This is one magnificant CD Player. It is too bad that very few portable CD Players don't have an tuner. They should make it an standard. I really like this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good for playing CDs (CD-R or CD-RW), March 5, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Aiwa XP-R220 Portable CD Player with FM/AM Radio (Electronics)

I needed a CD player that could play CD-RWs for editing purposes. Being an electrical engineer, I auditioned several brands that I could use for editing RWs. I finally chose the Aiwa XP-R220 and the Panasonic SL-SX289V. Since these units both have tuners, I selected the Sony DF20 for comparison of the tuner only. The SONY DF20 (doesn't play RWs) sounded better than the Panasonic SL-SX2898V on CDs; the Aiwa CD sound quality blew away the SONY DF20 on CDs! Need I say any more about the winner for CD sound - it's the Aiwa by far! As for the tuner, the SONY was the winner here (but it doesn't play RWs). The Panasonic and Aiwa tuner have equally poor sensitivity. The Aiwa doesn't pick up many stations when scanning automatically (I am located in a large U.S.northeastern city with strong signals); therefore, to program stations you must step the tuner manually to your favorite stations before storing them in memory. If you play CD-R's or -RW's on the Aiwa, you might have to turn off the anti-skip circuit or the player won't play the manually selected track you want; the player just hangs up and 'hunts' for the track without playing it! This was also true on the Panasonic player.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice CD Player with AM/FM Stereo Radio, December 16, 2001

This is a nice CD player with AM/FM stereo radio - the problems are few, but worth noting. The reception of the radio is dependent on the headphone wire and is not always the best. The player will skip easily unless set to anti-skip, which in turn reduces quality of the sound the more protection you add. No MP3 playing ability. The pluses - sound is very good on both radio and CD - many presets for favorite stations, a multistage bass boost, battery life is very long and it plays your home-brewed CD-R's. All-in-all a very good value, I like it.
