Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First let me say that many will probably be happy with this machine and will not notice the flaw I am about to mention that will ultimately cause me to return this unit (purchased here at Amazon by the way...) The thing is beautiful and classy. It is just the type of look I wanted for my desk here at work. The problem is CD playback. I am a radio DJ, and most of the music I play are playbacks of radio programs, live concert recordings, etc. This unit for whatever reason, puts a space between every track you listen to, without regard for whether there should be one or not. I create many of my discs on CDR from my own radio programs. These discs are created so as not to have any space between the tracks, and they play fine everywhere else that I play them. It is an irritation that I cannot live with. The problem is actually not only with CDRs, or even with live or 'no-space-between' recordings. It extends to commercially produced CDs. At this moment I am listening to a store bought audio CD on the unit through my professional SONY MDR-V6 headphones. The player inserts an irritating and audible cut-out between every track of this studio album. I hope Philips considers this problem worthy of a recall, because I enjoy Philips products and this is just unacceptable. I have already sent my opinion to them this morning... It really could be such a nice unit.
