    i have a pair of these AA cdi 500mp3. and a numark mixer. its a good stuff nice sounds cool effects and accurate scratching. i love this stuff very much coz i know how to cure this lolz ... i used it every day, sometimes in parties and club. i have this stuff last oct. 2006, then i've notice some problem with this stuff, first the groundings sometimes it change and it will not work properly. avoid moisture & check the groundings guys. unit must have earth.... second problem with the cd's, it goes in and out in the unit, how 2 fix this? easy, just open and clean the box of the lens in left corner there's a small black rubber orings change it or clean it. 100% it will avoid rejecting the cd every time you put it in (for AA cdi 500mp3) third if you use burn cd's specially mp3's make sure you use a high quality cd's and burner to avoid stuck up, and if you think your unit have trouble in searching or reading disc. eject it at once it may damage the memory that can cause stuck up. the longest acces time is 6 sec. check the manual guys... so now i dnt have any problem in my stuff after i do my simple maintenance, hope you learn something frm me!

      Comments about American Audio CDI-500 MP3 Table Top CD Player:

      These cd players are not worth [$]. Poor build quality and construction. These are great for djs who don't spin alot. Everyday use of these things is a bad idea. This would make a great product if they fix all the bugs. And these cd players DO NOT work with serato well...i suggest using pioneers cdj or denon.

          The only thing is that the display screen is sometimes hard to read depending on what angle you're at, and thats being compared to the original CDI 500.
