All I'm looking for is a machine to play professionally recorded CDs that has good sound qualities. Is this one it?

Sounds very good to me. I am very satisfied with The sound is excellent for playing CDs. I also wired it into my cable TV receiver and can listen to beautiful music all day without turning on the TV. Over all, the unit is well worth the price and I would not hesitate to do it again.Very pleased with the performance of Sharp CD-DHS1050P.

I hesitated to answer because it may be a matter of opinion, but then again, you are asking for an opinion. Here it goes: I think the sound is just great. Considering there are music systems for over a grand, this one looks fine, it fits in my limited space, and the sound is good. I am really pleased that I made the choice to purchase this machine!

This unit has very good sound quality. I use it to play CDs in our Ballroom that is approximately 60' x 80' and the music fills the room. The only negative thing is I was told the unit will SHUFFLE all the CDs, however, it will only SHUFFLE one CD at a time. After discussing this with the Sharp Co. they agreed the information on their literature should be changed and be more exact. I do live in a retirement community, so this unit was bought for our dancing and listening enjoyment. Hope this helps.

I am pleased with this unit as far as CD's -- professionally recorded and burned. The only problem I have is the tuner. If radio station is not clear (even if it sounds perfect), unit cuts off in approx. 15 minutes.

Hello. I am having no luck with the CD-R's I have bought. Is there and brand that actually works in this machine? Thanks for your time, troy.

Sony CD's work very well. As long as the CD's say MUSIC (as in CD-R music) and have a purple wrapping label, they work very well, much better than any other brand. I even record them on my 1999 Gateway computer instead of my new computer. Also, if you record the songs at the SLOWEST POSSIBLE SPEED, they will record much better and be usable on many more types of players. All newer things are made for MORE SPEED, and don't work nearly as well as a slower speed. I don't like the way my new computer records songs so I use my antique computer. My 1999 computer has a place to record a CD and another place to play a CD. Newer computers only have one place to RECORD & PLAY a CD. Like everything else, older stuff is much better than new stuff, (be it cars, computers, or anything else). On my 1999 computer I can do so many more things working on a project than I can on my new computer, it is HARD TO BELIEVE. My 1999 HP all-in one printer is also much better than my new HP all-in-one printer. The only thing better on my new computer that is better is SPEED, not what it can do. I have tried all brands of CD's and "SONY CD-R music" CD's are by far the best in quality, what types of players they're played in, and how long they last. My CD's are recorded on my computer and work very well in my 1995 Trans Am, 2005 Bonneville GXP, either one of my 2 CD players in my Stereo, and in both my 1999 computer and my new computer. Memorex is about the only CD that you can buy in all stores anymore and they are not very good in quality or how long they last. SONY IS THE BEST.

This model is a good one for that. It has great sound and is fairly easy to operate. It is not too expensive and also plays mp3 cds.

The only cds played on it as far as I know are 1D cds that were purchased. What else did you have in mind? Maybe I can try them for you.

Yes, it has phono (record player) and CD input. Your question was cutoff about output. It's a good amplifier, I like it a lot.

Yes, the machine is supposed to have that capability. You should be able to record to CD from vinyl records and AM/FM radio.

It plays all Cd's either bought at store or made on computer. The sound is great for Cd's and other devices. Radio reception is not the best but otherwise good machine

Only if you want the audio to have all sorts of buzz and noise on it... For the cheapest available "acceptable" quality (for casual use) interface, I would suggest the Behringer UCA202. It's not great, but at least it's relatively clean-sounding, especially compared to this.

It does play CD's. May want to explore other players unless the price is unbeatable.

I see a lot of discussion about guitar. Would this machine work to record piano and cello for competition CDs?

All depends on your CD player you are comparing to, but I have a $100,000 system, and this Sony unit sounds just as good as my HD CD player, so I use it all the time because access can de done from the comfort of my chair. My guess is, it will sound better than 99% of the CD players out there, and equal the other 1%.

anyone have any thoughts? my primary use would be music, both (admittedly out of date) CDs and mp3

I think it sounds pretty good and would compare it to many of the sound systems of the 80s ... I get good stereo; it's dolby and digital ... I wouldn't consider this item a top of the line Audio System ... There are better sound systems around, depending on your budget ... The question is do you need a more expensive system ??? ... I have a DVD player hooked up to this and my music CDs play just fine ... The stereo and surround sound quality are pretty good especially since I hooked the satellite speakers behind the couch and the remote woofer on one side of the couch ... Visio makes more expensive systems if you are looking for more and of course, you could always by a Bose System ... My opinion is unless you are a true audiophile, this system is good enough whether you are watching an HD Movie or listening your favorite CDs ... I'm satisfied ... Hope this info is helpful?
