Better than Sony

I've tried Sansui, JVC, and Sony, and this machine played more types of media, at better quality, than any of them. I also have an old Apex 1500 that plays everything--best machine I've ever encountered. I think because Sony is a content provider, they make their machines unresponsive to any media that may be copied, even their booklet says the machine won't play DVDs or CDs with stickers, etc. on them.
