Amazon.com Product Description
The CFD-ZW755 CD/radio cassette recorder sports a convenient handle so your tunes can go anywhere you do, whether you're blasting tunes for friends or listening in private through the supplied stereo headphones. The unit's CD player uses a one-bit digital-to-analog audio converter for pristine sound, and audio CD-R/CD-RW compatibility means the box will play your home-brewed music mixes as well as prerecorded CDs. The CFD-ZW755 includes a digital AM/FM stereo tuner, too. Four electronic sound modes (rock/pop/jazz/vocal) let you tailor the sound for listening to various different types of music or in different environments, while Mega Bass sound enhances low-frequencies in any sound mode. Perfect for parties, the unit comes with Sony's Loop/Flash sound effects. Loop continuously repeat a few seconds of music, while Flash provides intermittent playback for a DJ-like stuttering effect. With synchronized CD/cassette dubbing, CD playback commences just after cassette recording begins. The stereo record/playback cassette deck provides direct recording from either the tuner, the CD player, or another cassette. Other features include four-inch detachable speakers and 20-track CD programming. The unit runs on the supplied AC power cord or six D batteries. What's in the Box

 radio is useless, CD player is dying. December 20, 2008
I bought this 6 years ago but should have returned it immediately. Although I live in a large city the FM reception is practically non-existant. The antenna has to be set just right to pick up the strongest station in town, but even that dissolves in interference when a person or pet walks across the room or a car goes down the street. I've tried the antenna at different lengths and attached wires and foil to it to no avail. The AM reception is no prize either; the box has to be re-oriented just right every time you change the station.
Now the CD player is dying. At first cleaning the lens helped a little but not anymore. Either the disc won't play at all or only plays the first few tracks, then spins out of control making a chattering noise. This is after very light CD use over the years. When it works it only plays factory CDs; it doesn't take CD-RW or mp3, and is very touchy about CD-Rs.
That leaves the dual cassette players....they make a lot of mechanical noise when playing, and dubbing from deck to deck yields poor quality copies. Of course the cassette decks are purely mechanical, meaning they can't be remote controlled.
This box convinced me Sony's days as a quality brand are over and is only cruising on its past reputation. The products lately are in the same class as Emerson & other cheapie store brands - preferring visual flash to catch kids' eyes while disguising junk inside.
Still plays fine after 7 years December 9, 2008

While searching for a newer boombox with SD/Flash reading capabilities, I was amazed to see the Sony box that I purchased over seven years ago still in production. Let me just say that no boombox, relative to a mid-priced stereo receiver, is going to give you awsome sound, despite the claims. However, this box is very solidly built and has a warm, rich bass sound that does not distort. Turn it up almost to the highest setting and it still plays cleanly. Literally, I have left the box out in light rain and the remote control in a downpour, and the both still work flawlessly. It is a fairly large and heavy unit as far as portable players go. Yet, that is a testament to the build quality and music quality produced by the unit.
I give it less than 5 stars primarily because it is dated. If you are still playing cassettes and CD's this is a great unit to consider. If you are moving towards the digital music age, intending to reap the rewards of an Mp3 device or small storage card, then this unit is not to be considered. Quite frankly, I'm tired of dragging jewel cases out when I want to listen to music on the patio or elsewhere. I want to be able to transfer several albums of music files off my PC to a SD card that fits in the palm of my hand.
The other reason that I reduced by a star is due to the overpricing. I paid about $100 for the Box over seven years ago. Generally, the price of electronic products does not inflate.
 SOUND MATTERS~!!!! by SONY~!!!! December 3, 2008
I am VERY particular about the sound, what else~!? If you are looking for ANY sound system, without quality, its like without engine on racing car. This boom box certain has a sound, and turn on/off base feature is extremely useful in case you listen to Natural peaceful music to Heavy duty Rockn'Roll. Now, it even has double cassette deck which now days are extremely hard to find. You can still play your old cassette tape or record onto your tape from tape, or from your favorite CD. I have mine on a book shelf in my home office which fit it in my room perfectly with sleek classy looks. All I have to do is to use the remote control across the room to play my tune. I believe this will be the last best kind on the market for multi station, soon it will be hard to get, especially with the quality of its sound and for the value. GET IT WHITE IT IS AVAILABLE.
 not a portable May 24, 2008

This is an okay machine, but it should not be called portable. Just because it has a handle, it isn't portable. It is too heavey and awkward to carry with the speakers attached. Also--it does not fit in small spaces.
Boom Box Delight!! April 5, 2008

I am so impressed with the sound and quality of my new musical experience. The Lindy Ladies Dance team enjoys the volumn available from the "easy to carry", player. Great value.
