I have had to have service on this unit for a second time. Not only did it take over a month of down time due to shipping warranty information and shipping labels but 7X2 Days in equipment shipping across the US from CA to NY and back only to find out my FIRST GIG, FIRST CD in Left drive (NON REPAIRED SIDE) went out and I was late in programming at a major event. I play Jazz, Lounge, Classical, New Age, World, Neo-Soul and do not use this unit for scratch mix and hard play.
A wonderful concept in technology, very unreliable. At first the CD reader on the right side would sometimes display "error" and then after ejecting the CD and sliding it back into the same CD player the unit would play the CD. This lead to a complete "error" read and mis-track of that drive as in the past I had tried to clean the drive using professional drive cleaners but was shut down seven minutes into a four hour set I was forced to play the entire remainder with one drive. I don't like to nail bite when I use my (professional equipment) my clients deserve more.. B-52 uses cheap laser tracking equipment in this unit I would NEVER buy another product using their optics.

The B-52 product is great at first, but is bound to mess up the more you play with it! I can't recommend it at all
As of now, I'm experiencing crossfader issues (I'm a heavy scratcher), disc read errors, jammed buttons, and non-working turntables! I really can't refer this product to anyone. If I did not use a program that runs through a labtop, I would be stuck and done for about 10/11 gigs in the past 3 weeks!
Also, let me add that I've tried calling the repair place for about 3 weeks now (about 7 times a day) and have yet to even receive anyone's call! and they have 3 numbers you can reach them at. It's almost as if no one even works their anymore!
If your a DJ and serious about it, stick with pioneer and/or the technics.

B-52 Prodigy FX Good Looking But Not Reliable

I bought one in Nov. 2007. The very next month at a gig a cd became stuck in the cd player. Tried everything to eject the cd. I had to continue the gig with only half of the unit functioning. Returned it to place of purchase and no one there could get the cd to eject so I was given another brand new unit. Apparently, B-52 knew there were problems with cd's becoming stuck in the cd players. This is why there is a stated procedure for ejecting cd's that become stuck. However, the procedure only works sometimes. In 2008, the same thing happened. The unit also developed a short in the receptacle connection that connects to the power cord. The unit was out of warranty by this time. The cd reader on the left side would sometimes display "error" and then after ejecting the cd and sliding it back into the same cd player the unit would play the cd. This unit has a tremendous amount of desirable features but because it is so unreliable I would not recommend anyone to buy one of these. With its reputation, I was surprised that B-52 would put an unproven product on the market as this. I would buy another Prodigy in a heartbeat if B-52 got all the bugs out. If this unit performed as it was supposed to, it would be one of the best DJ mixer/cd players on the market. This unit is a joy to operate when it is functioning properly, but can cause nightmares for a DJ in middle of a gig.
