Most cheap ones lack a display unless you link it to your telly, but not an issue if you play discs all the way through. Loads of people have used these types of machine as transports with no issues whatsoever and it's been said that modern CD players have cobbled DVD drives in them anyway as few suppliers make CD only drives now...
This is what gets up my back with the CD/DVD sets where the bonus material is on the DVD disc. Why do these idiots think people use a DVD player in their system.Like you say dave they are useless for the job :roll:

Here!!...missed DSJR's post, nothing clunky at all from my fave CD/DVD player of all time,Toshiba SD900e
the transport is exceptional, i've had it nigh on 10years and whoever before that,
super smooth and never missed a beat and read anything, that mech s a work of art,
unlike a HiFi+ flavour Marantz that i bought to see what i was missing,
mech was pants flimsy compared to the Tosh and had trouble reading some disc which the Tosh sailed through,
Marantz was showing the door.

I have a Sony 'S725D' Which was an expensive DVD/CD/VIDEO CD machine with 24/96 DAC stuffed full of flashy caps [Elna Silmics] as standard. outdated due to having no HDMI, however its useless to me without being connected to the TV.

I've had the lid of this thing but i'm no techy regarding components,
all i could see was beautifully made and clad to the hilt in copper,
seemingly it was Tosh's top end player in 1993 costing £1300 or some such,
keep repeating this, best £80.00 i spent. :guiness;

P.S. apart from the Maratnz, i also bought a HiFi+ component of the year,
Philips 963sa if i remember right, that didn't hold a candle to the Tosh either and was shown the door too,
flimsy PC tray, failed to read some discs and was 'bright'.
