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. (...)

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.

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.

I just recieved this CD player as a Birthday gift. Not only is it a great space-saver, but it looks and sounds great too. There definately are louder systems out there (this one isn't going to knock the walls down), but the volume on this one is just perfect for me!

I own this little beauty and everyone one in my office either ask is it a scale or ask if they can have it. My response to both questions is always no. This unit is great I love the ability to place it almost any where although the stand needs a little help, The sound is great I also wished it was a multiple player but I'll keep what I have. Buy and you'll like it

I generally like this product, but I have had a few glitches with it. A few times the cd wouldn't start. Other times I can hear the cd rotate over the music. I just hope this electronic item will stand the test of time, unlike so many other products I've purchased and used with care.

Hey, my name is Sam, and I'm a 14 year old kid who lives in New York. I agree with the person who said that the past reviews seem written by all the same people, but I'm not complaining. I enjoy this product, but there are a few downsides. 1, an unneccesarily fold out slot for the cd. Instead of a space the size of a cd opening up, the whole damn player opens up. Very annoying, but it doesn't detract at all in the big run. Okay reception, I'm not complaining but I'm not jumping for joy. Great sound, great backlight function, nice, bright and orange. Slim, can fit mostly anywhere. Hmm... wall mounting was pretty easy, so don't let that stop you. Looks nice, blue and fuzzy looking. Buttons are not placed conveniently, but it is no struggle. A handy little remote is one of the biggest plusses, a feature I cannot go without. 30 radio presets, 15 am/15 pm. Only complaint here is that instead of pressing 1 and going back to your 1 station, you have to cycle through 2-15 just to get back to that one station. Quite the hassle. I'd just like to note, I'm a very critical person, so everything I say is a quarter as bad as I say it is. I'm everybodies worst critic for some reason. Nifty little gadget. I recommend it, and it has a digital tuner to boot. For the most part, this thing has convenience all over it. Great alarm clock timer features by the way.

Peace

Finally I found my present to my girl friend. That is Casio's Flat CD player, AJ-1 ! Slim body, small but good stereo speaker and full remote function so that she can enjoy her favorite music while she cooks or wherever she is. I will recommend this to my friend to make them happier !

This is the amazing product, all in one in this slim body.
CD with surround, 2 steps bass sound from tiny original speaker, 30 pre set channel digital AM/FM radio and Timer function in it so you can wake-up with your favorite CD or station. You can hang it on the wall or put it kitchen, bed side or on your desk at your office. Full remote controler enables you to operate whenever you are. You can select your CD or adjust volume with remote control. These function with slim beautiful body at this price, this is the best product for this holiday season.

It's no Wave, but it's not bad except for the flimsy stand that keeps the player from falling over. It barely does that. And there's the odd need to expose the entire CD player to insert a disc. But the player sounds pretty good, reception is OK and if you hang it securely on a wall until it's time to throw it in a suitcase you'll be fine.
