I am not a fan of alcorn. specifically the 8traxx flash chip player.
The machine is unreliable which is strange for a flash chip player.
Channels just drop out over time and the machine overheats easy.
Channels on the 8traxx machine can not be synched for stereo or 8
channel play.
I think with dvd player or buy your own mp3 players and anyone would
be miles ahead.
Can you tell I still have not cooled down over how this pro line
product performs like junk.
