Well, perhaps it doesn't meet your standards, maybe it doesn't meet a
LOT of folks' standards. I have to ask though, was it advertised as
having a pause? It seems to me that were that such an important matter
to you, you'd have done your due diligence and checked it out. Again,
that's not a shot at you necessarily but you're obviously so worked up
about it that I feel my comment is valid. Shame on you, not on Honda.
It would be shame on Honda if you stood here telling one and all that
"I'll never buy a Honda since the boobs don't bother to put a pause
control on their CD player!"

Maybe, maybe not. The CD's in my home stereo component system get hot.
The CD's in my Corvette's and Buick Park Avenue's CD players get hot.
The CD's in my mini-component stereo at the office get hot. The CD's
in my wife's Bose system at home get hot. Lastly, I have six CD's in
the changer in my '06 Accord that have been in there for at least six
months. Happens that I played a couple today while on a trip. No sign
of a problem. Neither has there been any sign of a problem with CD's in
any of the other players - static or mobile - mentioned above.

As a matter of fact, I think the ONLY CD player I've ever owned that
DIDN'T significantly raise the temperature of the CD's therein was a
Sony Discman I once owned - of course, that doesn't count the times it
was left in the sun out by the pool<g>
