My husband only wants to play CDs - loves 60s/70s/80s music. Wants a great sound. Is this THE unit for me to buy for him? Is it slot or drawer?

Morning, It has a drive for the CD but only can play one at a time. I only use it to put my iphone on the dock and play from the iphone. It has a good sound to me.

It is a slot. Takes one CD at a time, but operates very smoothly. For the price, the sound is awesome. Compared it with a Bose Wave this weekend and the Yamaha sound is way better ( I am running it with a subwoofer).

I also love the same music and am particular about the sound . After only 10 days a new CD stuck in the drawer. I had to send the unit back. I decided to order a Denon d-m29s. A little more $ but well worth it. The sound is twice as good as the Yamaha. I also only play CDs on my unit. I would say don't buy the Yamaha if you want great sound but it will give you good sound. If you buy hope yours lasts more than 10 days.

It's not a slot, it's a drawer. You press the button and a slim drawer slides out. You place the CD onto the round indentation/holder in the drawer, then press the button and the drawer slides back into the unit. I have my unit in a large living room and I think it sounds great the way it is, but you can buy a subwoofer, too.

This is our 2nd one off these we came from Europe so left the one we had behind it was 4 years old and going strong it was played pretty much every day , we bought another exactly the same here in the states and are once again very happy with the look and sound . You press the button and the ( I would call it a draw ) slides out, you pop on your CD and it slides back in, hope this helps, enjoy .

I just bought this stereo and I love it. The sound is great! It has 1 CD drawer but it's a small unit and that's what I wanted. It also plays from thumb drive and Ipod and the radio has great reception. I highly recommend this product.

Anybody tried to play CD in this. I got this player but it's not playing CDs.

Yes.it works great.I play music and also OTR (old time radio) programs on it. The thunb drives in the USB port eliminates the need for CD'S.

I have never used this one to play CDs. However I owned the previous version of this player that played them without a problem. You should have no problem playing CDs with this unit. You will have to check the manual but I believe this will also play MP3 files on data CDs as well as regular audio CDS.

If you have a bunch of old records that you can't get on Cd or MP3, and you just want to listen to them, get the model with the built in pre-amp. You will also then be able to put them on your computer. But if you are looking for a vinyl based system that beats cds, mp3s etc, then you'll need a higher end turntable, cartridge etc. Otherwise you're better off plugging your Ipod straight into your amp!

ive got the pioneer PD-F407 , its about 7 years old . plays great but lifting up the front door to change cds is a pain because the doors tilted to one side and sort of gets wedged against the side of opening very tightly causing you to have to hold it with two hands and twist and fiddle with it to free it up to open all the way . a sketchy move because its on border line of cracking the door from all the force needed to get it unwedged . anybody know the fix ?

My wife uses cds and mp3'son this radio.Excellent purchase.I advise to also buy a cd cleaner that gives you voice instructions.

It has no place to play any kind of CDs - you have to plug in your own CD player or MP3 player. This is one of the reasons I'm returning it.

About this comment; "CD's sound decent but near as good as a system meant to play them"...is there a device I might purchase to play CDs on this system so that they sound great...not just decent?

You must get the one marked "DVD". The slots are too narrow for anything but CDs. Hope this helps.

It is a single CD player. That would make it better for multiple CDs but it only holds one.

No, it plays only CDs, but it plays them very well. I would highly recommend this!

I don't actually know but I think you need to just buy a turntable and amplifier and hook a CD player to your setup. I'm a granny too, but I think this is more state-of-the-art as it has an Ipod dock. I think you can find a better system for your needs.

I would also agree the Sony STRDH130 2-channel receiver would be a good choice to use with the CD player you mentioned. I just recently purchased one and its absolutely fine to get the job done.

I have mine hooked up to a 20 year old boom box that has excellent speakers. I am very pleased with this cd player. Hope this answers your question. :)

No there isn't. CD player just barely fits inside. There is no room for ANYTHING else.

not there i know so far, now cd's are with all due respect,history, unless the performer is a mid/low one class type, all is now about mp3 or usb memories, ipods, and that why i guess deWalt or other reputable cordless power tools manufacturers are not giving the cd playing choice on the job site radios they offer, sorry but that is the way progress runs this days...
