The Sony CDP-CE375 5-disc changer features a carousel tray and play exchange, with a play 1/exchange 4 system. The CDP-CE375 plays both regular CDs and CD-R/RW so you can also listen to your own mixes on your home audio system. The front panel features a 7-segment fluorescent display along with a jog dial with Direct Access track selection.
Features include play exchange, repeat play, track scan, and a fade in/fade out function for five seconds of fading time on either end of the track. The CDP-CE375 has a 32-track programmable memory and a peak-level search feature, which scans through the disc for the loudest section to set correct volume levels.
The CDP-CE375 has several audio options to connect the CD changer to your home audio system, including two analog outputs (1 RCA and 1 fixed/variable), one digital output, and one headphone jack.
What's in the Box
CD player, Remote Commander remote control, 2 AA batteries, 1 RCA cable, user's manual, and warranty information.
1 Good and inexpensive
easy set up, has the "all disc random play" function instead of the single disc random play, the only negative is no power on-off button on the remote...what a bummer for an otherwise good
inexpenisve component.....
2 Definately Do Not Buy
Stupidly thinking that SONY was a reputable audio company I bought and returned this CD player and one with more features this week. Problems? The systems would not read/play CDR - CDRW discs as well as several newer manufactured CDs. The "scanning - all discs" feature played unreliably - stopping after 20 minutes before all tracks were played. Coming from an era where you put a record on a turntable or a tape in a tapedeck and music plays - this selective playing is NOT acceptable. I returned both and purchased an ONKYO DX C390 6 disc changer (about 50$ more -well worth the quality)- wow what a difference. I will NEVER buy SONY again!!!
3 Subpar at best.
If youre looking for a great 5 cd changer I highly recommend Optimus's.Ive had it since 2002 and it still works fine.Ive had to clean it a few times but overall I was very impressed.This one by Sony was possesed after 4 months.I was highly disappointed.Is Optimus more reliable?I think so but Sony still makes some kick ass speakers.
4 Intermittent CD Player
I have returned this unit twice to no avail. It has an irritating flaw of not recognizing/not loading a CD and skipping its place in the tray. Sometimes it plays all five CDs, sometimes only one. Not what I expected from Sony.
5 Sony's CDP-CE375 May Have Some Flaws!
My Sony CDP-CE375 5-disc carousel changer had a major flaw which may or may not be present in all their units. When loading a cd in tray 1 often the cd player would not drop the disc down into it's play position and therefore the front info. panel would say "No Disc". You would have to press "open" and then "close" it again before the cd player would then do it the proper way. This can be very irritating to say the least. This particular cd player does have remote control as well as a headphone jack. There are volume controls on the remote which allow one to control the volume when using the headphone jack. There's also a jog dial to quickly switch tracks. You can play cd's, cdr's and cdrw's in the unit. A cool function of this unit is that you can change discs while one is playing. Also, this player has digital optical out if you want to record cd's digitally from the player to a cd recorder. The sound quality is excellent and I had no problems playing back cdr's or cdrw's. A good unit if the above mentioned problem didn't exist.
