5.0 out of 5 stars Solid Value for Lazy folk, November 27, 2001

This review is from: Sony CFDS38 CD/Radio Cassette Recorder (Electronics)

I've been looking exactly for this product - decent sound with both radio and CD (tape is a bonus) WITH REMOTE! There really hasn't been a middle-ground niche for reasonably-priced, decent featured audio boxes for the office/extra room/basement work area. This is the exact product solution to all my lazy needs for the various formats I like to listen to + a plentitude of functions. The Sony CFD-S39 has a nice little LCD clock, plus bonus timer functions for wake up, standby, etc. The design is quite attractive with decent heft and footprint.

The sound quality is very good - the MegaBass is not too much of an overkill. Optional 8, D-cell batteries make a nice power backup for your clock/presets even with power outages. I love the remote - CD + radio functions can be easily controlled at a distance.

Minor negative attributes is the absence of audio RCA jacks input/outputs - but I suppose that's how they keep the cost down. The only other minor frustration is the interface layout/programming. A few of the buttons serve as dual functions and it's not as intuitive as many other Sony well-designed products.
