Sony Mega Bass Boombox CD Radio Cassette Recorder, LCD Display, 4 Track, 2 Channel, Stereo, CD-R/RW Playback Compatibility, Black

Good radio, good sound. Disappointed that you have to press so many buttons from mains turn on - it does not remember what you had last time (defaults to CD) . It is good if you leave it on Standby, I turn to off at the mains, so when turning it on I have to press ON, FM, Megabass Off, press Preset a number of times. I only run it from the mains.

My husband gifted me this lovely little boombox for Christmas in 2014. We've used it often - mostly cassettes and CDs. But today, out of the blue, the CD portion has stopped working. There's no error, it just plays about 20 seconds and then the time screen starts flickering and the music goes off. The tracks can't be changed either. It was just playing a cassette prior with no issues. We've tried all the generic tricks for dealing with CD not playing, but this seems to be electrical. Really disappointed - especially as there seem to be a similar issue among the reviews here.

when my old Sony radio finally quit after years of good service I replaced it with this model from Walmart. the sound quality is not bad with the megabass however the tuner on it is junk. Many of my favorite stations will only come in clear after many tries. What happened Sony? You used to represent reliability!

I bought this unit 9 months ago. Haven't used it much and today when I tried to play some CD's it didn't work. Unit does not recognize a CD being in the player.

I has this product for approx. 2 years until the CD player stop working. The radio and cassette player works fine. Can you imagine how many of this product went to the landfill?

I have owned several other Sony boomboxes that sounded great and lasted for years of constant playing. I played CDs all night every night for many years on all of my Sony players. After I bought this model, the CD player stopped working within within 6 months of overnight playing. Now I'm faced with buying another boombox player. Do I want to take another chance on Sony? What happened to Sony quality?

I bought this for my wife that enjoys Radio and audio books on tape and CD. Sadly only after 9 months the CD laser reader has stopped working so only a radio and tape are available. After reading online reviews and forums I discovered that this seems to be a common fault.

I bought this for my mother who is 98 years old. She has not used such technology before so I had to be careful that the machine would be very easy to understand and easy for me to explain to her. Also, I had to look carefully for features such as colour. There was a very attractive white colour but upon careful consideration, I figured that she would have difficulty in reading the symbols (gray on white background) whereas the black model makes it very easy to read off. I decided that i would explain only one part of the functioning on one day (like how to use CD). Indeed, it was easy for me to explain the functions to my mother and easy for her to understand them. She has been using the machine since then. I am very happy with this machine.

I bought this 2 weeks ago to listen to story cd's and it is fine for this purpose. The thing I find annoying about it is that there is no on/off switch so you have to unplug it to switch off the amp.Have not used the cassette player yet.

Bought this for my garage, mainly to play CDs and it fits the bill nicely i.e. if I wreck it and it ceases to function due to dust or grime I haven't wasted a fortune. It actually has quite a nice tone to it - I've not messed with it and tbh I don't know if you can do much with the tone or not, but out of the box it sounds quite nice. I haven't tested the tape player. Whether I'll use it or not I don't know. Initially I had a wave of nostalgia for making up compilation tapes or mix tapes, but it soon passed.

I bought this to replace a larger radio/CD stereo player that had separate speakers. I found there is no difference in performance and I have saved the space taken up by the old unit and have less wires dangling around the floor.

Useful for the bedroom and easy to move about if necessary.

I bought this unit to play music whilst doing one of my hobbies which is making hand made greeting cards. Whether playing tapes, CDs or the FM radio the sound is beautifully balanced and great. The compactness of the unit means it occupies very little space and is unobtrusive.

Bought the unit just 10 days ago and I am very impressed with the quality of the sound reproduction from such a small unit. Also the aerial is great in our kitchen. Excellent buy at a super price. Highlighted control buttons would be a great help.

Good value for the money. Pleased to find a machine on which can continue to play our tapes. Shame the radio isn't DAB!

I've been buying Sony since I left university in the 1970s and have always been pleased with their products. This product, while not third rate in any way, does not seem to me to be of the quality Sony is known for. I wasn't pleased. The speakers are not impressive - not very clear. The cassettes played on this product produced a dull sound after just a few plays. With all the technology we have today it seems rather too bulky. It's not very Sony which is traditionally compact, high quality, great sound and great to look at

Very pleased with this product. It has a nice tone and does not sound " Tinny" The only drawback I have found is that the instructions for its use could do with being a bit clearer.

Very pleased with the product. It looks classy, sounds very good and has a comprehensive range of features. I am particularly impressed with the digital tuning features which are a vast improvement over the old dial tuning.
