barleycorn2004 from CA Member Since: Dec 2005 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 1 Day	Don't buy this! Read all the reviews! Strengths: Looks nice Weaknesses: Never worked! Can't read CDs, locks CDs in machine, when it does play, it has lots of sound problems. Summary: I think there should be a No Star or Negative Star rating allowed for this item. I bought the FL8385 in April 2004 - it has NEVER worked properly. I had it replaced 3 times under warranty and each one had the same problems: It can't read the CDs when inserted, it looses the CD identification in 5 cd tray, CD tray locks in CDs. When eventually it does play the CD it has intermittent faults in the sound. I've spoken to others that own this same unit, and they've experienced the same problems. You may as well just burn up your money! At this point I'm throwing it out and buying a Sony! 75% of People (3/4) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

sailmag Member Since: Dec 2007 View Member's: Reviews	Nothing But A Headache! Strengths: An attractive case but nothing else out of the ordinary. Weaknesses: Am on my 2nd replacement unit that has just now stopped working after only 4 months. Summary: Have an HK receiver/amp that has worked well without any problems for several years. Relied on HK reputation in buying CD player. My bad for not reading reviews for this product. Now I'm stuck in the exchange game with HK. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

simbadb Member Since: Jan 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 6 Months	Can NOT Recommend Strengths: Nice Match With HK Receiver Weaknesses: Everything Else Summary: I am on my 3rd Warranty Replacemnt Unit. This is a VERY unreliable unit that HK should pull from the market. HK equipment is generally good but this piece is damaging a fine reputation. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

spunk from FL Member Since: Mar 2004 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 6 Months	Not Reliable Strengths: Good sound quality Weaknesses: It breaks down continuously. Summary: This thing is just not reliable. It kept breaking down. The rotating plate that holds the CDs just never worked properly. Also it kept eating my CDs. The CDs would fall behind the rotating plate into the machine itself and I had to open it up every time to retrieve the CD. What a pain! Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?
