What the manual says and how the unit reacts are worlds apart. You can't shut it down without pulling the plug. The display screen feature is rediculous and one can't even set the clock with the instx provided. The sound is good but all the glitz and karoake-style stuff is for the birds. I wanted an easy to play 5-cd changer that repeats the 5-cds over and over again.. What I got was soundbites and hype.
