Anybody use either the Pioneer 6-disk or 12-disk changer with their Z1/Z2 or D-series NAV units???

 

I am thinking of getting the 12-disk when I either buy a Z2 or D3...

 

Specifically, I was interested to know how browsing 6 or 12 disks is accomplished via the touchscreen...

 

Anybody have any photos of the M-CD screen???

 

Also, does anybody have any reviews/comments on the Pioneer CD changers in general??? Quality, build, etc...

 

Thanks,

Mark

why would you waste your money on a changer? take the money and buy an ipod and have all your cd's all the time instead of 6 or 12

First off, buying a changer with a Z2 is a horrible idea since you can store a couple thousand songs on the built-in hard drive. As for the changers themselves, Pioneer changers are the same quality as everyone elses, except they don't play mp3s. They realized five years ago that changers were a dying product and haven't redesigned since--so they keep releasing the same ones year after year. Operation is simple, you have up and down arrows to go from disk to disk, and left and right arrows to go from track to track

Thanks...

 

So when you use the arrows to go from disk to disk, does the changer automatically start trying to load the next disk when you hit the arrow key???

 

I can't imagine this is very good if the changer tries to load 5 different disks when you just want to go from disk 1 to disk 6...

 

Or, does it wait a couple seconds till you have stopped pushing the arrow keys???

It starts to load each disk. No big deal
