Sony name is now a cliche' If the put it in a new 500K motorcoach from Holiday Rambler it must be good?? right??? WRONG..it's crap

it's a SONY. The controls are awkward from the drivers side. The controls are too tiny to read. The unit is so poorly made I think it must be made in VietNam

this is garbage at its best.
1)The tape player function broke before a year
2)the CD function broke in a few months
3)the whole thing failed in 4 years

Plays tapes and CD's. Also controls a CD changer in the trunk, and a MiniDisc changer as well!

Great product!

Great sound, plays CD-R's, easy to use display not full of wildly flashing lights

No mute button

Paid $570. Just wanted to chip after reading the other 2 negative reviews. Bought last December - had no problems with it at all - sounds great, drives the speakers just fine, used the CD a ton and the tape player some. Strong radio reception (pulls in San Diego stations in Santa Barbara) - no real complaints at all. Plays old CD's, scratched CD's, cheap CD-R's.
Obviously not for everyone, but a decent, no nonsense double DIN unit.

This head unit sounds great when it works properly. It also has a rotory volume control dial which I like.

The tape player component broke the first day I owned the unit. The Sound Advise store where I bought the product has been giving me the run-around but finally replaced it....with one which had a broken CD and Tape unit! (I tested it before I left the shop) Now I have my old unit back (with a broken tape player) and am still on hold at the store.

I would not recommend buying this product or any other Sony product. I would also not recommend purchasing automotive audio equipment from any Sound Advise location. I make this recommendation to those who wish to minimize or eliminate the psychological stress and trama I have undergone during this head-unit shopping experience.

This product is pure quality.

It is too weak to drive my factory Bose speakers.It skips a lot. The cassette quality is poor.It is also overpriced. This is the worst CD-player I had. I now own a panasonic cd-player which i replaced for this sony unit. I recommend not buying this product.

Sound quality is ok. The CD player on mine has trouble grabbing the disc.
Supports power antennas.

CD Player has trouble grabbing the disc. Each time I eject a CD the engine just keeps going!!!!!! For about a minute. Trashed the speakers on my car.

The sound quality is ok. The CD player is a big pain is the A**!
I trashed my car speakers, so I had to spend some more money on changing those. Overall I think that my factory system can do better than that!!!!
