Good value for money. However, the first unit delivered had an intermittent power cord. The seller responded promptly and provided return shipping materials. The requested enclosure note explaining the problem and my desired conclusion to the purchase activity was ignored and after some time it was necessary to call again and direct them to send a replacement unit which has worked OK - with one peculiar characteristic as explained below.

The unit was purchased specifically for use with computer-generated MP3 discs utilizing MP3 files downloaded from a seminar site. It was found that discs created with those files would play perfectly on small Walkman-size MP3 disc players but they would not play on this device, although it recognized the disc as an MP3 disc. After some experimentation it was found that if those MP3 files were computer-converted to WAV files and then back to MP3, the resultant MP3 disc would play on this machine. So there is a peculiarity in the software/firmware of this machine that is not readily explainable. The machine has not been tested with a commercial MP3 disc, since that is not its intended use. Attempts to have the manufacturer respond via e-mail to this peculiarity were unsuccessful.

I love this radio, it is not too big and it fits on my little table outside just right. It is as clear as a bell and sound great.
