.But I also use the DV-980H to play CD, SACD, DVD-A, and MP3 have not encountered any problem in over a year's use. I also use it as a Hi-Resolution JPEG viewing device.

Haven't tried making CD's yet, but I do know I can that it works on my MAC and I can play DVD's. I have an old MAC that runs on OS X. I guess you can try it, I would.

The only cds played on it as far as I know are 1D cds that were purchased. What else did you have in mind? Maybe I can try them for you.

the only digital input is USB, with an asynchronous DAC, that works really nice...Thing is that USB ports on most computers are really bad in noise and power fluctuations... sooo.. solution is the Wyrd USB decrapifier, from Schiit.. works wonders.. personally owned and intensively tested and compared with CD player level of sound fidelity (in fact sounds fantastic)As for the DVD coax, or sorts, you can use receiver's analog RCA inputs without any fear, they are excellent and I bet you will never feel a difference from coax, optical, HDMI, or anything else...

The Teac CD-P 650 is a very good CD player, I like the fact it only loads one Cd at a time.I am very pleased with devise!

No CD player these days start instantly. Give it 4-5 seconds to read the disc.It says it plays MP3 material, even though I did not test it personally.I own this CD player, after sending back another brand/model, that got rave reviews, but did not play all my CD-Rs recorded on PC.This Tascam plays that CD-R. And it also sounds great.If you want a simple CD player that does the job without glitches, with a natural sound, this is one I would highly recommend.

I love mine! The perfect fit for CDs. I was never able to figure out how to change it for DVDs. My neighbor put it together for me. I personally don't think it'd be good for books. Hope this helps.

I have not tried cdr's, I do have trouble with playing regular cd's. Sometimes you have to insert them several times and wait for them to be read, very frustrating!

any brand...as long as it is DVD-R or DVD-RW you can record on and if you finalize the DVD after you finish using the DVD... you can play it on your computer.

We have had that product for several years now and it has been trouble free. Being new to the American market, that was a concern of mine prior to purchase, but that was quickly proven false. We are very satisfied with this product. It really does play any dvd, or cd we have put in it.

As for the DVD player it works very well, as does the CD player. If you are working with more speakers it should sound great.

My advice would be to go for the LG. The Samsung is a good player but the LG is multi-region Blu-ray with a remote code and a simple hack makes it multi-region for DVD too. The Samsung has a Reon scaler & the LG a QDEO scaler, both are excellent. I had the LG for almost 3yrs, it's a solid piece of kit and with the right firmwares (go to avs forums for these) you can play burnt BD - Rs & - REs, it plays all the HD audio types & it was updated to 'BD Live' for all the on-line stuff some discs have. The Samsung is a good machine & has its fans but I think the LG offers more.
