Summary: HELP - Tuning
Review: Sorry, this product was delivered -1 manual... (not from amazon - i might add! :) ). I heard it and can give some good sound for its size. If someone could please email me at dag6@kent.ac.uk, how you preset a station into it I would really appreciate it... The only function that is not clear at all on the radio.... Many thanks.... buy and enjoy....P.S Remember to push the megabass button, it sounds much better with it! :)

Summary: Stylish design, decent sound
Review: The members of my big family between them own three other Sony boomboxes, and this recent addition was bought purely for the style (and after my very disappointing experience with the Sharper Image Beetle CD Boombox; see my review there for details). The Psyc looks real funky... and Japanese. It reminds me variously of the head of a Power Ranger and the body of this nameless cat in another Japanese anime. Like other Sony boomboxes, it's intuitive to use. The LCD is bigger and more informative than the old models we own. The sound quality is adequate for a small boombox, which is to say you get stereo sound and some fake bass. :) We plan to take this with us when we go picnicking, and outdoors as long as the boombox is loud enough, sound quality is not too important. Our oldest Sony CD boombox has been in service for 13 years... I hope this one lasts just as long.

Review: This is actually a review of Sony CFD-E75 CD/Radio/Cassette Boombox (Silver), exact thing except color. I "borrowed" this from my wife when I found I didn't have any cassette players (except in a car) and had to listen to a cassette. I was impressed by the sound quality for spoken word cassettes. Everything sounds normal like a human is talking! I've also listened to music cassettes and music CD's and am just amazed at how good this sounds. The "wheel" for selecting CD tracks is a great idea and is used for tuning the radio when in "radio" mode. That makes it easy to find your station.Speaking of which, this model has a "real" three section, rotating antenna, not a skinny little wire hanging out the back What won me over though was the FM AND AM reception on the radio section of this item. We live in an area where the big broadcast antenna are on a hill real close to our home so we've always had problems with radio reception. A good adjustable Bass with the Sony "Mega Bass" button does change the sound noticably. I like the styling and I keep the thing on the night stand next to my head so haven't needed the remote. I guess I'll let my wife keep that. HA HA This was a good purchase. She swears she got ot for considerably less than the price shown. But even at the price shown, I think it's darn well worth it!
Highly Recommended!

Summary: Mediocre product
Review: Worked just fine when I got it, but right after the warranty expired, the CD player just stopped working. I didn't do anything to it, but now it won't read CD's. Also had problems with it not playing unless plugged into wall, even with backup batteries. I guess you get what you pay for :(
