I bought two of these stereos for presents last year. They fell apart by June (CD players quit working, tuners began to short out). I have been trying to contact Emerson for a copy of the warranty for four months, but have not received the courtesy of a reply.

To echo some other reviewers, my unit skips terribly on the cds it will even play. Also, the motor to open the cd door on top isn't strong enough. After about a month of use it became manually operated. Don't waste your money

I fell for the nice look, the nice price, and yes even the nice sound. Brought this little "gem" home and was terribly pleased with my "deal". Pretty good sound for such an inexpensive cd player.

Well, sadly, the story does not end on this happy note. Less than a week later, the "cheap electronics" demon reared its ugly head and my gem turned into a piece of ** (sorry can't think of a polite word). The CD player began to skip (a lot!!!), strange whirring sounds chirped up in the midst of my "listening pleasure", and even the radio wouldn't work properly, suggesting a short perhaps (I am no expert but I do know ** when I hear it).

Back to the twilight zone for you, you piece of Emerson rubbish! And serves me right for trying to "go cheap"! *deep sigh* ... let this be a warning for all weary electronics pilgrims out there! I just wish I had read all the other (very truthful) reviews on Amazon before buying my possessed little piece of junk. They were all right, SO RIGHT! (except the one that said it was a great machine.. must be an empolyee of Emerson or something)

I strongly recommend the JVC FS-H35 Executive Microsystem instead. I bought it in replacement of the Emerson and it was a real gem of a buy.

I bought this CD player over a year ago. I loved the look, yet the motor always seems so noisy. Last month, the CD player stopped working. It would have been wiser to have spent more money on something that would have lasted longer.

My new husband and I bought this stereo when we were purchasing our first home. We got home and took it out of the box. The seek buttons don't work so we couldn't play cd's or change the channel on the radio. This was several months ago and we have yet to hear back from Emerson. If I could put zero stars I would but I was forced to put at least one star.

This unit looked cool in the store and the display sound was promising. Two months later, there was a whirring sound in the fan in the back of the machine. Despite efforts to clean it out (thinking it was dust) it still whirs and is loud and distracting. Don't be fooled by the good looks.

I bought this system cause of space saving issues. To my suprise it sounds great. Lots of volume and bass. For the money it just can't be beat. Plays cd's perfectly and the aux input allows me to use my duel cassette deck. All in all a great unit.

This music system is great! It was a lot better than I expected! The sound was clearer than ever and I was able to enjoy my Cd's more than I ever have! This system is perfect if you don't have a lot of space. It is sleek and compact and the speakers can be placed almost anywhere! I especially love the light modern blue color and the retro design. The remote was a pleasant suprise. I didnt have to get up to change a song or station. Keep up the good work! This is a must have in any room!!!

Executives will love it, but head bangers and gangstas won't. The sound quality is fine for the laid-back, but those that play music loud will be disappointed...my suggestion to them is to get a boombox, that's what they are for. I love this stereo, it is a perfect addition to my living room and has a cool light that adds ambiance to my parties...:) I recommend the stereo to those interested in a small and powerful radio, but only if they are not planning on waking the neighbors.

I wish I read the reviews before I bought it. I thought it was wonderful, until my system had the same problem that was mentioned by another person. I also had the "no disc" appear. It's amazing that the problems started to happen almost a year after I bought it (yes, note the sarcasam). My advice - something more expensive is worth the investment. Don't waste your money on this, you'll just have to buy a new one a year later!
