Feature:
I wish it had a way to display the words of a Karaoke disc onto a TV screen, as Numark misleads one to believe the unit does in the instruction manual, under the video heading. Check it out yourself. Download the instruction manual.
Quality:
I've had mine in the shop once, got it back...same problem reared its ugly head, sent it back in for replacement. Numark replaced it with a "B" stock item (someone else's problem that had been shipped back to the company). Immediately the unit hung up. Had to shut it down and turn it back on to get it to operate. Now, I have to fiddle with the song in order to get any song lyrics to come up on the screen (Had to buy a separate video decoder to make the unit be able to display graphics). That is, after the song is selected one must back the unit up to the previous song, then go to the song one wants to display on the screen. Then the song will show up. Really does slow down a show for a KJ.
Value:
Not worth all the trouble that one receives in trying to get the unit to do what it was advertised to be capable of doing.
Desirability:
It does look nice. But so does a painting in a gallery and the painting isn't near the headache the Numark CDN90 is.
Sound:
The left channel on my unit sporadically has a loud buzz that is annoying to the audience as well as to myself. During this noise the cd mechanism is stuck even though the controls say the cd is playing. I would recommend that Numark monitor the manufacturing of their products more closely so that this type of problem can be eliminated.
Support:
I am currently dealing with Numark and was promised an upgrade to a CDN95 because of all the trouble I've been having with the units (they admit they're all factory defects), however, there was a reversal on that decision because it cost more, even though it was common knowledge at the time of the promise being made.
Overall:
I did research and this product looked like the Cadillac of all commercial, professional cd players. Unfortunately, I have yet to receive one that I can say isn't defective. I think that if I had one that wasn't defective and did as was advertsed it would be a great product. I wish that I knew that the company reps really had very little power to make decisions that could fix problems. I would have steered clear of the company. The reps ARE nice though.
