Read the product reviews on Amazon and other consumer sites before deciding to take a chance on this player. The average reviewer seems to have had some bad luck with this unit. Can't say the same. Bought mine as a refurbished unit directly from HK about 6 months ago for under $100.00 delivered with a 1 year warranty. Figured I couldn't go wrong. Well, this "blind bet" paid off big! The changer operation is a little noisy but smooth and reliable, a bit slow but looks good. The sound is something ... Read More

I bought this partly on the reputation of the Harmon/Kardon name. I was very disappointed. Very soon after installation, the unit would hang and stop playing disks. When it did play the disks, there was a lot of mechanical noise that could be heard when standing close to the unit. It also frequently would fail to play disks that were fine on other players. I sent my unit in for a warranty replacement. The new unit displayed the very same problems within 5 minutes of turning it on. From reading ... Read More

Again, I purchased HK avr and loved it, so I purchased matching dvd and cd players. For the money you can beat it.

It took me two units(same problems you see elsewhere), three shipping charges, and a lot of patience, but I did finally get a unit that worked. However...
The rest of this is based on a "somewhat" working unit.
The unit's disc change fuction is loud. The mechanics inside sound like they are literally grinding together every single rotation. While playing at low volume the reading of the cd isn't too subtle either. I would say its similar to a skip, like some sort of turbulance. ... Read More

Our first unit(manufactured 4/06) had all the problems described in other reviews. I contacted HK's tech help via the web and within two days I had a return authorization and six days later a new unit (manufactured 5/07) that is flawless. It works exceptionally well with our new HK AVR 140 and produces the best sound I have heard from a cd player. The tuner and CD player replaced another Harman Kardon tuner and cd palyer that were 12 years old. What a difference!
I'd buy Harman Kardon again ... Read More
