 Hard to read buttons April 8, 2008
The sound seems good so far. There are fewer and fewer players on the market that can take casette tapes, so I guess I shouldn't be too critical. Two problems though. The first is that the labels for the buttons are in black type on black plastic, making it difficult to know what button to use. I'm sure I'll be fine with this after I've memorized all the functions. Until then I'll be using a flashlight to figure it all out. The second issue is about the preset radio stations. There are ten possible presets, but you go through them only in one direction. This means that you have to go through all the empty ones (staticky) to get back to preset 1, 2, 3 again. I had a Sony that had a little wheel for this, so you could go backwards as well as forwards. Generally, the functions aren't very intuitive, as someone else mentioned. I wouldn't give it to anyone over forty. If you're going to buy it, get a little flashlight too.
 Wouldn't turn on or work in any way. March 26, 2008
I had to return this CD player. Only the radio worked faintly, but couldn't change stations or the volume. The CD tray was stuck in open mode and couldn't get it to close. Nothing worked.
poorly designed March 21, 2008
Ive owned this radio for six months and im totally unhappy with the design. I dont like the push buttons for volume and other options. Sorry if i seem dopey but still have trouble figuring out how to select radio stations. A unit like this should be self explanatory and not need to read the book to learn how to use it. i only use it for playing cd's as i cant figure out the radio..yes, i know, just read the manual. im too stubborn. like i said, it should be self explanatory..whoever designed it was not on the ball and im not buying any other RCA products from here on in. now that im head of household i can make my own decisions and for thirty five dollars i feel jipped. im not a dummy either as i didnt take long to figure out my beautiful electronic fancy electric stove on my own..didnt use a manual for that..as long as you can read you can figure it out.
 Perfectly adequate December 21, 2007

I was looking for a cheap boom box that would be loud enough to dance too without sucking down batteries at an alarming rate. This fit the bill perfectly. The sound is surprisingly good (as well as loud enough) for something so inexpensive. As a plus, it is nice and light too. It is obviously cheaply built - the buttons are loose, and the CD tray needs coaxing. But given it's price, it is a great little machine. And it does play CDs I burned without coaxing, which is more than I can say for my last CD player.
Poor Quality December 1, 2007

A couple of weeks after purchasing this product, the buttons started getting stuck when clicked. In addition, the sound quality is horrible and the CD player is very sensitive to even a slightly dirty CD.
