Sharp CD-ES600 5-Disc Shelf System (Silver) Review
We purchased two of these shelf systems and are very pleased with them. I am giving this model a five-star rating because, for the price, it is a great unit. Obviously it can't compare to a ,000 component stereo system, but unless you need the walls to shake or require every feature available, it doesn't make sense to spend money on a full-size system. With 240-watts of power, this unit has more than enough volume (I never have it more than 1/4 of the way up except to see what it can do) and has a surprising amount of bass for that size speakers. It even has a bass booster button, which is especially usefull when using low volume. The functions are easy to use and the manual is easy to understand. Instead of the normal carousel type disk changer, it has five separate trays. I don't see any advantage or disadvantage in either system. Perhaps it is easier to change CDs while still playing the others - something I don't do myself. I find it to be an attractive looking unit and the controls are easy to see and to use.
On the negative side: The cassett deck does not play in both directions (auto reverse), which is a feature on more expensive units. There is no auxillary imput so we cannot hook it up to our TV for better sound. The speaker cables were too short for my needs, although they would be sufficient had I placed the speakers within my entertainment center cabinet. I mearly spliced additional wiring to lengthen them (just make sure you keep the polarity correct). (Had Sharp made the leads twice as long, there would probably be complaints from having to stash the extra wiring someplace or that there is needless power loss due to the excessive wire lenths. You can't please everybody.)
All in all, I think you get a lot for the money.

Sharp CD-ES600 5-Disc Shelf System (Silver) Overview
Compact enough to fit inconspicuously in a bedroom or kitchen but powerful enough to blow the roof off a house party, the Sharp CD-ES600 shelf system offers a convenient way to enjoy your favorite CDs, AM/FM stations, and audiocassettes without purchasing several separate components. The CD-ES600 supports a hefty 120 watts per channel, making CDs and cassettes come alive in almost any room. Because of the high power output, your music will sound crisp and full-bodied whether you've cranked the volume or set it to fill in the gaps of casual conversation. In addition, it's easy to keep the music flowing thanks to the five-disc CD changer, which includes a play-exchange function so you can continue listening to one CD while swapping out the others. Other basic CD features include random and repeat play and compatibility with CD-R and CD-RW discs.
Meanwhile, the dual cassette deck offers full-logic controls and auto-reverse playback for effortless extended listening. Listeners can also dub from tape to tape, or they can set the cassette deck to record or play at a specific time so they don't miss a favorite radio program. The tuner is also full featured, with 40 AM/FM presets that make it easy to quickly access the station of your choice, along with a memory scan that does the surfing for you.
The system's impressive audio performance stems not only from its pair of powerful two-way speakers with 5.12-inch woofers and side passive radiators, but also from its series of preset equalizers, which automatically apply equalization to your audio source. The system offers a dozen equalization modes: six for music, and six for video games and movies. Listeners can also boost the low frequencies by activating the X-Bass function.
Additional features include stereo RCA analog inputs that accommodate an external device such as a DVD player, MP3 player, or VCR; a headphone jack for private listening; a built-in clock and sleep timer; and a full-function remote control. The main unit measures 10.25 by 13 by 12.88 inches (W x H x D) and is Energy Star compliant, meaning it meets all federal guidelines for energy efficiency. It's also covered by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.
