Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

No, it's not a scale, it's a portable stereo! Casio's AJ-1 flat-panel stereo features a CD player, AM/FM tuner, and built-in alarm clock, bass boost--and it gracefully hangs on the wall in your home or office. The CD player is CD-R/CD-RW compatible, and it features 10-second antiskip protection; the digitally synthesized tuner features 30 presets (15 AM, 15 FM). The AJ-1 ships with a remote control and AC adapter. It also runs on six AA batteries (not included).

From Digital Living Today

Sometimes a product hits the market that isn't really an innovation, but it's so necessary, so obvious, that it makes you wonder why it took so long for it to come along. Casio's AJ-1 Flat-Panel CD Player is nothing more than a travel digital alarm clock. The trick here is that it's ultra-thin and it plays CDs. Just big enough to hold your favorite disc while you're on the road, and to play your favorite track when it's time to rise and shine, the AJ-1 combines a travel alarm with a CD player in a unit so nice to look at, it will make anyone using it feel like a member of the jet-set. A perfect gift and a fine treat for oneself as well, the AJ-1 is remarkable not for its innovation, but for its usefulness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Unit (...), November 29, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Casio AJ-1 Flat-Panel CD Player with Alarm Clock and AM/FM Tuner (Electronics)

I bought this player to replace a sony icfcd2000 travel radio/cd player that was left out in the rain (not good for cd players!). This Casio player was half the price of the sony and it kicks its (...)! The sound quality is far superior, the display is much more readable, the digital tuner is much higher quality (the one on the sony didn't even work for lower frequency FM stations!), and it has a remote! Yes it looks like a bathroom scale, so don't put it on the floor, but it can be easily thrown into a suitcase for travel. (...)

5.0 out of 5 stars Casio AJ-1 Flat-Panel CD Player with Alarm Clock and AM/FM, February 15, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Casio AJ-1 Flat-Panel CD Player with Alarm Clock and AM/FM Tuner (Electronics)

So it looks like a scale! Once you've gotten over that little detail you can start to enjoy all that it has to offer. Digital tuner, CD player (that will play CD-R's), better than average radio reception, an enhanced bass boot that works well, and a nifty remote "to boot." What else could you ask for? Sure, it's not going to fill the room like your home stereo, but you'd be silly to ask it to. Solid sound from the two front mounted speakers. Find myself using the remote a lot, even though I sit less than 2ft. away from the radio since the buttons are on the top and difficult to see.

5.0 out of 5 stars Portable & Cool!, December 1, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Casio AJ-1 Flat-Panel CD Player with Alarm Clock and AM/FM Tuner (Electronics)

The key advantage of this product is size. It is about the size of a piece of paper - 8.5 X 11" and about 1 1/4" thick. I was concerned that the sound would not be loud enough but it is fine. The sound is full and the remote control is a pleasure. Once my kids saw it they couldn't stop playing it. Nice design.
