Query: PLEASE BELIEVE THE 1 STAR REVIEWS

This item was purchased as a last minute Christmas gift to accompany a host of new CDs my child received for the Holiday. This player never worked out of the box after multiple attempts with numerous brand new CDs. All of the troubleshooting steps were followed and none of them helped. I was highly disappointed because I, like many others, chose to disregard the negative reviews. Folks, $50 is too much money to spend on this defective product. It has lots of potential and is a wonderful concept, but cannot overcome manufacturing flaws. I will pursue a refund through Amazon, but will buy another brand. If you do not like throwing money away, I would suggest that you look at other brands before opening your wallet.
