One of the better ones out there!

I received this Cd player as a birthday present a few years ago, after telling everyone exactly what to get me, and I had looked at many others.

Some of the features I love about this is the 10 second anti-skip feature, which can be turned off or on, but I like to keep it on all the time, especially in the car. I keep it in a case, and when I am sitting down using it and it falls,(which I try to avoid) it does not have any problem at all, and I have never had it skip on me once. I have a friend who has a lesser quality cd player with no anti-skip, and if his gets moved at all or put upside down, it will not work, but mine will work upside down even without the anti-skip on. I tried out some other cd players with 20 seconds of anti-skip, and they skipped more with the skip protection on than mine does with it off.

I like the car kit that comes with it, because it transforms any car with a tape player into a cd player, with all the sound quality of an expensive built-in car cd player, of course it depends on the speakers, but generally it will put out great sound.


One more thing I like is how the cd player will last a long time on the two AA batteries, even when they are low. I like how there is a display on the screen that shows me picture of the battery in three parts, depending on how much battery power I have left so I know to replace them before the sound gets bad or the music gets slow. Also, the battery display goes blank if I plug it into AC power or plug it into a car. Also, even with only one battery part showing, it works like it has brand new batteries.

Also, I like the Bass Boost feature, it makes the sound much richer and better, and it is adjustable too, so you can have no bass boost, some bass boost, or full bass boost.

One thing that I think can be improved on the cd player's car kit is the wires for the one that hooks up to what looks like a cassette tape. I once accidentally stepped on the wire, and it never worked again, so I had to buy that part of the kit, which can cost quite a bit. I think they could try a little harder to make the wires more reinforced and thicker so they are not so sensitive, but as it is now, as long as they are treated right there will be no problem.

I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good portable cd player, especially if they take a lot of trips in any type of vehicle, and even if they have not cd player at all, it will work with headphones, a home stereo, and for cars, so you only need one cd player.
