 "Sounds and looks great, but occasionally eats CDs" | 2008-08-12 |

I bought a Tivoli Two and this CD player together, and they are truly beautiful little beasts, both in appearance and in sound quality. The Tivoli Two has performed flawlessly, but after a few months, the CD player developed a nasty habit of eating CDs at unpredictable intervals (turning the player off, turning it on its head, turning it back on and pushing Eject is usually successful after three or four tries). If I were a sensible person, I would send it in for repair--it's otherwise a marvelous set and well worth it.

 "Tivoli Model CD Problems" | 2007-12-29 |
| - Reviewed By mountainman100 |
| My Model CD started to have problems after one year of light use. Initially the display would lose segments and then would require a power-down to restore. This problem got worse with time. After less than 2 years of use, the dosplay has now failed completely and the player rejects all disks from any manufacturer. It was never a great sounding player, but having invested in several other Tivoli Audio components, I had no alternative but to live with their extremely expensive single disk unit. Obviously my unit is out of warranty and I am out of luck, but I would sure hope that this company (which is always boasting of it's audiophile roots) would help it's loyal customers out of this situation. |

| Sound quality is nice and the cabinetry is well designed; however, the remote lacks a few essential features as well as the LCD on the CD player leaves room for improvement. The remote does not have the ability to power on and off the CD player making it only somewhat helpful in remotely adjusting your CD listening, but not fully featured. Another disadvantage is that the LCD screen is not as clear as you would want and for a dim room the angle of clear viewing is slim at best. The best way to get this product is in a bundle... Don't misunderstand the review though, this is a nice product, but don't think that there are not a few shortcomings. |

| My brother and I were looking to replace our mother's broken CD player. We wanted something that looked and sounded good and that was also easy to use. Finding something with the last attribute, simplicity of use, without giving up the first two attributes was the hard part. The Tivoli CD player was ideal: One CD only, play-pause-stop, forward-back, that's it, and that is all that is necessary - and it is very attractive and sounds great. It was the perfect gift - she loves it. |

| First I bought the model one radio and then I bought the cd player. Good stuff however I don't like the multiple box concept. For the same money I could have bought a Bose Wave. |

| My wife and I had been looking for over a year for a simple sound system to install in our new dining room/library on a very narrow (8 inches deep) built-in shelf. None of the micro systems were small enough and most looked like they'd be at home in a sci-fi horror flick. Not only is this unit attractive but it's not much deeper than a CD. The controls are easy to use and with the remote we can control the unit from the dining table. |

I received the Tivoli Model CD Player as a Christmas gift to add to my Tivoli Satellite (Sirius) radio. I also own the extra Tivoli speaker which makes the system truly stereo. The CD player attached easily and was working in a matter of minutes. Overall, the controls are simple and easy to use. I especially like using the remote control since it's convenient and easy to read. The sound from this system is amazing. The clarity, depth and richness of sound from this little system is worth every penny. And, it's beautiful to look at. I have the system in my office and often receive compliments on its appearance. If you're looking for a compact, attractive, easy to assemble and use system, the Tivoli is perfect for you.

| I am using it with a plug in mini plug to the pod on a Bose Computer Sound System. It works beautifully.(Thanks Amazon for the upgraded shipping.) This unit's heft shows heritage of design along the lines of expensive car deluxe CD players. Size is perfect and sits inconspicuously on my small bookcase. The fluorescent display is great,no way it could be improved. The player loads and plays the disk automatically.Slick. The remote is a coup d'etat of just the right size and easy to read symbols. Important, else you would be hard pressed to see and fumble for the function keys on the unit if you are not eagle eyed.(This is an industry design thing that aint never going to go way) Summary: I think Tivoli put their money and value in this one. And recommend it,even if you don't use it w the Tivoli radio. The 12 Volt option is one I may explore. That would mean getting a back seat amp to the rear of my VW wagen. But it remains possible,so that is a design plus for this company. Hats off to Tivoli, my garden spot for small discrete audio gear...with minimum of glitz and faddishness. GS |

| Having come across the three preceding reviews, I feel obliged to correct the negative impression they leave. I bought one of the first Model CDs to be made, and it had a design problem. It didn't play all CDs and the drive mechanism was flaky. But it SOUNDED terrific - high resolution and warm, balanced sound - one of the best digital/analog converters I've ever heard. I contacted the company immediately and learned that they were having problems with many units and that they were already in the process of fixing the design problem. They said that they could send a replacement immediately, but I opted to wait until they knew they had fixed the problem. At that time, they shipped me a new unit and allowed me to return the old one in the same packing materials. It was a pain to wait for, but well worth it. This is a simple, "bare-bones" CD player that is perfectly matched to the Model One. The design problem was part hardware and part software, and it is completely fixed. What's amazing is how good the music sounds. If that's what you're looking for, you'd be foolish to ignore this CD player because of the other reviews. They are not wrong, but collectively they leave the wrong impression about this CD player. For the price, I doubt you can find any CD player that sounds this good. |
