| Can't beat it for the price |
| This CD/DVD player hooks up well and holds 5 CDs. But my old one had one little button to shuffle on one CD or shuffle all. This thing requires about 7 steps including turning on your television to utilize a menu option JUST to get it to shuffle ONE CD. It does not shuffle all. For watching videos and listening to one CD it is top notch. Just miss my Shuffle ALL functionality. |

| Excellent |
| I purchased a Sony 5 disk player 6 years ago and it's an excellent DVD/CD player. It is still playing and is used daily. When I decided to setup my living/greatroom I had no doubts about which DVD/CD player I would buy. My second Sony Progresssive Scan 5- Disc DVD/CD player is functioning up to specs. and is easy to use. If you want a 5-disc player look no further than the Sony. |

| Works fine |
| As with all Sony products, it is overpriced. It works just fine and I recommend it. To be honest, I have all Sony equipment and I have never had an problem with any of them. Not to say they don't fail -- they do. I am retired from electronics service so I know. |

| For the price, it's hard to beat |
| Purchased it on an impulse. I needed something to replace a older DVD player. My 5 changer CD broke during a recent move so I decied to buy this model since it can play 5 disks of music or upscale DVD's. I get the best of both worlds. I still plan to buy a Blue Ray player in the future. Once I do, I will still get use out of this device as it will remain as my CD player for music. |

| Give your old DVDs a new lease on life. |
I purchased this DVD player to replace an outdated (probably produced around 1998) Sony Progressive Scan DVD player that still got the job done but was lacking in many areas (stopped playing burned CDs). I cannot say how happy I am with this purchase. First and foremost, the picture is absolutely beautiful. There is no comparison between the video output of this machine and that of the outdated Sony, which was an early iteration of the progressive scan.
I had thought about purchasing a Hi-Def media player (most likely the PS3 but an HD DVD player was probably more in the realm of affordability), but decided, quite fortunately as it turns out, to go with this player seeing as though I do not own nor plan to purchase any type of Hi-Def media in the near future. This player makes those old crusty DVDs shine in 1080p. Each time I throw in a movie that I haven't watched in years, it looks like a completely new movie. This player single-handedly brought the life back to my DVD collection.
The player has many other good features, as well as a brilliant video output, such as a six disc memory for the resume feature which threw me for a loop the first time I experienced this in action. It displays JPEG image CDs/DVDs better than any other I have seen in recent memory and allows a soundtrack for a picture slide show. The load time is pretty quick for both switching discs (about 20 seconds for audio CDs and a little more for DVDs), and exchange feature is quite intuitive, which can be said for most of the controls of this machine. I could go on but I think I have said enough to make you all think that I'm a salesman for Sony.
The only gripe I have with the machine so far is that the remote is very sensitive when navigating menus, but it does not hold much water in my book because of how little time I, or anyone actually, really spends in the menu.
All in all, this is the best upscaling DVD player around for the money, and depending on the longevity of the output, I will enjoy this player and more importantly my DVD collection for years to come. So provided that you do not want to spend the money on a shiny new Hi-Def player, this machine packs a wallop for a relatively small price.
