2 questions about this. Will it play CD-RW's and does it have speaker outputs to play cds without a receiver?

You must have a receiver and speakers. This Cd changer just holds, shuffles or plays whatever you program it to.

You MUST have a receiver to play it, & I don't know what an RW is...The player is GREAT.....Luv It....I bought a SONY receiver from Amazon at a Great Price also.......

Yes it will play CD-RW's and yes you will need a receiver this is not a stand alone unit it is meant to be part of a complete audio system.

No, I have it hooked up to speakers. I don't see why it wouldn't play the CD R Ws. I haven't, but I think it could.

I don'really know about the formatting question. It plays some home made cd's but not others. It doesn't have an amp and will require a Receiver or external amp.

We have only played original CD's and it doesn't come with speakers. But it is great.

It has played everything I've put in it...commercial and copies. I does not have speakers or an amp.

If you want speakers, you can (prolly) just hook this to your television, but the sound quality wouldn't be as good. If you want this CD player to sound like it oughtta, you need a receiver. You also might need speaker wire and something to plug the speaker wire into the receiver with. Unless the receiver and/or speakers already have those things...

Yes, it plays cd's....I am listening to a cd now as I am typing this.......you have the option of just playing a cd or importing it onto your computer. I am very pleased with this item!

I received this "non-answer" from Pioneer today:Thank you for contacting Pioneer Electronics, Inc.The unit supports playback of commercially made CD-Audio discs. Playback of CD-R is not guaranteed.Thank You, RockyCustomer Service RepresentativeI'm going to take a chance and order it anyway. I have two of the PD-F1009 units (the 301 capacity units) and have had no problems. This PD-F407 is to be a present for my son. I'll get back with the results.

I have it hooked up to my Sony audio/video/component tuner. It plays CDs beautifully.

More than enough it's a Five Channel AV Reciever. CD Hookup is straight Foward as with any Receiver. http://www.yamaha.com/yec/products/productdetail.html?CNTID=567576

I have respoded to this question twice before. I don't know because I only use it to play cd's. Don't ask me again

Yes, it does have an output that could be used for a CD player, in fact two outputs. The amp volume control is very limited. I would not recommend this product.

About this comment; "CD's sound decent but near as good as a system meant to play them"...is there a device I might purchase to play CDs on this system so that they sound great...not just decent?

Yes, it plays CD's. It has great sound! We are very happy with the quality & sound of this radio!

Plays CD, CDR and at least Sony brand CDRW without problems. You do need a TV connected to change the output level of the player, but the TV connection is not needed after this.

Yes, this CD player requires a receiver or integrated amp to amplify the signal. You need a stereo amp/receiver.

You will need to connect the output of the 5-disc player to a separate amplifier or receiver module input to hear the music. The 5-disc player does not have the ability to attach speakers directly to the unit itself. Amazon has a great selection of receivers in all price ranges that will suit your needs perfectly.

With your CD player, yes. With your receiver, no. It is an active sound bar designed to connect directly to your TV ( it does not require or work with a receiver). You can plug it into your TV and still plug your CD player into it as well. If you're looking for a solution that will work with your receiver the Atlantic Technology FS 7.1 is your best bet.

I don't really get the question, It's not a cd player, it is an amplifier, and it only takes analog signal. So whatever source/transport type you have the signal comming out of it has to be analog fot the Marantzto play it.

This stereo does not play cd's. It is a digital tuner with a port for an SD card. It also has a USB port and an input for MP3 players or phones. Primarily it is an indash MP3 player

No Joy, you don't HAVE to buy speakers for this.. but if you want to listen to the audio output you'll either need headphones or speakers + speaker cable + an amplifier.If you only want to 'rip' CDs to USB devices, you don't need either but you won't hear anything.
