With CD's maybe getting towards the end of their life cycle. you might not need one of these anymore with your Ipods and Bluerays quickly replacing it. But if you're looking for a good and reliable CD player, this is a great choice. And when you think about trusted brands in the music industry, who better than Sony?

The body of this CD player is basic and nothing fancy. Its black body is rectangular and I would say that it is one of the smaller models in the market today. When I bought it, the cost was around £240, but I've seen it going for cheaper online.

The device itself features Text Display, Track Text Display, Track Scan, Track Programming for your CD's.

The device works well with normal CD's and also CD's which have been burnt (i.e. CD-R or CD-RW). So if you're one that doesn't want to subject your original CD's to wear and tear, this is a great option. It has a slot for headphones so you can listen to it privately if you choose.

It is first and foremost a jukebox type of player and holds about 200 CD's in its changer. This should be more than enough for an average listener. Although I don't own that many, I found that it was nice to be able to swap the CD's I have in the jukebox device itself without having to put in and take it out from the boxes whenever I wanted to change CD's.

The sound quality is good. However, If you would like to add that extra quality for your listening pleasure I throughly recommend you add on a high quality amplifier to boost your sounds. Team it with a good pair of speakers and you have the ultimate sound machine.

I recommend this as a great CD player and jukebox device for beginners.
