[QUOTE="Minburn, post: 5658645, member: 590655"] For the last half a year or so I've been using both a CD-UB100 on an Pioneer Premiere 800 and the USB connection through the back of a Premiere 780BT. The CD-UB100 does not play WAV. That I don't like. Have reasonable mp3's on a WD 160 GB external that I play through that unit. While it can read (have about 60 CD's on it; a minute at startup before it will play) it is most annoying in that it doesn't work all the time i.e. some times "NO DEVICE", other times "NO AUDIO". I'd guess that 75% of the time no problem. But that is quickly getting to be not good enough. Came close to putting my fist into the unit just the other week. The 780BT plays the same HDD but with WAV files. Works about 90% of the time. I'm finding the biggest problems after shutting down the car then starting up; more so short durations off then back on. If I shut off for the night, no problems starting up in the a.m. and reading the drives. I don't know why no 100% performance with either. The WD HDD requires minimal (and within spec) current that the head units will provide. Of note: 16GB or 32GB thumbdrives . . . no problems and almost instantaneous read (for either mps or wav depending upon the head unit). Thinking of dumping the 800 because of the issue. As well, not happy with the external USB not playing back WAV files. Looking at another of the Premiere that will allow WAV (perhaps even a dupe of the 780 as it works so well with everything else). The only thing stopping me is the excellent sound when playing CD's with that particular unit. Incredible sounding. As to what is displayed in either, I don't fuss too much with that. Some quick folder/cd ID and I pick and play. I realize both are very limited, but I don't jump about other than to put another recording to play. If anyone has any idea re: the issues with the CD-UB100, by all means open to hearing them. I've tried every conceivable sequence of actions when switching off the car and starting up. I sense it's just a finicky piece of work. So may have the 800 and CD-UB100 up for sale . . . . . . [/QUOTE]
