Vita Audio R4

I auditioned one of these at Oranges & Lemons in Battersea. It wouldn't read any CDs and I was later told that both the units that they had sold so far had been returned faulty. Be warned!

In response to the above post, at Vita Audio we welcome both dealers and customers to contact us should they have any problems. It seems in this case there had been a breakdown in communication! Upon inspecting the faulty units we found that the CD and front panel had become misaligned causing the units not to function but the fix was quickly remedied. We can only assume that this situation arose due to bad handling during transit as so far we've only experienced minimal CD faults and the overwhelming reaction to R4 by customers is they love the sound , style and single box convenience.

Sounds very familiar.
Bought one a week ago - cd's go in and play - but refuse to come out again! Shop assistant tried the one on display in store and same thing happened. Not really the done thing when it costs £500. Now waiting for new stock to arrive middle-end of December! - hopefully fault free. Might just go and get a refund though as reliability sounds an issue. Apart from that the machine looks fantastic and sounds fantastic. Wouldn't have minded another remote control though rather than having to rely on the removable control panel on top if unit.
