Sony CDX-565MXRF 10-Disc CD Changer

Pros: Plays mp3's, works with any headunit, built in RF modulator.

Cons: Slow disc changes, finicky about media.

The Bottom Line: If you still like regular CD's as well as mp3's, this is a good choice. Otherwise, the interface leaves something to be desired.

Review: I tend to ramble a bit in my reviews before I get started on functionality (see, I'm doing it already), so if you'd rather skip to the meat of the review, scroll down about three paragraphs. If you want to know the intricacies of my thought...

Pros: Plays mp3s, easy to use, hardly any moving parts

Cons: Long install, chinsy magazines, slow load times

The Bottom Line: I would buy this, but don't expect superior quality.

Review: Well, first of all, I bought this changer because I wanted mp3 playback and didn't feel like changing my head unit. With that said, take everything here as face value.

I bought this changer for a total of $170, including the...

Pros: Advertised cool features: mp3, skip-buffer, fast disc change, radio frequency

Cons: Doesn't work as advertised, mp3s must be on CD-RW discs, no skip-buffer, slow

The Bottom Line: If you want to play MP3 files, you'll be disappointed, find a different model!

Review: After several long months of frustration and several exchanged units and discussions with various people at Sony, its time for my review of the Sony CDX-565MXRF CD Changer. If you want the short summary: DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT IF YOU WANT TO PLAY...

Pros: None..

Cons: Dead right out of the box... so much for Sony's quality control

The Bottom Line: Don't waste you time and money.. it's junk.

Review: When I originally read the reviews here on this product and then saw the new CDX-565MXRF I realised it had changed and thought Sony had realised they had a problem and fixed it. Not so...

I purchased mine a Future Shop in Canada for...

Pros: You'll run out of GAS before you run out of music. 12 second anti-skip.

Cons: Only one display color(blue), not much of a fault.

The Bottom Line: If your a person with common sense, look no further.

Review: I don't understand what the other reviewers are talking about. I recorded a cd on a bulk Staples brand cd at top speed and it plays perfectly. Could be they don't know what they are doing? Didn't close the session? I can't say. I only know that I...

Pros: 120 hours of music in your trunk, works with any headunit

Cons: Display is too bright and cryptic, no bass and treble controls

The Bottom Line: Nothing can beat having 120 music albums available to you to listen when you drive

Review: Friend of mine got this changer first and I was a little sceptical about it after reading reviews on the net. My friend didn't have skipping problems and I decided to give the changer a try as well. I got the changer 3 weeks ago and it works as...

Pros: Remote shows MP3 ID Tags, wireless remote is cool, installation is easy. Low cost.

Cons: Very unreliable with MP3 disks, skips music all the time.

The Bottom Line: Do not buy it for MP3 music.

Review: I was excited to get this unit installed in my Acura TL so that I could use the excellent factory stereo and play MP3 CDs through the radio. After many months of frustration, this morning I replaced the Sony unit with an Alpine CHA-S634 and it works...

Pros: Plays mp3's, easy install, doesn't skip

Cons: display unit doesn't use a constant scroll for the song title

The Bottom Line: i recommend this changer for the mp3 playback and the and the ease of install.

Review: Before i bought this cd changer i had read a couple of the reviews and was concerned about playing mp3's. Well i had a lot of the same problems that most people talked about, i could play burned cd's without a problem but, my mp3 cd's kept on...

Pros: Sounds great, even on factory speakers and doubled up frequency.

Cons: Not very rugged or had poor quality control at manufacture.

Review: I've had this unit for just over a year and it worked well until it started getting flaky and finally quit; just after the 1 year warranty expired of course. It would only light up junk on the wired remote and not play, just shut down. I will admit...

Pros: Automatically switches discs

Cons: Choppy MP3 playing

The Bottom Line: Would avoid if you can't avoid VBR encoded songs. Otherwise, this player is a bargain.

Review: Like others here I too have trouble with MP3 choppiness, even when parked with the engine off. I have not had ANY other problems. All discs load fine, it only takes a few seconds to change discs, the wireless remote has a good "broadcaster" so you...
