How stable is the cd player on a moving boat, I understand when your in pounding seas but in normal conditions does it skip?

Plays fine in my boat, but now I mostly use a USB flash drive. I use a USB cable extension so the flash drive doesn't bounce in the unit, hoping that less weight would not damage the connection in the unit. If that connection has a problem, it's back to the CD and carrying the CDs.

I have taken it to the Pacific quiet a few times and it handled quiet well,even the water seemed rather choppy. It's pretty stable.

It's supposed to play both CD and MP3 discs. But whether it's a CD or an MP3 disc in the player, the playback often makes huge skips. Often when a disc is playing, the readback reports "no disc". There seems to be no rhyme or reason. I've been playing with it for several weeks to try to find some consistency. It does its skip-to-my-loo routine on discs that played well and all the way through previously and then plays the same disc a few days later without skipping. Ditto brand new discs. Very aggravating! I should have sent it back.

Has not been a problem. The unit is heavy enough and has a low center of gravity and seems stable. I use it in a canoe.

I have them mounted in the cockpit of my sailboat . . . they play & sound well . . . consistent with their size , they don't have a heavy mid or low response . . . BUT , they do NOT "break up" when driven hard . . .

Ours works fine; did read before we bought it, however, that other folks had issues with CD player

I've ridden it in many heavy rains without trouble. Once I did not close the USB port and rode in rain, it got wet inside and stopped working properly. I had to wait for it to dry out and do a reset as instructed by customer service, it worked again after doing that.

As noted it's active. Downside is it will not take input from my receiver so I have to run everything via Bluetooth, TV or Ipod Dock. No Go for CD play. Sounds very good but sounds too directional when your in front of it. Ok for TV and movies. For music play sounds better if your anywhere BUT in front of it.

I see you have this in your Van for a year.. Tell me how you like it now?? Does it skip when you hit a bump when using the DVDplayer??Thanks..KH

A tiny bit. It's not rock solid if thats what you mean. It depends on the weight of your device and the CD slot in your dash/player. I like mine.

Exactly the CD player is what I meant to say, thanks. I like to listen to audio books but sometimes after a couple of hours of listening or if I leave it paused for to long it shuts off and feels quite warm to the touch. :(

Hi...it does seem a bit pricey...but we feel the Wave System is one of the best buys we have made. It fits anywhere and the sound is amazing. I play CD's all the time and have had no trouble at all. I think you would really enjoy it.

I haven't used this on a boat, but I can tell you it has substantial sound. Theirs 2 speakers up front and what seems like a mini sub on the top. You might want something bigger though if your wanting it to entertain the whole boat. If its mounted next to the helm for your entertainment, it would be good.

I would say it's very very splash resistant. Ive owned many marine stereos but this one works flawlessly, even after the 4th year in the open ocean going to block island. ive gotten it rained on and splashed with seawater, but it still plays flawlessly.

NO CD player will give you a "seamless" stream of music when changing discs .. but I'm sure you know that. I bought this Yamaha 697-BL Carousel-Type Changer a couple of years back, and it's the VERY BEST player I've ever owned! I've had several different manufacturer's models over the years and decided I wanted another carousel-type player .. this was the best decision I've made yet! MANY features, ease of use, dependable .. what more do you need?

Mine doesn't skip, but I usually sit to listen to lesson cd's or use the device right before bedtime. If I need to get up and move around, I haven't had any concerns. It plays without interruption.

Agree with the previous comment with the one exception - mine had nonworking CD player so I returned it. Purchased similar but a little more expensive SONY.
