My wife is music teacher, and it is important to us have a decent audio system in the house that plays from various source. When she moved in in 1998, she had a Technics component system, one of those with monster speakers that I recall seeing on display at Macy's in the 1970s. All that is left of that system is the turntable and the dual tape deck. We have on Onkyo 804 receiver and Axiom speakers. At the same time as we upgraded the receiver and the speakers, we bought the Sony SCD CD5 CD changer. The sound was terrific, but that may have been mostly attributable to the receiver and the speakers. We did that upgrade in 2006. This year (2009) we began to have big problems with the CD changer. Some CDs it would not play at all. (This was not a moisture problem as it would play others). I am not talking about downloaded CDs here, I am talking music CDs for teachers that were recently purchased. They play on the boom box, and on the Phillips wall-mounted CD /radio player, but they don't play in the Sony. The final straw was today, when we put a disc in, closed the machine up, pressed the play button and got no sound. A common occurrence. But then when I pressed the open /close button to the disc out, the machine did nothing. I had to turn the machine off and on a few times before we could get the CD (one of a set, and needed for work) out. This machine in now in the garage, waiting for our next trip to the dump. I hooked up an Onkyo DX-C390. It is working. The sound is better, much better. My advice is to avoid this Sony product and go with the Onkyo or the Yamaha, which seems to be getting great reviews.
