I just learned (by reading the manual) that our Sony does, in fact, read the
CD and set up a slide show. Works great. Our Philips, however, will only
play audio files from CDs. So it does depend on the make and model. I had
assumed that it would only be the more expensive models that would have that
capacity. It is ironic, indeed. Thanks for the note.
