:Easy to manage and outfitted with a nice array of features, the Pioneer PD-M426 CD changer stores up to six CDs at once in its removable magazine, keeping the music flowing for hours. A magazine CD changer is ideal for listeners who like to organize their music by theme or artist. All they need to do is remove one magazine and insert another whenever they want to enjoy a different genre or set of CDs (each additional magazine is sold separately). lt's a great way to downshift from upbeat dance tunes to mellow trance music while hosting a party, or to listen to a favorite artist's entire catalogue while cleaning the house.
The audio sounds smooth and precise thanks to the 1-bit digital-to-analog converter and the low-noise, low-loss laser pickup. Among the playback functions are 32-track programming, which lets the listener create a custom soundtrack (the programmed tracks even stay in the memory after the unit shuts off); random play (one or all discs); and five unique repeat modes. An added convenience derives from the Delete Program Playback function, which lets listeners delete tracks or discs that they don't want to play without removing the CDs from the magazine.
Additional features include Hi-Lite Scan, which plays roughly 1O seconds from the first track on either one or all the discs; timer playback when connected to an external timer unit; a programmable pause function (useful when recording onto a cassette); a full-function remote control; and system remote in/out jacks. The remote jacks let users connect the CD changer to a compatible Pioneer receiver, and then control the changer using the receiver's remote.
The PD-M426 measures 16.56 by 4.12 by 11.56 inches (W x H x D) and carries a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

Exactly what l needed
l needed a multiple CD changer that would fit into a relatively small space. This fits the spot and works well -- random playing of six CD's.

l had a similar Pioneer magazine type CD player way back in the early 9Os. This one is so similar l have to wonder if Pioneer has upgrade their old model at all. While it works well to play CDs, it lacks basic features that l thought were standard on CD players now. You cannot play a certain track directly. The unit does not accept number inputs even off of a Pioneer receiver remote. So you can't jump to track 5 instantly, you have to use the |<< and >>| keys to change the track. The unit also doesn't remember the track # and position that was last playing when you shut it off, a useful feature of my last CD player. About the only thing really nice about this model is the dimensions. The magazine design fits in my cabinet where the carousel type players are too deep.

Pathetic.
Since 1989 l've put many thousands of hours of play time on a Pioneer Elite PD-M91O 6-Disc Magazine CD player. The unit is a true workhorse. Alas, it is now beginning to show its age. l looked around for a replacement and headed straight back to Pioneer. Big mistake. The PD-M426 is now Pioneer's only 6-pack player, and it's anything but Elite. Everything about it shouts cheapness. lt does not offer T0S-link digital output, only RCA jacks. lt does not come with a Single-Disc magazine, only the 6-pack, which makes playing a single disc very inconvenient. Programability is all but completely lacking. The 91O had these features 2O years ago. Where have they gone?
The unit l received suffered the same defect as many others reviewed here. Something immediately began to go wrong with the laser pickup. lt couldn't seem to "see" the first two or three tracks of brand new commercial CDs and output distortion, static and helicopter noises instead of music. lt couldn't play CD-R discs at all, though the old PD-M91O plays them just fine. Lucky for me this all developed during Vann's post-delivery trial period. The good folks there cheerfully sent me a return shipping label, took the unit back, and refunded all of my money. They would like to send me another PD-M426, but that's not happening. Seems they can no longer get that model from Pioneer. l just told my local repair shop l will do almost anything to keep the old unit "alive." They tell me all it needs is a simple clean and lube job and it's good to go.
Sad to say, Pioneer was once the industry leader for all forms of disc players. Now they have little to offer. l guess this is just another indication that the era of the Compact Disc really is coming to an end.
