Review 1 of 16

Price Paid:  $120.00 from Best Buy

Year / Model Reviewed:
 CDC-X217

Strengths:
cool look, good sound,& good price.

Weaknesses:
Can skips at times.

Summary:
It was easy to pick up on how to use it and use the settings. I been looking for other cd players that could display the red lihts, like this one. But so far I found none. I love the red lights b/c it maches my red camaro. Bass and sound is good. It's very sharp looking for the price. It skips on rough speed bumps and it can also at times be sensitive on skipping too. Once in a while it will lose all memory when I take the face plat off. I need to get it fixed becuase someone Played with It too much and brook it (won't pull in cd & play). Hopefully it will be fix for good and no more other problems like some of these other people are having with theirs. I feel I am one of the lucky ones.

Review 2 of 16

Price Paid:  $0.00 from Circuit City

Year / Model Reviewed:
 Aiwa CDLX217

Strengths:
Nice sound and good looking display. The high bass is fine sounding. I got it as a gift so it was worth the price

Weaknesses:
The red is almost invisible in the daylight and seeing some of the sound adjustments is difficult. It looks too good. My face plate was ripped off twice.

Summary:
All in all a pretty good CD player. I had a CD get stuck in it one time but after w while it came out again and in good condition. I've had the face plate stolden from my car twice now but thats the worst that happened. Occasionally when I use the CD player too long it will freeze up and not load another until it cools down but it keeps on going. I have to learn to take the faceplate with me more often, at $65-$70 a pop I can't afford to keep losing it.

Review 3 of 16

Price Paid:  $0.00 from Best buy

Year / Model Reviewed:
 cdc-x217

Strengths:
Good sound for a few months, nice bass and display.

Weaknesses:
Everything else about this deck. Unless of course you like to get it repaired (cleaned) every other week.

Summary:
This deck worked fine for a month or two, but then would not eject my CD's. 2 weeks ago it wouldn't recognize the CD in it, but wouldn't eject it either. Also you couldn't put any other CD's in. I sent it in to the repair center. They said all they did was clean it and it worked fine. After a couple days of good use the same thing happened again and now I have no sounds in the ride again. I am quite disappointed.

Review 4 of 16

Price Paid:  $100.00 from Best Buy

Year / Model Reviewed:
 2001 AIWA CDC-X217

Strengths:
Looks good, but that's it.

Weaknesses:
Never worked from the minute I bought it. Nobody can fix it and it's been a headache.

Summary:
Never worked from the start. Had it "fixed", still didn't work. CD's skip really bad. I hate this stereo and will never buy AIWA again. Best Buy is terrible too. I'm getting a Pioneer DEH-3400. Read good reviews. I guess paying only $100, I got what I paid for.

This is my first car stereo. Always had whatever came in the car. Nothing nice.
