A:

Unfortunately, the Sony CDP-CE500 CD Changer is not a stand-alone product. The Sony CDP-CE500 CD Changer does not offer speaker terminals. You can’t connect any pair of speakers to the Sony CD changer. The Sony CD changer operating instructions do not indicate that this unit offers speaker terminals. Sorry. The operating instructions indicate on page 9 that this unit must be connected to an rca style line level input or digital optical input of an amplifier. The Sony CD Changer can be connected to any A/V receiver or shelf stereo system that Best Buy sells. You can also purchase any shelf stereo system from Best Buy if you are looking for a CD player/speaker combination in one complete package. In addition, if you are looking for a CD player with speakers built into one unit, then you can consider purchasing a boombox from Best Buy as well. Typically, a boombox features a CD player, FM/AM tuner, cassette player/recorder, and 2 full range speakers in one unit that can operate on batteries or AC power. The Sony CFD-S350SILVER boombox or Sony CFD-G700CP boombox would be a great choice for this application. Good Luck.

The CDPCE500 is a HiFi component and so does not have a built in amplifier or speakers. There is an analog and digital output to connect the unit to a Receiver.

A:

No. The Sony CDP-CE500 CD Changer can’t record audio from vinyl and cassettes. The Sony CDP-CE500 CD Changer can’t record to CD. The Sony CDP-CE500 CD Changer is not a traditional CD Recorder. There is no information in this unit’s operating instructions or marketing specifications that indicates that this Sony CD Changer can record audio or any music from records or cassettes to recordable CD media. The Sony CDP-CE500 CD Changer operating instructions indicate on pages 5, 13, and 14 that you can transfer music from a disc to a USB device (REC USB). You can only record to a connected USB device. The only available recording option for this Sony CD Changer is the USB port that is located on the front panel of the unit. Please note that this Sony CDP-CE500 CD Changer does not offer any traditional digital or analog inputs to record music on recordable CD media from a CD player, turntable, or cassette deck, etc. However, don’t despair. You can still purchase a component stereo CD recorder from Best Buy for this application. With that in mind, you can purchase a Teac CD-RW890 |SKU:3321375 CD Player/Recorder for all your vinyl record and cassette copying needs. Good Luck.

SHUFFLING

Q:

We are looking at purchasing this unit, but would like to know if with the shuffle feature: will it randomly select a disc and randomly select a selection from that disc then at the end of the song randomly select a different disc and song. Listening to an entire disc gets to be a bit much at times. Thanks

A:

No. The Sony CDP-CE500 CD Changer does not feature a line input jack to connect to your iPod. You can’t record from an external source component to this unit’s USB port. Sorry. This unit’s front panel USB port can only be used to copy music from a CD to a compatible USB media device or compatible USB flash drive in the MP3 file format. Please note that the Sony CD Changer does not record to CD, and it does not feature any audio input jacks that allow you to connect an audio component that functions as a recording source. However, if you do own a portable MP3 player with recording capabilities, then you can connect the MP3 recorder’s line input jack to the line output jack on the Sony Changer. Next, begin playback of the Sony CD Changer. Lastly, activate the record function on your portable MP3 recorder to copy music from the Sony CD Changer to your recorder in the MP3 format. Good Luck.

A:

The USB ports are intended to be used for external flash storage, not an iPod. An iPod requires MP3's to be logged into iTunes and formatted before an iPod could play the file. You would need to transfer the file on to a flash drive, move that to your computer, then copy the file into iTunes.
