AM/FM/Cassette Stereo Recorder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The computer is marking this a two-star item when all I indicated is one star.If no stars were possible I'd mark that.

The first day I received this radio I tried a pre-recorded cassette tape.It played all right -so after a couple of minutes I shut it off, put in a fresh tape, and tried to record a radio program.

The radio played all right, but it failed to record.The tape did not advance.And it was also the last time I could produce even a hint of sound out of an old tape.

Perhaps the radio thought I should be honored at sitting in on its last gasp.I was not.

Yes, it's a cheap item but I feel it should have given me at least a solid week's performance before it lay over on its back.

To return it for repairs or replacement would make the loss even greater because the shipping expenses are so high.

I have ordered a new Sony from another source at considerably more expense.The new one is supposed to play CD's as well as tapes, which is not really what I wanted - but I simply could not find another simple radio/cassette recorder.

A most unpleasant experience was had by all.

JVC TD-W354BK Dual Cassette Deck Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this model after owning an older receiver by JVC. It is loaded with features; high speed dub, continuous play, auto stop, auto reverse, Dolby B and C, and my favorite, the JVC receiver remote works this as well, even though it is years older. I am very pleased with the quality of JVC products. I own the receiver, cassette deck, and 5 disc carousel. They are all very reliable, as they have never needed even the smallest repair. Even long after the warranty ran out, they work perfectly.
Sound quality is very good on this deck. I have cassette tapes that hiss or drag in lesser quality decks, but will play beautifully in this. I am impressed with the quality of cassettes recorded with this deck as well. I record cd's onto cassette for use in the car, so this gets a real workout. All the tapes recorded sound as good as the ones that come pre-recorded.
I am also pleased with the controls on this. Everything is easy to read and operate. No confusing buttons or knobs. Even the back of the deck where you hook up the wires is self explanatory. They are marked so that you never have to open the owners manual.
In overview, this is the best cassette deck I've owned yet. I've owned Teac, Pioneer and Sony, and from now on I will stick with JVC products. I can't say enough about this deck. It is reliable, good sounding, inexpensive, and easy to operate. This is the best value out there.

Sony TCM-929 Pressman Desktop Cassette Recorder with Automatic Shut-Off Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had one of these since 1993. It's perfect. It's a tape player and recorder, and that's it.
It never jams on a good tape. It's perfect at what it does.

Being an audiobook lover I use it to listen to my books around the house and it has had a lot of use!
Unlike units that have CD players, the tape is the focus, not an afterthought.
Also, it's far superior to tape units that switch sides for you, because they often switch sides at the least resistance, not necessarily the end of the tape.
In summation, this is the tape audiobook listener's friend for reliable, no trouble, listening for hours and hours and years to come..

JVC RC-EZ35 Portable Boombox with CD Player, Cassette Deck, and AM/FM Tuner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Liked the MP3 playback and mp3 song name display. cassete player/radio are good too. Remote is nice and lcd display on unit is cool too. Sound quality is good but not much sound, thats why 4 stars (instead of 5). If you want to listen at high volume or loud then it may not be suitable. Ideal for any low/medium level sound volume listeners.
It is good value for the money .

Product Description:
Compact and affordable, the JVC RC-EZ35 boombox is a great fit for tailgaters, picnics, parties, and other occasions when a full-size stereo just won't do. The device is outfitted with a stylish housing that holds a CD player, cassette deck, AM/FM radio, and a pair of full-range speakers. The chassis looks good and holds up durably to on-the-go use, but also fits effortlessly in a bedroom or office setting. Users will groove to the unit's solid range of compatible listening formats, which includes audiocassettes, CDs, CD-R/RW discs, and MP3s (on CD-R/RW). And should listeners want to enjoy a DJ's playlist or NPR program, they can turn to the digital AM/FM tuner, which includes 20 FM and 10 AM presets for quick and easy station access.
The boombox also offers a number of essential CD functions, including 40-track programming, random and repeat play, intro scan, and CD synchro-start recording, which coordinates the first few seconds of CD playback with the cassette deck's record button. The system's solid audio performance stems not just from its 3.56-inch speakers, but also its 1-bit digital-to-analog converter, which ensures a crisp, clean signal. Other features include JVC's Hyper-Bass sound system for improved low-frequency performance, five preset equalizer patterns to ensure a diverse sound, a two-line backlit LCD display, ID3 tagging (shows MP3 title and artist information on the display), a headphone jack for private listening, and a full-function remote control that operates the unit from a distance.
Appropriately for a portable player, the boombox runs on either batteries or AC power and offers a fold-down carrying handle for easy transport. The device also carries a one-year warranty on parts and a 90-day warranty on labor.

Sony CFD-E90 CD Radio Cassette Recorder (White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Purchased it to use on job sites; didn't need anything too fancy, the smaller size is what attracted me. The cassette feature along with CD seemed like a nice bonus.

However, after one week the CD Player would not play a disc, instead read "no disc" even when one was inserted. I later have read where this is a common failure with this unit. I returned it and tried another, but this one gave the "no disc" error right out of the box. Very disappointing product from Sony.

I ended up returning it and got something else entirely. Don't waste your time on this product.

Product Description:
Sony's white CFD-E90 PSYC CD/radio cassette recorder offers sweeping curves and versatile media playback so your tunes can go almost anywhere you do. The 2.3-watts-per-channel boombox is equipped with a jog dial to help you make clock adjustments and quickly select the CD tracks you're looking for. Its one-bit digital-to-analog audio converter includes 8x oversampling for pristine, accurate sound. And, the CFD-E90's digital AM/FM stereo tuner boasts 30-station memory presets (20 FM, 10 AM).
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 or the CD player. Other features include Mega Bass sound for low-frequency enhancement, 20-track CD programming, current-time display, and a sleep/wake timer with variable settings so you fall asleep or wake to CD or radio. The CFD-E90 also comes with a color-matched remote control, and a .125-inch headphone jack affords private listening.
Power the device through the extended power cord, or use 6 C batteries for true portability. The remote control requires 2 AAA batteries, and a clock- and memory-setting back-up features uses 3 AA batteries (no batteries included). When using batteries, expect about 7 hours of CD playback or 15 hours of cassette play or 20 hours of radio use. The boombox includes a telescopic FM antenna and built-in ferrite-bar antenna for AM radio reception.
What's in the Box
Boombox, remote control, AC power cord, a user's manual, and warranty information.

Sony CFDS22 Boombox (Silver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was looking for a decent, relatively low-priced boombox for my bedroom, and I ended up buying a CFDS22.The unit is nicely designed. The controls are easy to use, and very straightforward. At the time I bought it, having the 0-10 keys to go to a specific track with 1 touch seemed like an unnecessary novelty, but if you like programming your music selections, you'll really love it.The cd component has a full range of programming options.You can select random play, or program specific tracks with or without the random play option. The CD player will play just about anything. I haven't had a problem with CD-Rs, and it plays all but the most scratched up disks (which I couldn't get to play on any of my other players either).
The tape deck, like most boombox tape decks, isn't the greatest, but it will enable you to make a decent cassette tape from a CD, if you want to make copies for the car, for example.The cassette tape controls aren't electronic, but the power to the deck is, which allows synchronous recording of cds when the 'record' button is pushed on the cassette deck.
I found the sound quality from CDs to be above average for a boombox model in this price range.If you're looking for an inexpensive stereo to suit a small room, I would definately recommend it.

Sony CFD-E100 Portable CD Radio Cassette Recorder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I looked for a long time for a stereo, boombox or undercounter radio that would fit well in my kitchen.I wanted something that would fit in a small space but still sound good and be able to tune in my favorite radio station which is not always easy to get in.I read tons of reviews and was getting very discouraged.But the Sony CFD-E100 is perfect for my needs.It sounds great, looks good, takes up only a little space and does *not* use the cord as an antenna - which I have found to be an annoying "feature" of some radios.Also, the case is that same white appliance plastic that my coffee maker and toaster are made from, so it blends well in my kitchen and is easy to clean.I also think it's attractive with the blue accents.To save space, the CD player is vertical and in the front, while the cassette player is in the back.So you can't see the cassette player from the front, which confused my husband for a minute.But there's no reason that one way or the other has to be the "front" so you can just turn it around if you want to use the cassette player and need to see it.It also comes with a remote, which I have not had the need to use.

Pros:
* small footprint
* digital tuner that is fairly strong
* CD player
* cassette player-recorder
* pull-out antenna (not one of those "antenna in cord" things)
* easy to clean
* decent speakers

Cons
* a little hard to figure out how to set the radio pre-sets
* price - I paid $70 - not outrageous but not inexpensive

Aiwa CSD-TD26 One-piece Boombox Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My wife and I wanted an inexpensive boombox, that was portable and had good sound.This was our choice.It doesn't quite have the booming bass that other portable stereos have, but it does have bass boost, which helps and it has a stereo expander that is simply amazing.
Also, when I was testing out boomboxes at a local stereo store, I noticed that many of the radios were unable to tune in a radio station on FM in the building.This stereo, with its digital tuning, had no such problem.The receiver works quite well.
I would recommend this boombox to anyone...especially for the price.

Sony CFD-S03CP - Boombox - radio / CD / cassette Review

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).
