Was working flawlessly until it wasn't. Listening to music last Christmas and it made a clunk at the end of a CD. I was able to eject one CD, and it made another clunk when trying to load another one that was already in the carousel. Couldn't play or eject after that. I don't work on electronics, but I suspect the magnetic arm that lifts CDs from the carousel is not working. Again, it worked without a problem since I bought it; there were no warning signs of it malfunctioning.
No remote.
