Pros I guess it makes a nice CD player, with the 5 slots for CD's. Cons Too unreliable to use to burn CD's from analog sources (tapes and albums). Recommended it? No I was horribly disappointed with this equipment. I have over 100 great old albums from the 60's and 70's that I wanted to put onto CD's. I used the SONY Music CD-R's, so there would be no compatibility issues, but in 9 attempts I burnt 7 coasters and 2 CD's. Halfway thru recording the machine would...

Pros Solid quality, easy to program, lots of features on remote control Cons No high speed copying available for single track. Recommended it? Yes Sony have a winner here. The 5-disc changer works smoothly and faster than others I've used. Overall I like the quality of this machine. By comparison I recommend a "pass" on Philips models. Sony have added "manual track advance" to their more recent models. You can now copy to CD analog...

Yes Sony 300 Disc Capacity CD Player - Sony Model CDP-CX355 BULLETIN: In July 2011, after 3 years of service, this player developed a "...tic,tic,tic, tic..." habit that soon degraded to a complete shutdown.

Pros Small Size, Worth Every Penny, Holds 300 CDs, many great and unique memory and storage... Cons A little difficult to use without instruction manual. Recommended it? Yes Each year, Santa a.k.a. my mom, has me compile a list of what I want if I was a good little boy, and the spoiled little brat inside of me always expects at least one expensive item. After thinking it over, I decided a new CD changer with larger storage capabilities than what I had is what I wanted... Read full review » Read All Reviews »
