I did a lot of research before deciding on this particular disc/cassette/radio player & I'm glad I did. This is a real bargain for the money. It not only does everything, it has a remote to enable you to do it. I take it everywhere when it's on batteries. AND I've rediscovered cassettes! Unlike CDs, you can stop & rewind to the very spot you missed. Can't do that with CDs. The main reason I bought it was to listen to recorded books...disc & cassette. Love it, love it, love it! So glad I had the opportunity to write a review.

I like the fact that it plays both CD and cassette. I also like the remote control. The only surprise was it was bigger than I expected. But I got used to the idea after a very short time. I found it to have good sound too.

The radio is great. I needed one for tape playing for some of our homeschooling items and this fit the bill. The remote is just a major bonus since now I don't have to get up and down from the table while we're working...I can just change it from where ever I am. I hope it lasts.

I LIKE THE RADIO, EASY SETUP OF PROGRAMS AND REMOTE APPLICATIONS; THE ONLY REASON I GAVE A 4 STARS INSTEAD OF 5, WAS BECAUSE THERE IS NOT A LIGHT INDICATOR SHOWING YOU THE RADIO IS ON. I LISTEN TO THE RADIO AT NIGHT WITH A WIRELESS HEADPHONE AND SOMETIMES I TURN OFF THE HEADPHONE AND FORGET TO TURN OFF THE RADIO, IF IT HAD A LIGHT POWER INDICATOR I WOULD HAVE GAVE IT A PERFECT 5 STARS.

I purchased this for my 90 year old mother for books on tape and music CDs. She finds it very easy to use and the sound quality is also very good.

I purchased this unit for Christmas of 08 for my daughter of 14. Just 4 months later with as little as 3 hours of use the CD player stopped reading the disc. I subsequently read reviews of this unit and found several other people experienced the same problem. A call to customer service was disappointing. Not worth fixing and out of the 90 day warranty, buy a new one. Other than not reading the disc, the display was impossible to read without lifting the unit to a 45degree angle. Emerson could care less about customer satisfaction. If it was my company, and I sold hundred of thousands of these units I would replace a defective one at a nominal cost to the customer.

Good sound but not great.Remote is great,able to turn on, change stations, volume, etc. without haveing to go to the radio.For the price it is a good buy. Bought two----for kitchen and living room.CD and cassette player included.

It's a nice boom box for it's price. It has decent size speakers and the sound is good. I have it in the kitchen now but I bought it for camping trips.I wanted a new one because my old boom box wouldn't play R/W CD'S but the main thing for me was the cassette player. I'm old school and have a lot of tapes and it's getting harder to find boom boxes with cassette players every year.So with that , the price and the modern styling I'm happy with it.

While certainly not the most amazing radio I have ever heard, it does its job well. I use this as my kitchen/ portable radio. I like that it has a cd player and a tape player. I can finally borrow books on tape from the library! If you are looking for a reasonably priced radio/ cd player/ tape player this is a good choice.

I purchased this player because I was moving and my large stereo was packed. Am I glad I did. My new place is smaller than my old one, and since I am at a loss for space, I may use this item permanently. Sound is good, and though initially, learning to use functions was not easy, now I am an expert. Would recommend to a friend and purchase another if needed.
