 Not bad but not perfect either April 8, 2007

OK. I bought this player the week it was released, over 4 years ago, and it still works like the day I bought it. It is used on a toolmakers workbench, and can easily fill the shop with nice smooth sound. No it does not have mega-bass as the button suggests, and you'd best leave it on all the time. My main complaint is that the MP3 decoder circuit is not fully compliant. Many Mp3 files have returned the error, "NOT MP3". And when using LAME encoding at any VBR settings, the player does not know what to do with the silence between tracks, and makes a 2 second "BRAPPPP" which is quite annoying. And when I contacted Sony for a firmware upgrade, the tech man said it is not upgradeable. That was a big mistake on Sony's part since encoding technology is being improved everyday and is often not backwards compatible. Many much cheaper players for CD and DVD can be upgraded and I will look for that feature for sure next time. But as I said, it does function within limits and is easy to keep clean, though now the writing on the controls is wearing off. I have made many 12hr plus CD's using a lower grade 128Kbit CBR sampling rate and the sound and convenience are quite acceptable. Also it does read up to 95minute CDr's with no trouble as well.
Sturdy, but too much treble May 28, 2005

This boom box is well made, but it hurt my ears. Seriously, this thing needs a subwoofer. Even with the Mega Bass on, it's too treble. It's like it has only two settings: high pitched and higher pitched. I'm a big fan of bass, so I like to hear that deep sound as the foundation of the music. I didn't hear it with this unit. I returned mine and got a boom box with a subwoofer. If you don't care about the bass or the ability to adjust the sound beyond two settings, this box might be fine for you.
 Nice CD Player May 17, 2005
I bought this cd player about 8 months ago for my 5 year old. It is a replacement for the Disney cd boomboxes that never worked. (See my review)
A hundred bucks might seem a little excessive to spend on a radio for a 5 yr. old, but considering all this one has to offer I think it'll be worth it in the long run.
1. This radio is built tough. The carry handle is molded into the body. One less thing to break. This one has survived many trips into the backyard. the antenna also folds straight down ito the radio so it is completely out of the way when not in use.
2. It's light weight. Even filled with batteries, it's light enough for a 5 yr. old to carry around.
3. There are not a lot of complicated buttons and switches. This one is pretty straight forward and easy to use.
4. It's got great sound quality for a cd boombox this size.
This cd player seems like it will last a long time. At about twice the price of the ones that NEVER worked at all, I think that this one is a bargain.

I got this radio to replace the one I used in the shower while doing my make-up and getting ready in the morning... This radio is so lightweight and crystal clear... The sounds is amazing, the controls are SOOO easy to use.... The CD player works with amazing ease... I cannot say enough about this radio... It was a gift from a friend and I'm forever in his debt..... Donna Marie

This stereo is really good if you need to bring it with you a lot. I've had mine for about a year and it still works as good as it did when it came out of the box. The only problem I had was that the antenna broke after the second week of having it, but still get good reception on the radio. It sounds really good, the bass on it is really deep and doesn't distort the sound, even at high volume.
