Emerson Portable CD Player with AM FM Stereo Radio

The sound is good, plus it tunes in more stations than my other similar radio. So it is very good that way. The problem is the location and style of the tuning dial. It is a small wheel you turn with your finger. Located on the back to one side, it is easy to bump or move. So I have to retune a station frequently, which is a real design flaw. The station selection dial is close to the on and off switch making it difficult to use that without changing the station too. Plus, the station indicator numbers are tiny and on the dial, no led display, making it guess work to locate an exact station number.

It's not bad but it still skips passages on my books on cd, the sole reason I bought this stereo to replace the other two i had that skipped. It's the stereo not the books because they play fine in my car and I'm not listening to the same book or cd every time it skips. It's over wise fine and the perfect size about the size of a basketball.

I bought this for my 88 yo mother to listen to audio books. She's only been using it for a week, but loves it! It is small enough to fit easily on the table next to her recliner chair. It's easy for her to insert and remove CDs. The sound quality is excellent. The labeling for the buttons is small and difficult for her to read, but she really only needs to press the play/pause button. I marked that one with an asterisk so she could easily identify it and remember it. The digital display is difficult for her to see when her table light is on, but she just needs to turn it off to easily see/read it. When not being used, she does leave it in the pause mode - we're hoping that doesn't affect the life of the player, but that is the easiest way for her to be able to independently use it. She's now halfway through a 7 CD book all by herself and can't wait to go to the library to see what other audio books are available. I think we found a winner!

The CD player is surprisingly good for the price and size. It's loud enough to have in the kitchen and her throughout the house. And the quality of sound is pretty good. The radio is good too, when you zero in on a channel. That takes a little bit of work: to get exactly on the channel. Sometimes I have to work the position of the radio around to get good reception. It's compact and pretty powerful for its size.

It works well. I don't use the radio. I use the CD player as a sleep aid. I like the buttons because they have a good feel and they placed well so that I can use them without seeing them. I gave it four stars instead of five because I have only used it a few hours. I hope that it lasts a long time. I bought it to replace my Emerson player which also worked well but it did not last.

The player works well it is a bit tinny. But it's a small player and and it's cheap. My only real complaint is that it appears to be used when I examine the battery compartment the screw at the bottom accessing the body of the player had obviously been removed. It is badly scratched in that area and slightly dented I wonder what was in it

The "fast forward" button doesn't work properly. While it did for a few days, it no longer will funcition in a way to advance the tracks. In other words if you want to skip track 1 & 2 and go directly to 3, it won't allow you to. It simply fast forwards through the entire track 1 and 2 and you don't know you are track 3 unless you stop it and listen to find out where in the CD you are.

It didn't work! It was opened on Christmas Day and when plugged in it didn't work. Waited a day and purchased batteries and then tried it again and it still didn't work when plugged in and it didn't work with the batteries..

The item doesn't work...the electric cord doesn't fit well so the radio doesn't work consistently. Sometimes there's a connection, but sometimes there isn't.

I ordered one, you sent me 2, I need to return the 2nd unit ASAP! Also, the instructions are so tiny, I cannot read even with glasses and a magnifying glass! Can you send me the return label? The bar code and whatever is needed to return this not needed unit? Nancy Cole 1
