radio does work (but how can one possibly ruin THAT?)

Badly designed/constructed CD-player destined to stop functioning.

We accidentally had 2 of these, just after we bought one, someone gave us another. BOTH of these gave the "No Disc" error within a few months of meagre use. when you open up the the CD lid and jiggle the cd-lense a bit, sometimes it works again.

Definitely unacceptable design- and/or build quality, way below COBY-grade. Another SONY item, a $400 minidisc recorder stopped working completely too. (conveniently just after the 3 month guarantee period.) SONY, what the hell do you think you are doing?

Small size, radio, cd, and cassette capabilities.

CD player failed in one week. New replacement failed right out of the box.

Needed an affordable boombox for job site locations. This one has CD, radio, and cassette so I thought it might be a good choice. Definitely not. After one week and no more than 4 CDs the CD Player stopped working (keeps displaying "no disc" even when a disc is inserted). Returned to the store (I've since read where the no disc problem is common with this model), got a new replacement, it displayed "no disc" immediately, it never worked once. Returned it and got something else. Don't waste your time, Sony blew it on this.

1970s era Sony mono cassette/radio player. It lasted for about 20 years until the cassette stopped working at all. Not bad.
