Works well and sounds great! Cleaned inside and out and laser lens was cleaned and secured. Comes with one 6 disc magazine. No remote included but you can find one online or use a universal remote if needed.
Pioneer 5-disc changers from their classic era hold a solid rep as reliable workhorses for casual hi-fi setups, spinning CDs with decent build quality and that familiar laser-loading mechanism—nothing audiophile-grade, but they get the job done without fuss.
At USD65, this one's a mild bargain against recent comps, where the median used price sits at USD71 (25th percentile USD61, 75th USD248); it's squarely in the lower range for functional units. Before biting, verify the laser assembly tracks smoothly—common wear point after 20+ years—and test all five trays for jamming. Insist on the original remote and manual, as replacements are scarce.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Pioneer traces its roots to 1937 in Tokyo, Japan, when founder Nozomu Matsumoto, inspired by the thrill of imported hi-fi speakers, developed the A-8 dynamic speaker and launched a radio and speaker repair shop. The business formalized as Fukuin Shokai Denki Seisakusho in 1938, evolving into Pioneer Corporation and embodying Matsumoto's philosophy of "Move the Heart and Touch the Soul" through audio innovation.
The brand excels across diverse hi-fi categories, pioneering Japan's first headphones in 1960 with the SE-1 and the world's first component-based stereo system in 1965 via the PSC-5A. Pioneer's portfolio spans amplifiers, speakers, turntables, and DACs, alongside landmark car audio advancements like the 1975 Supertuner-equipped stereo and the 1986 in-car CD player, blending home and automotive excellence.
Today, Pioneer holds a commanding mid-to-high-tier position in the market, revered for reliable, performance-driven gear that balances premium quality with accessibility. Its vintage components attract collectors, while current offerings appeal to discerning buyers seeking robust, innovative sound reproduction without boutique excess.
