3.0 out of 5 stars CD AM FM STEREO Cassette Recorder- There are Better Choices, March 21, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Classic CD/Cassette Boombox (CS830) (Electronics)

I have owned this model since November 2, 2002. I have the model CS832R which is like the CS830, except, mine has remote control for CD. The CD player works great. The AM and FM Stereo work great. The Cassette Recorder in this Boom Box, is only FAIR in performance. Cassette Recorder makes a sound when playing or recording, from inside the unit; that sounds like a belt slipping. It can be heard with your music at low volume level. Also, this cassette recorder will at times, without warning, pull the loop of tape out of the cassette you are playing, and wrap it around the idler wheel. Furthermore; this cassette recorder makes only FAIR sounding recordings. Whether you record from CD or Radio(unit has NO MIC for live recordings);your recordings will sound like listening to a radio station that is slightly not tuned in. The bass in your recordings will sound slightly fuzzy/distorted, mid and treble are ok. Unit has auto shutoff only in play or record mode of cassette. Unit does not shutoff in Rewind or Fast Forward; you have to hit stop key. Volume output of unit is not really loud(less than 1 watt per channel). CD is NOT programmable; but does have repeat function. CD player makes spinning sound in use. You get what you pay for; and there are better choices out there; then this unit. Stereo separation is great on this unit. AM/FM tuning dial is NOT that accurate. This unit will perform like it's price! Don't expect more.
