i had a sony deck, and it would sometimes take 3-4 tryes to load the cd, , it only accepted half of my cd collection.   

Go with an Eclipse or an Alpine and you will be much more pleased.  Even the cheepest of the 2 brands will impress the heck out of you with years of trouble free performance.

Ok, Here's my 2 cents.
I've run into the same problems with all the sony decks I've had. The skipping is the most common problem. I had one that would ONLY read burned cd's so even when I actually went out and bought someone's new cd....i had to burn a copy to play it in the car. And when it was time to eject the cd, I had to hit the dash for that to happen. Their TV's suck too!!! Spend the extra money and get a Eclipse or Alpine. Either one will last alot longer. Even clarion or sanyo (yeah...sanyo) head units last longer than sony.

I have had a cheezy sony deck for the last two years and they are ok if you can deal with the skipping and the non ejecting disk problems. Oh yeah there is a problem with the text on the screens getting garbled too... and the sound quality sucks as well (turn it up past half way and you get very bad distorsion). I am getting an alpine deck very soon. Sony sucks. Oh yeah dont buy their subwoofers, they rate them funny (300 watts rms sony = 150 rms everyone else), plus they sound like sh*t. I tested out a pair of the five sided subs in my jeep A couple of weeks before they were sold to the public (they were on display in a local car audio place)with my alpine mrd-m500 amp 500w rms @2ohms, and i was maxing out the sub with my volume only at half way!!!. my bass boost on my amp was at only at +6db and my gain was set correctly. needless to say that i didn't buy those subs!!!
sorry about my anti sony rant, but my experience with sony has been nothing but bad.
