I boght this product at [a local store] for ... in dec 2002. After 4 months cd function did not work. After 5 months radio function did not work. Aiwa told me to ship it to Syracuse/a ... cost for [a shipper]/for warranty repair. Turns out Syracuse is an idependent repair shop who want authorization to repair it at ... per hour.or to ship it back to me at my cost, since the labour warranty is only for 3 months. Needless to say i will never buy another Aiwa product- quality and service advice is very poor.

I was looking for 2 players for my two son's rooms. I began the search looking for a CD/MP3 player. Disappointed in my Memorex, I looked at Sony and several others. But I found that they all lacked for something. I then went back to the tradional CD boomboxes and researched and bought two of these models. This unit has excellent sound for such a small player. It is very light and will be in rooms with small boys, so that is a plus. I was most impressed with the price. I got mine for ~$.... The sound is excellent. It has a preset EQ with Pop, Rock, Jazz, and no boost settings. The Jazz setting is the best IMHO and gives the music a little kick. The unit has a remote, a back light, timer, and will repeat all or a single track on a CD. Quite a plus for the little ones who like to hear things over and over again. So far, no problems.
