This player met my expectations in every way and it was very inexpensive so I am happy. I bought it for books on CD so I can't judge how well it will handle music. Hard Rockers need another review.

I found this cd player to be really cool with the sound and I like how you can move around and the cd does not skip around. The only problem with this device is the controls are too small - I could not read the labels enough to understand what AVLS was nor could I understand the repeat button. When I went to look on the screen everything was so small it was ridiculous!

The ear piece was another factor - It was backwards or something, I got it to fit my ear and all but there needed to be some sort of covering for the ear piece.

I love it, except for those few things.

I bought the white version of this CD player (which is exactly identical except in color), to replace a Panasonic SL-SX480 which was skipping too much.

I'd heard great things about "Sony Sound Quality", and figured that this player would at least match or compare to Panasonic's D.Sound.

It does not.

In fact, the sound quality of this player is really quite poor until you turn it up beyond volume level 6, and you can only do that if you have AVLS turned off. At 6, it sounds pretty natural and solid, but who wants to listen at that high of volume all day long?

At a more acceptable volume, it truly feels like you are listening to a cassette player. The sound is thin, brassy, it doesn't involve you in the music which you are listening to. I would have expected better from Sony.

Because of this, I took the player back and bought a new Panasonic SL-SX480 instead...it may skip, but at least it sounds better.

I gave this as a gift, person says it is a great little system, loved the earphones, fit so much better then the recently newer ones do.
all and all a great product at an even better price

Performs exactly as expected, ez open, close, battery access, sound, controls all ok, in keeping with quality expected from Japan.

This CD player is perfect for my son. The headphones are the best we have seen yet. It also works great when I am on the treadmill.

With small black on black controls and a hard to open case, this unit is a disaster. Plays nice, but what good is that when you can't put in a CD or operate the controls?

Works well. Only drawback as I see it are that the controls are awkward to use because of their mounting on the side of the unit and are verrrry small; also the LCD readout is difficult to read - would be better if it were LED instead.

Yes, it looks cool - it sounds good and works well, but what were these Sony engineers thinking? The controls are practically invisible. The beveled edge of the unit make the buttons unreadable. Opening the unit to insert a new disc requires picking up the unit to slide the latch over. If you plan to use this as a table top player - such as on your nightstand, forget it! Look at another model. But, the sound is clear and true, the bass controlled.

This is a fine little CD player and sounds very good hooked up to my Altec Lansing M602 speaker. I like the form factor and it looks good in black. The symbols on the buttons are hard to see, but being black instead of an easier to see silver, does add to the cool look. It does not include an AC adapter, and clearly states so on the back of the package. As for me I do not need one more thing to plug in and with the good battery life I would prefer to operate on rechargeable batteries and not have to pay for an adapter I won't use.
