Great way to play MP3s on older stereo system
I purchased this unit because it has RCA Output Jacks that can directly connect to my older stereo unit to play MP3s without using a TV. Thankfully, I registered the warranty as suggested by the seller before using the player. When I tried the unit received from Amazon, it was defective as the first disc used got scratched. I contacted the seller and their service is excellent as I promptly received a replacement unit shipped in a box with padding. This unit works great, but unfortunately it has a problem reading a closed CD-R filled with MP3s. That is, over 200 tracks and up to 699 MB of data. It sees my discs as what appears to be an overfilled audio CD. The company is aware of the problem and has told me that they are working on an update. Meanwhile, they suggested playing the MP3s on a USB device and this works very well – maybe even better than messing with CDs! I’ve been using digital cameras since they first came out, so I have a collection of small capacity Compact Flash cards (with USB reader), SD cards (with USB reader), as well as some Flash Drives. They all work great in the Electcom’s USB port! I was short only 5 cards to copy all of my MP3 CD collection, so I purchased an “INDMEM 5 Pack SD Card 2GB Class 4 Flash Memory Card” from Amazon and I’ll review that on its page. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B58Z6YKL I also decided to buy a new SD card reader from Amazon, the “Transcend RDF5 USB3.1 Type-A SD Card Reader for Laptop/Windows/PC/Computer, 2 in 1 Dual Slot Memory/Micro SD Card Reader” and I’ll review that on its page. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009D79VH4 The included picture shows the complete setup. UPDATE: Customer service has been excellent and they developed a firmware upgrade that shows you what track is playing on the player's digital display - no TV is required! This is really useful when you have over 200 tracks of instrumental music. The track number shows when a song starts and then every 30 seconds while playing. Write down the last track number before shutting down and then use the remote's number keys to start back up at the same spot!
