Our puppet ministry had high hopes when we bought this unit, but what a disappointment. We had problems from day 1. It continually freezes, and the only way to get it to work is to restart. This is quite embarressing when you are in the middle of a program. We sent it back to Numark, but they told us they couldn't duplicate the freezs up. This piece of equipment is very unreliable.

cannot depend on since purchase will return ( apparently the manufacturer has a problem) others have experienced the same problem , lost files, freeze up ect. I'm a production company and i don't have time for this kind of S--- #%$!^&&*()) KNOW WHAT I MEAN YOU SPEND A THOUSAND DOLLARS ON SOMTHING +":>?)(*&^$#@!.. NUF SAID

Searching for songs is very easy and faster then seraching for CD's
If the system works properly you can leave your CD's home
I think that if the problem that I am having is corrected the system is a great idea for DJ's who do not feel comfortable using a labtop system.

When you have hard drive problems like screens freezing up there are no solutions written in the user guide.

As a moblie DJ I was very excited when I purchased the HDCD 1 from Pro Sound and Stage Lighting. I was able to load the software and drag songs to the harddrive with no problems at all. Putting songs in specific catagories
was also very easy. After downloading 1800 songs I decided to take it along at my next wedding. I plugged in the keyboard and began to search for songs using only a few letters.Every song with those letters in it came up. i was able to find the song I wanted and it was loaded in seconds. Within the first 30 minutes I felt very comfortable using the HDCD1. It was amazing. After using it for approx. 4 weddings I encountered my first problem. After searcing for and loading a song to be played I hit the play button and the song would not play. The screen went into "freeze mode" and I was forced to turn off the player and turn it back on. It happened again at the next 3 weddings I did which is unacceptable if you are a bride. I sent the unit back to Numark. They sent me a brand new one and I had the same problem again. I just mailed back the HDCD! again
