better than reviews Better sound than i thought. I used to play my cd's through my dvd player sony sr 500 and it sounded good. I kept reading reviews on getting a cd player , but wasn't sure if there was a difference on sound quality. why should there be? i was using my hdmi out on my dvd player to my onkyo sr608 reciever and it sounded great i guess. i looked at single dedicated cd players but i didnt like getting up and changing cd's. So i needed a multi changer. 5 disc nah. 300 disc oh yes. Sound quality was bright , music was clearer, and bass was deeper. Dont know why cd's sound better in a cd player vs dvd player.Even my copied cd's sounded better. But there is a difference u can hear and feel. If u like LISTENING to music get this. June 30, 2012
AWESOME CD PLAYER!! i have 2 of these units and I just love them! They hold all of my CD's and the great thing is that I only have to use one remote to control both units. It's like having my very own jukebox except that I don't need any spare change every time to listen to my music! I love the fact that I can also group my CD's by genre which is very helpful. The only thing is that I have to use a list of what CD's I have so I know where they are inside of the player. Otherwise it's like looking for a needle in a haystack when looking for a particular disc. Once I find the disc that I'm looking for I can usually find the song that I want to hear with no problem.

300 CDs, Needs a Refesh / Outdated This thing seriously needs a refresh. Obviously the marketing bozos at this once great company haven't figured out how to integrate this product with the brave new digital world. Okay, some thoughts -- (I want to store all of my discs safely, I want to call them up quickly, I want access to a friggin' CDDB so setup's easy, and since I want to be able to rip the bloody lot of it while sitting on the other room) Sigh. Don't buy this, it's a great product but not at modern usability standards. Not in 2010. May 22, 2010
Time for Sony to take the next step Have had this deck for quite a while and am reasonably happy with it. New CDs don't even need to have info input anymore. There is an annoying loud rubbing type noise when CDs are changing. That is my only real complaint. The next step for Sony would be to allow this player to be connected to the internet/home network to pull info about the discs off the internet and allow you to manage the discs from your PC/MAC. I was thinking I was ready for a second deck and was hoping to find that Sony might have this feature now that might be backward compatible through the Mega Command capabilities to extend the new capabilities to the older changers as well. Would buy another one in a minute if internet/networking capabilities were added. Would also like to figure out a way to stop the rubbing noise when cds change. January 3, 2009
