Summary: Will not play CD-R
Review: If you make your own audio CDs at home, don't buy the Sony units. Sony decided to leave the capability out of their units to play CD-R. I bought one, got it home and learned the lesson the hard way. I returned the unit for a refund. Buy the Pioneer, Phillips, JVC or Denon units that will play CD-R.

Summary: Great Picture and features, but not a simple player
Review: If you want to pop in a few DVDs or CDs and just play them, this is a great player. Basic use is straightforward, but it does so many other things that a few hours with the instruction manual is necessary to figure it all out. Swapping disks while one is playing is a handy feature (although doing it while the shuffle play is on will cause the current track to end). With all the great features this player has, I am suprised that it won't play CD-Rs. Otherwise, this is a fine player with the best picture I have seen in a DVD player like this, and a great, new lower price that Amazon is offering.
