Those looking for a CD player beware
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this unit a little over a year ago from Best Buy on significant markdown. The bluetooth receiver works fine. I don't listen to the radio much anymore, but the radio receiver works fine too. The sound quality is pretty good given the size of the unit. The issue is that the CD player function, which is what I primarily bought it for, is very hit or miss. I'm a GenXer with a sizeable CD collection and some of my CDs are not available on music streaming platforms, so it's nice to have a CD player so I can listen to those. This is the second multi-disc player I've purchased in the past half decade and both turned out to have serious issues. The other was an Onkyo 6 disc CD carousel that worked fine for a year and a half or so but now every CD I put in it skips like crazy. I bought it to replace an old Yamaha multi disc carousel that lasted for 25-30 years. Anyway, this Sharp unit was marked down and seemed like a good deal so I bought it. CD playback was fine for a month or so. Then, it stopped playing certain CDs entirely. Others certain tracks would reliably skip. These are not CDs I ripped but CDs I purchased from stores. All of these CDs play flawlessly on an old 90s era under cabinet mount CD player clock radio that we have in our kitchen, so the CDs are in good enough shape to play on other devices. Honestly, none are significantly scratched or anything. So, I contacted Sharp about the issue and they said the unit doesn't support MP3 file formats and thought the issue was a file format incompatibility. Well, all of these CDS are purchased from stores and presumably NOT MP3 files, nor are they Apple music file formats. Besides which, after resetting the unit one of the CDs that refused to play before the reset played back flawlessly. But then within a few days it no longer played back at all, once again. That is not a file format issue - there's no way resetting the unit could have made it suddenly capable of reading file formats that aren't supported only to STOP reading those formats a few days later. The CD itself...the file format isn't changing. So, it's some other problem. Anyway, it does play most of my CDs flawlessly. Others there's some minor skipping on certain tracks, or it just won't play certain tracks. Others it will detect the CD well enough to count the tracks but can't play a single note of music. And then there are CDs I insert and it says "no disc" so it isn't reading those at all. I'd guesstimate that it fails in some way to acceptably play about a quarter to a third of the CDs I try to play. I've heard that CDs are starting to come back as a popular music format...well, based on my 0-2 experience with recently purchased players I have to say consumer electronics brands are going to have to improve their quality by leaps and bounds because a music format can't come back into vogue if the players they build to play that format won't. So, I give it 2 stars based on the sound quality and the fact that two of the three functions work fine, but really, it shouldn't be this hard to find a decent quality multi disc CD player in this day and age.

Cd collection?
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Stereo has a nice appearance devoid of brightly colored plastic accents and pulsating lights. The stereo looks fine on display anywhere in the house. More importantly, the sound quality is great. The two way speakers sound better than expected. If you have a large cd collection, this stereo is for you!

Nice compact stereo system.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quick shipment to local UPS store for safe pick up. Given as early Christmas gift. Sounds good and is liked by recipient. Nice to have the CD player that holds multiple CD's. Have many CD's to use with it. Would recommend. Best Buy did a good job of shipment. Note - if you are ordering for a gift the box is plainly marked what is inside with pics and text. Won't work for a surprise if delivered to your door.

Great for the money.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have really enjoyed this stereo. The sound quality is excellent. The controls have a bit of a learning curve, and even now, some nights I still wonder how did it do that! It will not shuffle between disks which is a downer, but I still highly recommend it.

Great sound, garish display
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was glad to find a system that had all the features I need. Of course it won't be perfect as CD players are not a home sound system priority for electronics companies to make, but it does the job--CDs and Bluetooth and the very occasional radio reception--just fine. But I've had to unplug it because the display is non-stop even when the device is "off" It's like Times Square, don't have it in your bedroom at night if you like any level of dark. Houseguests sleeping in the living room can see the movement of the display bouncing off the walls of the adjacent room where it's located. A minor issue but if you like your music in the dark in your room it might cause a problem. Times Square I am not exaggerating (that much)!
