Good Solid CD Player
on May 3, 2014
Posted by: Lanczos
The CDP-CE500 ("500") arrived on time with no damage. It replaced a 5-CD player from another manufacturer that cratered after 14 years.
The 500 appears to be a sturdy, well-designed CD player. I use it every week. The remote unit has full functionality, and can control the player even from at least 25' away at a very acute angle.
There are only four things I would change about the 500:
1. The 500 does not identify the CD "disk number" on the 5-disk tray very legibly. The disk number is molded into the plastic beside the disk holder slot, but is otherwise unhighlighted. C'mon, 1 cent of white or yellow paint would make all 5 of the the disk slot numbers MUCH more legible.
2. Loading CDs into the unit requires that you press "DISK SKIP" (either using the remote or on the main unit), which rotates the tray to the next position. This is reasonable, but leads to weirdness (see 3, below).
3. When the 5-place tray is loaded with CDs, after all CDs have been loaded, pressing the "Open/Close" button places the initial play-point at the last CD inserted. So, if the tray is empty, and you load a CD into each slot 1, 2, and 3, (leaving 4 and 5 empty), the first CD up to play is the one in slot 3!!! VERY COUNTER-INTUITIVE [CRIMINY - Upon "Play", just set INITIAL_SLOT=1, and then scan forward to see which slots are actually filled with a CD - a function that the 500 already does...]
4. The front panel display has an alphanumeric display, so WHY NOT DISPLAY THE META-DATA ON THE CD instead of "Disk 1 - Track 2 - Min/Sec 12.44"
Otherwise, I have been very happy with the 500.

Poor Product Description
on December 30, 2012

I bought this CD Player in Amazon and did not see anywhere that outside speakers were needed, maybe I should have known but normally when you buy an equipment that requires another component to work, it is listed as (not included). Unfortunately the outside box was quite damaged and I threw it away so I cannot return this thing back to Amazon. I have no space in my small apartment for additional speakers or amplifiers.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

FALLING APART IN THE BOX
on April 27, 2015
Posted by: wahrenbrock
I read the operating instructions, plugged it in and opened the disk loading drawer. Down in the bottom, tangled in the draw, I found part of the disk drive, or at least that's what it looks like it should do. I live in a small town 270 miles away from the store I bought it. To return the player to where I bought it is over 400 mi. round trip

I Love my Sony
on July 16, 2014

My Stereo is from 1990, and my CD player was fixed once in 1993, then It died in 2013, When I called Sony about whether it could be fixed or not they told me I could replace it, but it was no longer fixable,
they gave me the information of where I could purchase one, and I have no problem with Sony, only the place I purchased it from.

Great upgrade!
on May 3, 2014
Posted by: Jimjam
This was a really nice upgrade from my old CD changer. The remote lets me power on/off, select a disc, etc. My old unit had far less options via the remote. This unit works quite well with my Sony stereo, too.
