| fyshbone's Full Review: Sony CDP-CX57 51-Disc CD Changer |
I received this cd player as a gift, and I must say I have been satisfied with it. I got a new player because I had a lot of cds that I wished to organize into a cd-jukebox.
The features on the player are quite good, a memory bank, random play, memory for cd titles, etc.
It holds 51 cds, a good amount, in the 200 disk changers I imagine things can get confusing keeping track of everything.
However, when put on random play, it gets a bit tedious waiting for the spindle to spin around and load the next cd. There is probably a 5-10 wait every time you want to change the cd.
This gets a bit annoying. However, the sound quality of this player is quite good. I have the sound output going through its optical output into the optical input of my Sony DTR-DE725. Sounds crystal clear.
Another thing to consider before buying a cd-jukebox is whether you use cds in other places. For example, I use the same cds in this player as I do in my cd player in my car. It gets to be a pain taking a cd out of the jukebox to bring into my car, a one or five disk player may be more worthwhile since they don't always sit in my player.
Entering cd data into the player is annoying as well. You either have to use the dial on the player to turn to the right letter, enter that one, start from A again, find the next letter, etc... Entering data like that, or using the remote control, which is confusing as well (there isn't a number for each letter, you have to enter it in combinations).
It is a pretty nice player if this type of player is what you want, the sound quality is really good and it holds a good quantity, not too many, not too little. As long as you don't want your music right away.
