New CD players/changers are hard to find. (go into Best Buy and you'll be lucky to find one model). But with great options like this Yamaha available you dont need to look to hard to get a great one at a reasonable price. It styling is classic (aluminum front, not plastic), a changer drawer that ejects all the way out (unlike the Sonys) so you have access to all the slots, you can exchange the CDs while one is playing and lot of other functions. I use the digital optical out and the sound is excellent! This is the predecessor to the current Yamaha CD changer CD-C600 which has the same specs (slightly upgraded front). Save the money and pick one of these up for half the price you wont be disappointed.

Shipped very promptly, well packed, exactly as described, and works fine! Great price included shipping. This replaced the same model in my system which developed issues. So i had the remote and the missing foot pad. Very happy with the find!

I matched this Yamaha CD player to my Yamaha amplifier and the sound is amazing. It is easy to use out of the box and comes ready to go. It has advanced features but is easy to just hook it up with the RCA cables, stick in a disc and hit play.

This five disc carousel CD player, (Yamaha CDC-697) sounds good. Clear and smooth. The ergonomics of it leave something to be desired. When you open the tray to insert or remove discs it hides the push button controls from view. In other words, the push buttons on the front panel are below the tray that holds the CDs. So when the tray is "out" you can't see the controls. Another issue is the controls themselves. Tiny black buttons on a black background labeled with tiny, difficult to read lettering make the unit inconvenient to operate.
