Decent if you don't want too much

"This product is useful if you want to store and play large numbers of CDs. The functions which it contains are not particularly useful for those with a classical collection.

Same problem with CDP-CX455

"This is my second Sony CD player in a 10 year period. My first Sony also had problems with humming and whining noises. It was repaired under warranty at a local Sony authorized repair center in Paramus N.J. 3 times before I purchased a Kenwood 6 CD Carousel changer. My CD collection grew to well over 400 CD's so I took the chance and purchased the Sony CDP-CX455 and for two and a half years, it worked flawlessl..." Read Full Review »

Works Well

★★★★☆
4.0

"After about 3 years, I have to say so far so good. The various playback modes allow it to play a single cd then over to the next in sequence (genre placement helps in the carosel), random mode, which allows the changer to randomly select a song form any cd, and a few others that I never use.

"Bought this last year. Maybe played 10-15 times, have it leveled perfectly on a very solid ent. center as advised by other reviewers and the book. Hooked to a VERY expensive surge supressor, as is my other equipment. Used the optical output to an Onkyo amp.
