Bought this Sony to replace a 5 year old Onkyo unit that would turn itself on for no apparent reason. Have only had the Sony for 6 weeks but so far works exactly as advertised. It took me all of 3 minutes to setup. Its running through an Onkyo TX-SR606 Receiver to an Onkyo SKS-HT540 7.2 surround sound speaker system. The sound is clear, with sharp highs and never a hint of hiss or hum. Ive tried multiple listening modes available on the receiver but all channel stereo seems to fit me best.
Havent tried the MP3 capability yet so cant comment on that. Otherwise the playback, shuffle, FF and reverse etc. instructions are straight forward right from the manual. Remote is full function with no need to get up with exception of putting in new CDs.
You cant beat this units price to performance ratio. If the longevity holds up Ill be getting another for my main room system.

The first one that was sent to me was jacked, but the replacement was everything
I hoped for, just as easy to use as my original.

Very impressed with the sound quality. Able to hear the very subtle tonal variations in voices. Very detailed. Very musical.
Nora Jones and Haley Westenra sound excellent on this cd player through my Energy Veritas speakers.
Also own older Pioneer and Kenwood cd players that cost many times what this Sony cost. This Sony brings such an improvement to the recordings.
Bought the first Sony cdp-ce500 a couple of months ago. I downloaded some music onto a usb memory stick for play on the Sony cd player. Wasnt expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised by the playback.
The choices are somewhat limited in cd players that can also play from a usb source. Also the prices can be much higher than this Sony with the same features.
There are better cd players out there but at a much higher price for improvements that may only be marginal and may not matter much to the average listener.
I am very satisfied with my purchase.

The disc changer works very well. I had a previous changer different company which quit after many years. The Sony seems superior in many ways, including the ability to play mp3 discs. Very pleased with the purchase, and Vanns free shipping was fast and flawless.

Excellent product. Easy to set up and operate. Integrated into my Sony AV Home Theater system seamlessly. Especially like the front USB port to plug-and-play music from my Sony desktop and Tablet S1 both also bought from Vanns. Also, the price and shipping charges just cant be beat--puts the big box retailers to shame. Thanks Vanns!

There are not many cd players around anymore. This unit and remote are very good quality for the low price. The rotation of the changer gets noisy at times, but in play mode is super quiet.

This Sony Model was extremely easy to setup- I replaced the cables and had it powered up within about 3 minutes. My 70 year old mother was operating the remote within minutes and has been enjoying playing MP3 format cds and uses it daily to keep her company. I am able to share MP3s using a flash drive as well. It has plenty of power and has been used constantly for 3 months without any issues. This is a great household model that is very easy to use.

I am very pleased with the SONY quality that is in this unit. It looks nice, plays nice, and best of all, sounds wonderful. I have had some problems with carousel models from other brands. This SONY unit fit the bill with all of its options and different modes available. When I hooked up this unit I was instantly happy with the sound and the ease with its operation. The MP3 option drew me to this choice and it makes for a great cherry on top of this buy. This is a great product for a great price. I am very happy with my purchase.

The Sony 5 Disc CD Changer I just bought from Vanns is great!
I recieved the product quickly and have been enjoying it daily since.
My old 5 disc CD changer had just died and we needed to get one fairly quickly to go in our new apartment. I went to Best Buy and found this product for $150.00. Before I made a decision I decided to go online and check prices. Vanns had the product on sale, I saved a bunch! Thanks Vanns!

This was a replacement of a older Sony player that we had for years.
We are very satified with the new player, especially the USB option.
One slight draw back is the lack of a shuffle feature that our older model had.
But that is NOT a show stopper.
Took all of 2 minutes to set up and we have been enjoying it since.

This is an excellent CD Player for the money. I'm very happy with it. Notably It plays Traditional .cda formats as well as MP3 format. The shuffle feature is very good but must be selected using the remote. There is no button on the unit itself for the various shuffle options. I also like the fact that you can use a USB memory stick in lieu of CDs. There are many menu options for playing and shuffling songs on the memory stick.

I had purchased a Sherwood 5-CD changer a few months ago, while our new house was being rehabbed. It seemed to test fine, and I threw out all the packaging, etc. Then a few weeks later, I discovered that it only worked well with factory-made CDs, and is terrible with CD-Rs. That is a big part of my listening.
Im happy to report that the Sony 5-CD changer has not had a single miss when I change the track on one of my CD-Rs, if fact it respondes instantly an improvement over an older Sony 5-CD changer I wore out about a year ago. Im very happy with this model. Could be my imagination, but the music even sounds better.
Note I have not yet attempted to program playing of only selected tracks. The control panel seems a little different than my previous Sony. So, I cannot comment yet on its programability function.
