Year / Model Reviewed:
2004 Sony- cdx F 5700

Strengths:
Display, sub pre outs

Weaknesses:
distorts when turned up loud, vibration problem

Summary:
I bought this cd player because the one i had was a little old. It has a lot of nice features, and plays scratched cd's pretty well, however once i hooked my subs up, the cd player sometimes skips everytime the bass hits forcing me to turn the music pretty much all the way down. (Very Annoying!!!!!!)

Price Paid:  $150.00 from Best Buy

Strengths:
Tons of features all of them VERY USABLE. Color changing LCD makes up for the lack of visual "wow" the unit has otherwise. Nice card remote, excellent skip protection.

Weaknesses:
LCD (though color changing) is kinda blah.

Summary:
If funtionality is your hot button and low price is a quick second, wow what a deal. I put this little ditty in a 94 Ford Ranger and have been VERY happy with it. It offers an aux port (located in the back of the deck), MP3 playback, CD Changer Controlls, XM Ready, Remote, 52x4 output (I have an amp on it, so I dont care), triple set of RCA pre-outs. It could use a fancier LCD, but for the money I wont gripe at all
