Sony CDP CE335 CD Players Reviews

Price Paid:  $130.00 from Circuit City

Summary:
This is a good cd player for someone with a budget, great price, sounds good.

However, the carousel is a little bit slow when skipping between discs. The digital output is a "thumbs-up" and is necessary(at least I think so).

Strengths:
Great sound, price, optical output

Weaknesses:
cannot power on/off with a remote, carousel is noisy and slow, "random all-disc" mode is more like "random 1-disc" mode

Price Paid:  $2000.00

Summary:
I bought this great cd player and I am happy with its sound. And It is a reliable unit I have not have any problems with it.

Strengths:
Great basic cd player if you don't want a stoopid 300 disc cd changer

Weaknesses:
The remote does not have a power buttion on it. And it cannot play CDRW> BUT IT CAN PLAY THE CD R great

sony CDP-CE375 This years model I bought this cd player 3 months ago when it just came out in the store I Got this unit to play the CDRW discs. but I like the CDP- CE335 much better

Price Paid:  $159.00 from Bestbuy

Summary:
No complaints. I got this during an exchange when I took a Pioneer 100+1 changer back to Bestbuy for the third time (the doors on all three kept jamming after four or five days). Apparently some people hate the megastorage models while others love 'em...but my next foray into the jukebox thing will be with another brand. No power on the remote, what the hell were they thinking! And as I stated above, it has a tendency to occasionally get stuck on one disc while on all-disc random mode, at least until all the songs on the disc are through playing. This happens very rarely, so it's something I can deal with. One cool thing is the disc exchange mode, which allows you to change all the other discs while one is playing. Four the money, I've got no beef with it...

Strengths:
Ultra-reliable so far; I've had it over 2 years now. Optical-out so I can hook it up to my Minidisc.

Weaknesses:
A little noisy when changing discs (but who cares), No power on the remote, will sometimes get "stuck on one disc during All-disc random mode.

Price Paid:  $150.00

Summary:
has all of the right bells and whistles from a utility point of view
great price

when this puppy gets old, it may start to skip - also, I lost a CD inside the machine and had to dismantle it to recover the disc - kinda strange

the track skipping when doing the disc exchange is quite irritating - don't know how to address this issue - any comments ?

Strengths:
good value
disc exchange feature is useful when it works properly

Weaknesses:
disc exchange feature in the last while has caused the disc that is playing to skip - this is really frustrating

no power off feature on the remote - which makes absolutely no sense

none

Price Paid:  $149.00

This is a great player, will work well for playing CD's on a budget. This player is especially nice if you have invested most of your money elswhere in your system.

Strengths:
Good construction, sound

Weaknesses:
remote sucks, unit shuffles discs whenever turned on
