Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Memorex MD6440-04CP is a personal CD player which plays audio CDs, plus CD-R discs. The key feature to the MD6440 is the included car kit. This kit comes with a cassette adaptor and a cigarette lighter DC adaptor, the two necessary accessories to make any personal CD player vehicle-ready. The forty-second anti-shock system is a huge plus when using the player either in the car or at the running/walking track. In fact, this sort of anti-shock system is good for any user who may encounter surprise jolts and vibrations while commuting, sitting in a coffee shop or studying in bed. The MD6440 runs via the DC adaptor, the AC adaptor, or batteries. To help save battery life, Memorex provides a hold switch to discourage inadvertent CD operations. There is also a low battery alert to keep you up-to-date on battery life remaining. With multiple play modes (normal, repeat one, repeat all and shuffle) there are many options to listen to your favorite CDs. Other notable features include: resume, bass boost sound and a one-bit D/A converter. The color is a sleek, translucent red, and the player comes with overhead style headphones.

What's in the Box
Memorex MD6440-04CP personal CD player, stereo headphones, car cassette adaptor, cigarette lighter DC adaptor, AC adaptor, user's manual and a ninety day warranty.

3.0 out of 5 stars lacks engineering, August 30, 2001

I never thought all cd players could be so different, but they are. Before this memorex, I had an RCA portable player and I liked it. 3 weeks after I bought the RCA, it had electrical problems and never ran again. I guess for the price, the memorex is a good deal, but lack of build quality REALLY SHOWS! First off, the colored part of the lid scratches very easy, even rubbing agains your clothes will put light marks in it. Opening the lid, you see a simple design inside that lacks engineering, but does the job.
Other than just apperance flaws, the player doesnt do well with CD's. If your lucky, the player will read a cd maybe 50% of the time. If the CD is slightly scratched, it has a tough time reading it. The ESP takes about a minute to load its 40 second buffer and while its doing this, you can hear skips if you bump the player. The headphones are aweful, but that didnt matter to me since I always use my good pair. Last but not least, the buttons feel cheap when pushed in.
On the good side, the batteries last FOREVER! (I seriously bought this player a month and a half ago and still have the original cheapo batteries in it! probably over 60 hours of playing time on two AA and no BATTERY LOW symbol yet), there are all the standard features such as shuffle, repeat 1/all, program, intro, and bass boot. All things considered, I might recommend this thing to people depending on what your needs were. If you want simplicity and are on a tight budget, buy it, otherwise look elsewhere.

2.0 out of 5 stars It was good while it lasted, April 13, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Memorex MD6440-03CP Personal CD Player with Car Kit and 40-Second Anti-Shock (Green) (Electronics)

When I first got it, I was excited because the sound was great. I was using it to supplement the small stereo I had in my room. My wife took it for a jog. It worked great during the jog. The next time I tried to play a CD on it, did not work any more. Total amount of days with it... 4 days. It would not recognize as having a CD in it and it would not start. I am not sure if I would buy another from this company, I am thinking in buying something that would last more than a few days.
