 Not exactly what I wanted but works well enough. July 28, 2008

This can be pro or con depending on the person but it is bigger and heavier (especially with 6 D batteries) than I expected. I know this was written in the specs but you just can't always imagine it from written descriptions. The sound is not as good as I expected but acceptable. The speakers are not as rugged as the rest of the unit. They are the typical indoor paper fiber material and not polypropylene or some similar water resistant material. This is a big problem since when a speaker gets damaged your investment is basically toasted. The rest of the unit is adequately water resistant with rubber buttons and covers.
The CD player plays my MP3 CDs very well but lacks a read ahead buffer to prevent skipping when being carried or moved. I use this on my boat. When lifting from one place to another the music stops and skips or stops altogether until the power is turned off and on again. Forget using it if the boat is moving over a little choppy water. This is a serious deficiency in my opinion for a boombox considered ruggedized. It is probably my fault but I also cannot find the ability to shuffle play as indicated in the specifications on Amazon.com.
Compared to anything else out there considered a rugged boombox with CD/MP3 playback, this is the best buy but only because of the lack of anything else competing with it. Sony should have done better.
Decent sound and durability July 25, 2008
This radio has been subjected to a severe thunderstorm and is still working! The only complaint on it is the size. It's HUGE!!! Sounds good and is very durable.
 Outstanding Boombox Stereo CD AM-FM Player July 17, 2008
This is an outstanding product. Easy to use and work with, and outstanding sound. It even has Sound ports for the bass to bring out that right there sound. I own a bose acoustic wave portable, and this comes close to the sound quality of the bose.

Don't purchase this product unless you don't want to hear your tunes. The maximum volume on this product is terrible. Very disappointed in Sony!!!!
