 "Works perfectly for me" | 2008-09-22 |

I bought it a couple of months ago for a good price. I plugged it in, I turned it on. Since then I've been playing CDs with it, with no problems whatsoever. Sometimes I dust it. Sometimes it just sits there quietly. Many times it plays awesome prog rock.
The display is good, the remote is good, and the mechanisms are quiet. The build seems sturdy and (so far) the electronics have been reliable.
This unit replaces a JVC I had; the JVC's buttons were beginning to go. Sound reproduction quality on both units satisfies me - both have 1-bit D/A conversion and 8x oversampling.
So chalk me up as one reviewer whose CDPCE375 works just fine, and I'm happy so far. |

| I was looking for a simple cd player/changer, and this product does what it was meant to do. I have had no problems so far. If you are looking for high end audiophile type player, this is not for you, but if you are looking for a simple good quality cd player, then this product will work well. |

Typical Sony high quality, seems to be well made, it is a large unit - I guess to accomodate the CD carousel. Controls are easy to use, remote works well, no problems reading any of my CDs. The only downside would be that the power button must be used on the unit, no power control from the remote. Not a big deal.
Similiar (or maybe identical?) unit at a local major retailer was significantly more expensive than Amazon. |

| I purchased this CD player and love it. It is easy to use and being a Sony, the last of which lasted 10 years, (being the last CD player I owned was a Sony 5 disc changer), I am sure this product will last just as long. I love this CD player! |

| I replaced my 7 year old RCA CD changer with this one. I like it much better. The other one was always on "standby" so I would turn everything off at the power strip. When this is on it's on and off is off. Controls and remote are simple to understand. The other one got me into a disk skip mode which I could only get out of by turning everything off or trying to figure out the instructions in the manual. All in all this is much easier to get going on. I haven't had a chance to really listen to my music on it for any length of time yet but it shows promise. |

 "MEDIOCRE at best..." | 2008-03-29 |

I just rescued my sister from the clutches of this CD player. She was having a few issues with it freezing up and the carousel rotation being a bit iffy...sometimes it would not go to the selected disk but overshoot to the next one.
Like most people who have no real experience with quality audio electronics, she bought this player at Best Buy mainly because of the Sony brand name recognition. After all, she is from the generation which grew up in the 80s when Sony was still making high quality products, whereas nowadays only their TVs are decent and their home and car audio stuff is mediocre to downright awful (the Sony Xplod car audio series in particular is awful both in performance and long term reliability, especially their car amps).
The sound quality on this CD player isn't awful, but it certainly isn't great---for a hundred and seventy dollars you can get an Oppo 980 which plays a gazillion different formats (both audio and video), is multi-region capable, and whose audio quality would wipe the floor with this player, as well as surpass most audiophile CD players costing up to seven or eight hundred dollars (e.g. a Rotel, Rega, or Cambridge Audio 640).
Now if you really must have a multi-disk player, I would recommend a Marantz CD4001, or if you want to stay within the one hundred to two hundred dollar ballpark, go to accessories4less dot com and look at their refurbished Marantz carousels (cc4300 and cd4001), or even their Onkyo and Denon refurbs. My sister ending up getting the Onkyo carousel from them for about the same price as this Sony, and is much happier---more reliable, better build quality and sound quality.
In short, the only decent quality audio gear that Sony still makes is their ES series of receivers and CD players, but at that price range you'd still get much better sound performance for the money from smaller audiophile makes like Cambridge Audio, NAD, Marantz, just to name a few. Whatever mass-market audio gear (including DVD players) that Sony makes nowadays is just a marketing-driven effort to cash in on their brand name recognition while using the cheapest possible subcontractors. I won't say they're quite as horrible as Bose though, because at least Sony doesn't use an 800% markup or pursue the same shady business practices as Bose (which once sued Consumer Reports for an unfavorable review).

Purchased a factory reworked unit from a reputable seller on e-bay! When the unit arrived I hooked it up to my Yamaha receiver, it played one CD and then sat there like a mushroom in the dark! It refused to do anything else....so packed it up and sent to Sony for a one for one swap under the remanufacture warranty!
Received new unit no time flat from Sony! Hooked it up and it has performed flawlessly since! Sound is abit on the bright side or treble side if you prefer, but plenty of detail and rich sound. Switched from from gold plated RCA cables to a mid grade optical cable and also was a very nice imporvement in sound quality. All the features on this unit have worked with no problems what so ever. This unit coupled to my Yamaha receiver really brings out the best in my custom built Dayton TL tower speakers. One lesson I learned...buy a new unit next time!!!! |

| Like another reviewer, I got this new Sony 5-Disc changer to replace the Sony 5-Disc changer I bought in 1987, 20 years of service! This new Sony is not that different from my old one thankfully. Alternate through discs, choose tracks is all I really need. This is a nice and simple unit. So far it's working great. |

I've had my CD player for about 3 months now and have had no truoble with it. It always reads all of my discs and like my other sony it plays my discs without skipping. What stands out with this CD player is that its much quieter and slightly quicker switching discs; about 12 seconds between discs. Also when you have certain tracks programmed on a CD and you open the tray to put in another CD it keeps the programmed tracks of the last CD. Another thing I like that's also on my other Sony CD player is the elapsed
time indicator; where it tells how much time is left on the CD. Great job!
Way to go Sony! |

 "Very Disappointing" | 2007-11-25 |
| - Reviewed By User: A3H4X7NRS8KNOM |
| I've always relied on Sony to provide quality products, but the CDP-CE375 CD changer I bought recently is a big disappointment. The sound quality is fine, but when any number of disks is loaded and the shuffle mode is selected, it almost always quits playing with several of the selections from each disk remaining unplayed. In addition, the Repeat function does not work. I was thinking of exchanging the one I have for another Sony, because perhaps this one is just a lemmon, but after reading several customer reviews describing the same problem of not playing all of the tracks on all of the disks, I'm going to look for another brand. Too bad, Sony, you've really blown it with this junker. |
