RCA RP2442 Personal CD Player (Blue/Orange)

Rating:
Summary: Basic requirement failure.
Review: All of the listed features of this unit WOULD have been great,if only it had clear sound. I purchased the orange (actually yellow) version (RP2443) of this unit after checking out all the specs on the RCA website. In theory, a great machine. But as soon as I fired it up, I was greeted with background hiss and fluctuating static sounds. I frowned, changed discs, and got the same. I changed headphones - same results. What's the point of using a CD player? I got results like this from audio cassette. Tomorrow, I'll be returning it and try a different product. A frustrating waste of time.
