Now to begin with on this deck I have to say that the listed price of $280 is not anything close to what I got this deck for. I would have to say that this epinion is for the online music store Crutchfield along with this deck. At Crutchfield I got this deck for $230. Now I had a Sony a while back and that deck is what sent my business back to Sony. Sony makes very reliable products in which I have never been disappointed with. The C-4750 is about the middle of the pack as far as CD decks available from Sony today.
Features
To begin with the deck has a detachable face, which is useful for security reasons. If you live in a large city and fear your stereo being stolen, there is a simple little button you hit and it releases the face, and then snaps on easily when it's time to drive again. This allows the appearance of no CD player and/or just discourages any would-be thieves to simply not bother with your car. Now the design of this decks face is very well engineered. The volume is a large dial that is easy to crank up, or to just turn it up a few notches on those really good songs. The track skip is a little tab that sticks out from behind the volume dial, and so you don't have to take your eyes off the road to make sure where your hand is going to push. Up for the next track and down for the previous track. The system has a 40x4 watts/channel which means that even with a stock set of speakers that this deck is able to power the system very well. I have since added an amplifier to this system which was simple to do, since the rear of the deck has the appropriate amplifier output plugs. And it allows up to two amplifiers not just one. On top of the built in power the deck has a feature called D-Bass which pumps up the bass in the music immediately. You can then either to continue to bump up the treble or bass through the systems easy to adjust sound controls, in which you select what you want to adjust and then use the volume dial to set the sound as you want it.
Over all this deck doesn't really seem to have many flaws, but one option that the deck promised either seemed to not work, or the CD's that I am using are not able to use the feature. The feature is the disc name memory option. In which you hold a button for about 5 seconds, and then the deck will allow you to enter the name of the tracks on the disc and the discs name and artist too. I have tried to use this option time and time again only for it to sit there and do nothing. Now I think that the discs I am using are the problem, because I have gotten two or three of my CD's to work with it.
This deck along with it's price range and options and power make it a great selection for anyone who is in the market for a quality deck that won't break your budget. Again I would highly recommend that you shop at Crutchfield.com to find this deck or any other system, for they have the right prices and they give you all the equipment you need to install the system yourself.
