Sharp CD-XP500 300-Watt Compact Stereo System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After searching high and low for a new stereo system, I finally settled on this one. I don't know anything about the technical specs, but I knew that this had nearly twice as many watts as an Aiwa for the same price. My RCA served me well for the last 3-4 years and needed replacing because the CD player developed a problem of not reading the discs properly. I'd load up the carousel with five CD's and then it would do the inital scan for disc length and such and then show "NO DISC." So I got this one. The blue backlit display is what really sold it for me.
A few problems with it though. With the RCA, i could press the disc skip button five times and it would spin all the way around without stopping. With the Sharp, if you pressed it numerous times, it would turn to the next disc, stop for a few seconds, then you'd have to press it again. This works the same with all functions, i.e. you can't go right through all your presets by holding down the buttons. Another problem that I had was that the clock wouldn't be on a permanent display when the system is off, and there was no light on the power button. These might be small things to some, but I've grown accustomed to them with the RCA.
As for sound quality, the RCA can't really compare in clarity. Both have good base, but the RCA always seemed to have a hiss to it, no matter what was playing. Sharp and many other companies probably don't have problems with this though.
