I've owned two used DCM-280, and I think they're good products for the price. I really like being able to load up the player with home made MP3 discs, putting it on random play and letting it play for hours and hours. It will occasionally, but very rarely, cut a song off midway, and sometimes, though rarely, repeat a song already played. The first one I owned lasted 5 or 6 years, then suddenly stopped working. Since I only paid $45 for it, and literally got hundreds of hours of use from it, I figured I got more than my money's worth. I just bought another used one, for $58, and so far it is working fine. I hope it lasts as long as the last one did. They're simple and easy to use. There is of course time between songs when shifting to another CD, and the shifting of discs is plainly audible. The sound quality is very nice as well.Read full review

I like the 5 CD's carousel wherein you could replace 1 cd while you are still playing the other cd plus the capacity to play MP3 files burned on a cd aside from playing regular store bought cd's.I decided to buy it basically because of the capability of playing MP3 CDs for my home use. What I dislike about it is that it takes a few seconds to read the MP3 cd's. Maybe I am comparing it with my other DENON DJ CD/MP3 player where you pop in a cd & you have an instant start within 0.01second.This is just for my home use so I guess I could live with it.
If you want a remote controlled unit, consider the DCM-280R model. The DCM-280 does not have the capabilities of remote control. Other than that, it works great, sounds wonderful and I got it for a bargain price on eBay. I have owned Denon receivers, turntables, and CD players and changers since the mid-1980's. I have always been pleased with them. Still use the turntable 30+ years later and just bought a second on eBay. It is a DP-45F, and I would recommend it, and if you can afford a little more, then look for a DP-47F in good working and clean condition. Denon builds some great equipment. It is not big, high wattage, heavy, '70s vintage gear like Marantz, or top of the line tube gear like McIntosh from the 50's and 60's. Both are in high demand right now and you pay a premium for them. If you want clean sound, at a good price, I recommend Denon gear from the 80's. I am not a big fan of AV receivers of any manufacture. At least not for the audiophile. They do not put out the clean watts of older gear, are complicated and tend to need service often, and they will not last 30-60 years like the vintage audio gear mentioned here.Read full review

The changer works flawlessly and looks good. You can barely tell it's been used. This brand is well-known to me in home audio products. It is good quality, in fact I also have a Denon DCM -270 changer (also purchased on ebay).

I'm real pleased w/ this CD changer. I feel the sound quality is very good. I've only owned it for a short time, but no problems at all so far. Clean understated appearance, logical control layout. No power button on remote, and a bit noisy when changing disks. Still, a decent changer at a decent price.
