What to check before buying used
The optical reading assembly is the element to check first on this type of unit: verify that disc playback remains stable, without skipping or freezing, including on burned CDs. The tray also deserves a check of its opening and closing mechanism, which can become misaligned with use. Testing with several types of discs and via the USB input helps ensure the player is working correctly overall.
