Manufacturer description
The CDC-585 is a carousel-type changer with 5-disc capacity. It features Yamaha's patented PlayXchange that permits four discs to be replaced while the fifth is playing. This changer can play your self-recorded compilation CDs as well as discs bought in the store. For easy and quick access, up to 40 tracks on any combination of discs can be programmed into the CDC-585's memory. Two pairs of Yamaha's high-precision single-bit digital-to-analog converters provide accurate conversion from the digital domain to analog to assure a natural sound quality. Only the music will be heard, thanks to Yamaha's newly designed super silent mechanism. 10-key direct access allows you to access each track at the touch of a button on the front panel or the remote keypad. The model can display text, such as lyrics and other information, embedded in some CDs. The easy-to-read display shows total disc time, elapsed time on the track, total remaining time, and remaining track time. Illumination can be dimmed or brightened to appropriate room levels. Style has not been left out. The CDC-585 features Yamaha's new contoured front panel. Synchro start capability allows one-touch recording from the remote control. Synchro Start automatically puts a Yamaha cassette deck in the record mode before it begins to play the CD selections.User opinions

Not great.
Pros: Yamaha family product
Cons: Does NOT play mp3s!!!
Review: With the technology available today, it is ridiculous that this CD player will not play mp3s. I should have checked before purchase. Luckily, the store had a 14 day return policy on electronics and I was able to get a refund.
