Amazon.co.uk Review
The Dioneer DCP-100 digital audio/CD player combines MP3 and WMA compatibility with a portable CD player and a host of features including 12-hour continuous playback and a programmable playlist of up to 999 tracks to deliver song after song after song.
On the DCP-100 you'll find all the standard CD player features such as repeat, skip, previous track as well as some new ones such as the ability to memorise the last 12 CDs inserted into it and instant playback from where you left off. All of the options and features are selected via the small buttons seated in the lid of the player. Using the buttons to scroll through the menu system can be quite trying at times as it's quite difficult to know whether or not you've selected an option. The backlit 4-line graphical LCD screen is where everything from sound mode, current and next track information to volume level and menu options is displayed.
The DCP-100 is well built and the anti-shock system has no trouble keeping up with the music--as we found out when it repeatedly fell off the desk. The supplied rechargeable batteries will only deliver a maximum playback time of six hours, but whack in a pair of "AA" type alkaline batteries and you'll get up to 12 hours of continuous music.
For those wanting the best of both worlds, the Dioneer DCP-100 is a very good MP3/WMA CD player packed full of features. The unit is supplied with a handy remote control that goes between the unit and the supplied in-ear earphones, 2x "AA" type NiMH rechargeable batteries and a charger. The small fiddly buttons may be a bit troublesome for those with big fingers, but they don't detract from the players' ability to deliver great sounding audio. --Martin Snelling
