Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a half-decent boombox, especially if you buy it on special.It is relatively light & compact too.
I really like it that it can play CDs with MP3s on them (as well as regular audio CDs).When I need to get MP3 music off my harddrive, the best and most permanent way to store the tunes is onto CD-Rs.I can fit hundreds onto one disc.Like most CD players, it won't play DVDs with MP3s, it has to be on CDs. The menu system is basic, but it gets the job done well enough.You can do some basic searching and programming too.
The digital tuner reception is good.I am glad it catches AM.Many radios these days seem to be excluding AM for some reason.AM is full of goodies you'll never get on FM.You can store a few of your favourite stations with this unit.That's good.
THE SOUND QUALITY ISN'T TOO GOOD.I'd say it is fair.It is kinda tin-can like, even with the megabass feature on.That's too bad, but the sound is definitely clear and it can reach a high volume if you need it too.
I like it that it plays old-school cassettes.I still have plenty of those worth listening to once in a while.However, this is very basic cassette deck.The buttons and mechanism seems kinda cheap.There is no auto reverse and no counter. The digital display only says "TAPE" when you pop a cassette in.A counter comes in handy, especially since there is no "window" on the cassette door to help you see what's left on the cassette.And I miss auto reverse tape decks.Even my old cheapo walkman had auto reverse back in the day. I haven't had to "flip a tape over" in well over a decade.
I like it that the cassette deck can record.But, there is no mic on the unit or even a mic input.That's where all the fun is with these things.Recording onto tapes from a CD or the radio isn't really something people will use too often anymore.
Actually, recording radio shows/interviews might be useful, but what Sony should have done was allow us to record onto CD-Rs.That way we could copy our tapes to CD-Rs instead of CD-s to tape.Also, we could record radio shows and even our voices (with a built-in mic or mic input) into a digital format (like MP3s).
And of course, the mic input could also serve as an audio-in input for attaching an Mp3 player to the unit.You cannot attach an MP3 player to this at all.
But I guess Sony wanted to keep this unit basic and around $100 (although I bought min on special for well below that price).
