If you are one of those people who like to chill in the dark to your favorite music the display is annoyingly bright.

The changer is quiet when changing CDs (rotating the carousel), and the display is readable from across the room

First, the good features; a 5 CD drawer that can be opened without stopping play, good display, easy to use remote, easy to use front buttons, a power cable that detaches from the back (a BIG help in a crowded cabinet like mine), optical digital connection, headphone jack w/volume control.
