I was looking for a cheap boombox for my office, and I really did not want to spend much money. I was looking for a boombox that had: CD, AM/FM Radio (digital tuning), and Cassette player. I originally bought Sylvania SRCD4400 for $39.00 + tax. But I quickly returned it and payed extra $20.00 for this Sony boombox and I love it.

1. The design of the boombox is sleek and easy to use. All the buttons are easily recognized and clearly marked (not so with the Sylvania!). The silver color is very nice, looks more expensive than it really is.

2. The sound is clear and booming. I was impressed with the reception of AM/FM radio stations -the reception was clear! (Not so with the Sylvania model, couldn't get some of my favorite AM stations!). It is true however, as other reviewers said, Bass "mega bass" sound could be deeper. So if you like bass sound a lot, then this model may not be for you.

3. The remote control is easy to use. It has all the buttons you need to access the boombox. (Not so with the Sylvania model, no power button). HOWEVER, if you have thick fingers like me then you might have little trouble pressing the buttons. Remote control is slender and buttons are small. But it works well.

Overall, I am very happy with the boombox. I recommend to everyone who looks for inexpensive and quality boombox.

I bought this unit so that I could have something descent to put in my newly remodeled room. It works as expected, although I would have liked something a little more compact, and the remote is a nice feature too (even if it is really dinky looking). My only other complaint is that The Bass could be a little deeper, and the sound could be a little louder, but I'd definatly recommend this unit to anyone interested in a quality boombox on a low budget...

This is a great product. The price is awesome. I was looking for something to play my old cassettes and still be able to pop in a CD. It has great sound, even with some really old teaching tapes I listen to. It's not that compact, but it's very light and very portable. I would definitely recommend this product.

I purchased this system at Wal-Mart in December, 2004. It is very convenient and fits perfectly on top of a folding table that I have in my room. It is perfectly portable, and it's not like other systems that are best suited for a bookshelf or cannot be carried around very much. CD sound quality is excllent as well. You can play commercially issued CDs and CDs that were recorded from stand-alone recording decks or burners on your PC. Whenever I don't use it, I keep it in its original cardboard box. The nice features this system has are: 10 button direct access for radio or CD and a small remote control that you can use for CDs or radio. I don't listen to tapes on this system very often, but it does work quite well. I even tried recording on to tape from CD several times. The playback quality on a recorded tape (that was recorded on this system) is decent; you can hear the music, but there is a SLIGHT degree of sound distortion when playing back music that you had just recorded on to tape. But, that does not mean that this system is total junk. It is still quite nice. With the remote, you can control the CD player or radio, without having to touch the buttons on the system. You can jump right to a CD track (or radio station) with the touch of one of the numbered buttons. This system also has wide-directional convex speakers, which project sound to a wider area, they are not like most other speakers that only project the sound to a limited area. My system still works quite nice, so I'm not complaining.

The CD player failed just after the warranty expired. Radio reception is poor. This one's going to the Salvation Army.
