They had some pretty terrible problems with their lasers a few years back but have since cleaned up their act and build a pretty decent CD player these days.

It might compete nicely with kenwood or jvc or something, but I still wouldn't want to buy it.

i was gonna nail him for not complying with your request of no sony bashing, but thanx for the racism. tactless on both parts.

as for the HU, it's ok at most IMO. 4v preouts, 7band eq, xm, remote. not a big fan of the fluorescent display, and i dont see any time alignment listed there. dunno what "Dynamic Soundstage Organizer for improved soundstage focus" means though, sounds important though.

i would stick with the more trusted brands.

I have had 2 sony decks... (Back in the day) and each of them died on there own.... from different causes..

1) The screen would DESIDE when it wanted to turn on.

2) The cds wouldnt eject

3)The screen would work... but not bright

4) The sub out puts stoped worked... then worked... off and on...

5) The buttons stoped working

MY solution.... bought a pioneer deck... and smashed the sony on the ground.... then burned it.
