For $5.95, who cares if it worked - you should've bought it out of curiosity.
You need the exercise.
This Audioholics! What does need have to do with anything!?
And no, I don't want or need it...
Normally I don't pay any attention to the things you suggest and now I know why.
I walked my fat @ss back up there with connectors, adapters and an extension cord in tow to wire that thing up and see if it played. It took a minute to open and then it closed up right away. It was pretty cool though because the whole face opened up and it was a 3 CD player. I got it to open and stay open on my second try.
Anyway I had it hooked up to a Kenwood mini system and some stupid little speakers but after loading it with 3 CD's and hitting play (oh yeah, the tray that holds the CD's rises, rotates and then sinks back down into position - too cool) Jose Carreras' voice starts singing
Mille Cherubini. I got an instant woody ... but when I pressed the button for it to skip to the next disc it refused to play another note. I tried everything I could think of but it was a complete fail. NAD sucks.
Instead I bought Carreras-Domingo-Pavarotti CD and a handful of albums including this:
I had fun.
