didn't like it (stoped between layers and a cheap feel) so I returned it. Sony's lack a display and most of what I play is CD's, I do not want tv on just to listen to cd's.

Owners manual almost useless, No english next to keys on remote control, (although most are easy to work or have symbols and has good backlighting) and does not display track info on display (although does on Tv) when playing CD's.
