The sound of this player is first rate. The player itself seems to have no sound of its own, all you hear is the music. My old (1989) Sony sounded harsh in comparison. I tried the more expensive players and the only thing I think you got with the expensive players was more expensive materials, not better sound (often it was worse, but there are many who think more expensive must mean better). The player has all sorts of useless programming tricks and couple that may be useful for recording to tape: Signal peak search and automatic layout of the tracks to fit the tape recording time. Reliability remains to be seen. |

Ripped Off. Bought a Yamaha CDC565 5 DISC CD Player. 3 days after the warranty expired the machine will not play discs. It simply rotates through the whole tray, then freezes up. Bought the unit at the good guys! in Seattle for US$170. It would cost me about US$100 to ship it back to them. Yamaha you got me. |

I have owned this CD player for 2.5 years now. It has great sound, but the controls are annoying and the tray is very noisy. |

I have had this player for several years now, and I just love the way it sounds. First, I will get the one negative out of the way. The tray is noisy when it spins. You hear it zing between discs. This is uncharacteristic of Yamaha's quality in my experience. Now the good stuff. Ergonomics are quite good overall in my opinion. You get direct track access via the front panel buttons. Most players do not have track buttons on the front. Instead they leave you to press the FWD button over and over to get to your favorite song. |

Very good sound for the price. The only thing that i don't like about it is that the tray makes a lot of noise. |

Just purchased the 755 model. It was on clearance for $299. I am very pleased with the product. It replaces my Onkyo Integra which served me faithfully for several years. The sound on my 755 is definitely softer but yet remains very clean. I guess I could describe it as richer without muffling any ranges. I frequently record audio tapes and the tape editing feature which automatically programs the tracks you choose, into the length of tape you're using is great for me. I own and recommend Yamaha products. Their low end products exceed many other manufacturers mid to high end products. This cd player I feel, would be compatible with any system. A five star for sound quality, a four star for design. Personally I want sound first. |
