| Robin, I have a Pioneer CD player, and they come with the interconnect
cable to attach it to a Pioneer amp/receiver, so I suspect that
you have to buy the Pioneer CD player to use your present remote.
The good news is, the Pioneer CD player works great. the random
play doesn't repeat tracks, and I like using the 6 pack cartridge.

| If the player has its own IR (Ifra Red) pick-up then the
interconnecting cable is not needed (I think the PDM500 has one
and the PDM400 does not). Even with its own pick-up though, in
general remotes made by one manufacture will only work with products
made by them (unless it is specifically called a "Universal" remote).
The only exception to this is "manufactures" whos products are actually
made by the same mother company. For example, Mashushita (sp?)
makes the brands: Pioneer, Magnovox, GE (others?), and the remotes
for each of these Brands will work together.
BTW - Yamaha and Pioneer are not (as far as I know :-) made by the
same company.

| Thank you for the quick replies!!!
Wayne,
Which model Pioneer CD player do you have? From other notes in
this conference I have found there are PDM600 and PDM700 but Lechmere
only had PDM400 and PDM500.. I just went to Tweeter(now called Cookie)
and they don't have any multi-disk players in my price range. Do
you know of any stores that carry Pioneer other than Lechmere?
Thanks again..

| I have last years model PD M40, which I believe is the
equivelant of the PD M400, no remote. I bought it a year
ago, believe it or not, at Sears.

Try looking at Service Merchandise. They frequently have CD players
on sale.

| Re: 1352.1
I also have a Pioneer CD, 6 pack cartridge player. I use Random Play
all the time and love it but what is shuffle play? Can we do that with
the Pioneer 6 pack player?
Is is the same as random? I guess I'm stupid.

Shuffle play is Sony's version of random play. It's distinguishing
feature is that it doesn't remember which tracks it has already
played and is prone to repeat tracks frequently after a majority
of the selections have been played.

| Re: .7, .8
The behavior noted apparently only applies to certain Sony
carousel-model CD changers (CDP-C50, CDP-C70 and CDP-C7ESD), according
to reports elsewhere in this conference. The complaint is that
these players randomly select a disc, then randomly select a track,
without remembering what they have played before. In the single-disc
players, this behavior is not present.

The shuffle works great even on the carousel models, when only playing
*1* disk (same as a single-disc player). In that mode you can watch
the remainig track numbers slowly disappear as they are played.
Only SONY's *multi-disc* shuffle is brain-dead.
