excellent quality & price, 02/08/2010

More than met my expectations. Would have liked
auto-reverse on the cassette and an input jack for
a mixing mike, but hey, for the price and performance I'm experiencing I'm well satisfied.

Not up to SONY usual quality, 02/03/2010
By Kingswarrior2000, Finger Lakes, N.Y.
Overall Rating: 3 out of 5 3 out of 5

I bought this at Sears for $44, I kept it a few days and returned it because the enhanced bass barely made any difference and the antenna didn't pull signals very well, where severeal other boomboxes I have had, did. Also, the cassette player was a little noisy. Overall, not recommended.

BOOM BOX WITH CASSETTE PLAYER, 01/25/2010
By bluestormsnow, Chicago Il.
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

I got this boom box for the cassette player. It's inexpensive and a good value. The sound is good, not stereo but good. You have to turn the cassette tape over manually to play the other side. The radio, and CD player works well.

Great Value, 01/23/2010
By Lookn4Valu, Charlestown, IN
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

I just bought this Sony player to replace another player I'd for about 10 years. I chose Sony because of the quality of my Sony TV and because this player had good reviews online.

I love the smaller, sleeker profile of this model, as compared to the larger Sony models found at a couple of the electronics retailers. It was less expensive, and it's so much more attractive.

I'm completely satisfied. I like simplicity. The controls are easy to read and to operate. And I was pleased with the sound, which is just as good as what I've heard on larger models.

As an added bonus, this model was able to pick up 8 or 10 radio stations. Where I live, my other radios can barely pick up one. Perhaps, this is just due to newer technology. But it was a nice surprise.

A remote would have been a nice addition. But I was more than willing to trade the convenience of a remote control for the smaller, more attractive model with good quality sound.

Good Not Great, 01/19/2010
By patterpy
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

I needed a portable cassette/cd/radio system to use and not annoy others. I've always loved & trusted Sony. I can only give this item 3 stars. The design is sleek and compact, built well, good options. It's the sound; that great, solid hearty Sony sound that I've been used to just isn't there. I realize it's a 3in1 portable, but I've had smaller with higher quality sound. It's okay, good, just not sound-quality great.

Misleading Specification, 01/14/2010
By BehindBars4Life
Overall Rating: 2 out of 5 2 out of 5

I almost bought this product because the specifications list an auxiliary / line-in jack on the unit for plugging in ipod or other MP3 players. However, the Sony website does not list that in the specs.

I like that it's small to use in kitchen, and it's all digital including the radio and volume, just cassette isn't and you can't see in picture but it has a pull out long antenna to get better signal for radio. Good value

By slowbuyer, Utah
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

I needed a CD player (mostly to listen to books on CD) that would be a quality product but not blow my budget. I was grateful to find this one made by Sony and for less money then the identical model in my local wal-mart store. So far we are happy with it and the tape player was a nice bonus since we have some books on tape that the kids like listening to.

The sound isn't up to what a more expensive one would sound like but it's great sound for the price. It does everything the discription says. I am very happy with it. It works on batteries or electricity.

Nice stereo, 01/06/2010
By curioustvwatcher, Utah
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

This was shipped by Fed Ex and came like all other packages shipped from them. The box was all beat up and dented. It looked fine after taking it out of the box but the cd player only worked sometimes. Needless to say, I had to return it to the store and get a new one. New one is working great! Love it! It is nice to have the option of playing a cd, cassette, or listening to the radio. But, I should have just went to the store to buy it in the first place.

Nice digital AM/FM reception. The best AM radio for distant signals I've ever owned, including my last radio, the renoun CC Radio (now broken.) This SONY even sounds better. Not a BOOM-BOX . . . If you are looking for LOUD, this is not the right unit. If you are looking for CLEAN and functional, there couldn't possibly be anything close at this price.
