Worked until the warrantee was up, about a year. The CD changer died. The Sony site did not have any information on this model. Very frustrating and a waste of money.

JUNK!!!
I have had this stereo just a little over a year and I have had it serviced 3 times for the same problem–the CD compartment would get jammed and would not open. Resetting the system(as Sony suggested) did not help at all. No, the CDs did not have labels on them, so this is not the reason it was jammed–they were all original CDs. The flip up CD tray is a unique feature, but I think that is exactly the problem. What a piece of JUNK!!!! If it were possible, I would not have even given it 1 star.

Amazing System!
I got this system about a year and a half ago and it has work GREAT. I love to listen to my music loud and it won’t start going psycho at high volumes. It has some great features (automatic on/off alarm at whatever volume you want). This might sound weird but I bought some JBL Invaders also (GREAT TOO) and hooked them up with these and the result was an incredible range of sound. Bass is enough to blow your ears out if you wanna. The mid to high range sounds great together and each system makes up for what the other doesn’t have. Try it!

Great Stereo for the Money
I will make this short and sweet–this stereo is made very well;the sound is very good–perfect for your bedroom(which is where mine is)I really do not find any faults with this unit–I love the tape player being placed on top-makes it very easy to load and unload cassettes–also will be very easy to clean the tape heads–the access door simply slides back to insert tape–i hate those players with those “full logic” cassette players in them–every stereo ever had–those cassette doors break-either ya can’t open em or they get stuck. No way this will happen on this unit–the only flaw in this unit is tape is not auto-reverse. I was very pleased with how good the tape player sounded–had some very old cassettes that sounded very good–had not been played in long long time-still great quality.

The tuner works well AM and FM–I don’t listen to radio unless bad weather is around so tuner really does not matter to me.

It is more than adequate though.

The CD Player is very good–was surprized that it played all my homemade cd’s–even my MP3’s-flawless reproduction-just can’t get over how good this unit sounds and i am older(54)person–have been involved with music most of my life and for the money-ya simply ain’t going to get any better deal for the money–as a matter of fact about a week or two later;I went and purchased another one to put on the porch to listen to on those summer afternoons when the grill is on and friends are over. It even sounds good on the porch-it will produce good sound at higher levels also-with no clipping either.

The one I put in the bedroom; I also have my VCR/DVD Player run through the AUX Inputs–sounds great–the only thing I did was to add a couple of speakers to it for a better bass response for the movie soundtracks(Sony Speakers—SS-MB350H-another good product from Sony–they are killer for their cost also–3-way with 8 inch woofer–but that is another story) needless to say am set for the bedroom now.

The system also looks very well–I can’t stand the systems with all the stupid lights and junk on them-give me just the plain solid look anyday.

I do not believe they are even making this model anymore so pick ya one up if you happen to see one somewhere-you won’t be sorry.

One more thing–this unit is not very light in weight and will fit well on top of the bookcase but not in it. It is pretty long (the main power unit)–another plus is you can lock the cd module when and if you wish to move it.

If you have small children–keep them awy from this unit–the cd tray actually ejects itself out and does a little flip vertical to insert the cd’s–this may be easy to mess up or break if not carefull with it.

Ya’ll Take care and Happy Holidays

A year later
We bought this stereo last Christmas for my daughter. The sound is great, and the convenience of 5 CD’s is good too. One thing we have been having problems with is opening the CD bay. It frequently gets stuck, always when she needs the CD in a hurry. I called Sony and they said the fix is to unplug the stereo for a minute and it resets itself. This works, but not too convenient.
