I have lookead around all possible stores and web sites. This is the best for all the features and the price.Worth your money.
I wish I could send it back now. I bought this as a gift for my wife. The batteries run down even when the unit is not used. It is still in the box in the closet. The radio is weak. The CD player skips. When we had so many problems with it I put it back in the box to return it, but never got around to sending it back.
We are satisfied with the overall performance of this equipment, except for the poor reception on the FM band.
I avoided Sony boom boxes because of so many negative buyer reviews of their mechanical features: CDs not read, cassette motor failures, etc. Without this unit they would be useless.My new auto plays CDs, but not cassettes. I bought JVC because of prior product ownership and the company's reputation for quality. This JVC boom box accomodates the latest digital formats, but, luckily for me, it alsoplays the old style analog cassettes. I still have JVC vinyl records that I enjoy listening to, after 50 years in my collection. With so many titles that I still enjoy on cassettes,the JVC boom box is a useful product and I am grateful it is available.
Also, for years JVC was one of the best names in sound recordings. There are only a few portable cassette players available on the market, since everything is goingto MP-3. I have an extensive collection of over 200 cassettespurchased in the 1980s for my auto cassette player. Without considering Sony, that leaves this market segment to JVC.It seems that Sony is slipping in quality control.
I'd put in a CD and the display would read "no disc" even though I tried many different discs. Then after about 2 days of playing CDs and/or MP3s, they would no longer play. Good thing Amazon is so great with accepting returns. At first I thought that this was a great little boombox. I really liked the MP3 playback and mp3 song name display. I was very disappointed with the product.
