  Awsome little music/radio player for little money!

  by joezombie15 on August 22, 2009

  Pros: -Small/Compact design
  
  -Tons of features (radio AM/FM,cd player, line in, ECT.)
  
  -Simple user interface
  
  -comes with little compact remote, Line in/AUX cable to plug in your mp3 player/I pod
  
  -Vary low price for this awsome little machine!

  Cons: -The sound quality isnt the greatest (could be louder and there isnt any bass or bass boost just presets like rock,jazz ECT.)
  -Radio is hard to get perfect reception.No matter were you put the cable you will still have static, but i never notice it.

  Summary: When i first saw this awsome looking cd/radio player i had to have it! so i bought the little machine and brought it home. The minute i plugged it in it worked perfectly! The sound quality isnt the best like i said, but it isnt the worst eaither. Really the only Major problem is that there isnt any bass boost or bass at all. But i never really care about that stuff anyway.
  
  Another thing i liked about it is the CD door is automatic! so whenever you want to play a cd you just press the CD door butten and it slids up automaticly like its from the future! Cd's play nice and there is no skipping to be hered of.
  
  There are about 20 preset stations you can have with the AM/FM radio, but the only way to choose from them is to hit one button. Lets say you are on preset station 2 and you want to go to 1. You will have to press the preset stations button 19 times to come back to station 1.
  
  The system comes with a LINE IN/AUX cable so you can plug your Mp3 player or I-pod into the speakers. It works great but it isnt vary loud.
  
  The system dose have an alarm clock/clock built in and both work great. The only problem is that if you unplug the system from the wall it will automaticly set everything back to the default setting. so all your station presets, GONE your clock settings, GONE your alarm settings, GONE but it is all vary easy to set up again so not a huge problem.
  
  Another problem with it is when you turn it off/STANDBY mode, it will keep the blue backlight on at full brightness.(UNLESS YOU TOTALLY UNPLUG THE UNIT THEN THE LIGHT TURNS OFF) Wich means that there is no brightness settings on this unit and therefor it is vary bright!! NO NEED FOR A NIGHTLIGHT ANYMORE. Also im worried that after a couple of months that the light will die out from being on 24/7 but oh well.
  
  One last problem is when you turn it off and then turn it back on again the volume always resets back to default witch is VARY LOUD!! So to avoid this problem just switch your player to CD mode befor putting it on standby, therefor when you turn it back on it will be silent until you put a cd in or you switch it back to AM/FM mode.
  
  Even tho this machine has its ups and downs im going to give it a 5/5 becouase the design of it is perfect and small. It has a ton of modes/features and it dose get really loud withought sounding staticly (UNLESS YOUR LISTENING TO THE RADIO)
  But other than that this is a perfect little player for any home/bedroom/office. And it can even hang on the wall if you like!
