What's not so great: Inconsistent playback ability
I purchased this CD player (the only make/model available - most must have gone to MP3 players) as a replacement for an older player on its last legs. 1st player consistently "warbled" playing about 40% of the discs. Returned/replaced with the same model (Sony does have a good reputation)....same thing - although only happens about 25% of the time. Pathetic, really.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: price
What's not so great: doesn't work
I bought this thinking that, of course, it would play CD-Rs.
Not even close. Plus it wouldn't even play commercial CDs on a consistent basis.
I thought it might be an issue with the CD-R recording, but they played fine on a denon single CD payer, my computer, and even a cheap single disc player boom box ($29 - Jensen),
I returned it and got a Yamaha 697 which works perfectly.
What is up with Sony? I know they have DRM issues, but yikes. Never again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Disc exchange, fairly quiet, lightweight
What's not so great: No Control A1 II, no jog dial, track skip condensed with RW/FF, no time/display, repeat, or continue buttons on unit.
Slightly disappointed Sony is stepping down their game by taking some of the important buttons off the front panel -- like time/display, repeat, continue, shuffle, program, and fader (fader not included at all). The Control A1 II feature has been phased out, so it cannot communicate with my existing 300 disc changer. Also there is no longer a jog dial; RW/FF buttons double as track skipping.
Still though, it works well and does what I need it to do. Love the disc exchange feature. Never have / probably never will record to USB.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
