This is a very nice sounding CD changer which features Carver's novel Time Lens Circuit which provides it's own sonic benefits. The display light has just been changed and this has been completely checked out and plays perfectly even with CD-R's. I don't have a remote, but do see them regularly on eBay for a reasonable price. I could go on, but the Carver name speaks for itself and this fine player is no exception. Buyer pays actual shipping cost. Don't miss out!
