Good Points

200 CD capacity, progammable, lots of features

Bad Points

It doesn't work half of the time and at times completely destroys my CDs!

General Comments

At first glance, this 200-CD changer looks awesome! Random play, programmable text, make your own music programs, etc. etc. However, once I put in my CDs, about half of the time the selected CD gets lodged halfway between the place where it's supposed to play and the slot where it's stored. Then the carousel turns - think of a baseball card in the spokes of a bicycle tyre, except that the spokes are all of my CDs getting scratched all to hell. Now most of my CDs have serious scratches in them, and certain songs won't even play anymore. Other times, the machine tries to put a CD back into the wrong slot where there already is a CD, and it just jams it in there and this has actually broken some of my CDs right in half!!! Sure it has lots of features, but what good are these features if the machine just destroys my CDs. Very poor design, very poor quality. I will never again buy a Sony CD player.
