My first player was a Sony MDP-510, bought new in 1990. It was easily the worst player I have ever owned in terms of both performance and reliability. Even my Pioneer CLD-D701, which is a very poor player for a Pioneer and which I would never recommend to anyone, just whomps the crap out of the Sony in terms of performance and is still functional after nearly 10 years. The performance on my Sony deteriorated so far after just a few years that I gave it to my parents to use as a CD player. It then developed a drawer problem (a dreadfully common defect on both the MDP-510 and MDP-333 players) and was subsequently junked. It was a nice looking machine with a cool remote but was unfortunately a piece of junk.
