Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Combining topnotch sound quality with a slim, subtle design, the Sony ZS- SN10 CD boombox excels in the house or on the back patio. The boombox is outfitted with a robust CD player that supports CD, CD-R, and CD-RW playback, along with digital MP3, ATRAC3, and ATRAC3plus formats stored on a CD-R/RW. ATRAC3plus is an advanced audio compression technology that offers multiple bit rates, letting you create music compilations tailored to your listening preference. Even better, you can store up to 490 ATRAC3plus tracks on a single CD-R/RW disc at 48 kbps, reducing the number of discs you need to maintain a diverse music collection. And file management is a snap thanks to Sony's SonicStage software (included), which helps you manage, burn, and play back your digital music collection.

The ZS-SN10 offers a number of CD playback modes, ranging from track programming to repeat play (one or all tracks) to shuffle play. Should you tire of listening to CDs, you can turn to the digital AM/FM tuner, which includes 30 station presets (20 FM and 10 AM). And the boombox's quartet of personalized sound modes--jack, rock, pop, and vocal--let you customize the overall audio to meet your taste.

Other details include a pair of 4-inch speakers; a two-line dot matrix display that supports ID3 tagging; a PC/audio input that offers plug-and-play integration with a digital music device (like an iPod or MP3 player) or PC; an easy-to-use jog lever; a 10- key Direct Access remote control; and compatibility with Sony's Connect music store. The ZS-SN10, which runs for up to 25 hours on six D-size batteries, measures 19.69 by 5.71 by 9.06 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty on parts (90 days labor).

I purchased the so called "Boombox" as a small CD player for my office. It works great. There were two specific features I was looking for in a CD player. First, I have Sony's Sonicstage software. Although the software is quirky at times, the best feature is the ATRAC compression. I've created CD's using this compression that can hold 20 full CD's on one CD! Because this compression is proprietary, only specific Sony CD players (including car stereos) can playback a ATRAC CD.

The second feature that I wanted was an aux input for my MP3 player. It's easy to hook up and the sound is awesome.

This boombox worked out perfectly and the price was great.

This review is from: Sony ZS-SN10SILVER Compact MP3/CD Boombox with 10-key Direct Access remote control (Electronics)

I had originally seen the Sony MP3/CD Boombox (ZS-SN10SILVER) on the Sony webpage. I liked what the webpage had to say about it and the functionality. The only problem with the CD player was the availability. I searched high and low and no one had stock. I finally found some available from Amazon and I was able to purchase it right away. I had had a previous experience with a different manufacturer of a CD boombox and that other brand was the worst sounding player I had ever heard. So when we received this Sony product, it was great to hear such rich sound. This was for my 10 year old son and it sounds great at a low volume and at a high volume. He was also able to use the remote control and figure out all the functionality. It is really easy to switch radio stations and set things up. Other systems are not nearly as easy. We have not used the MP3 functionality yet. We have to purchase a cable in order to hook his MP3 up. We are thrilled with his boombox and would highly recommend it over any system that you see in the local stores in your neighborhood. It offers alot and I am the most impressed with the great sound that it has to offer.

WOW! For under $100, this little gem serves well for a picnic, or a (small) home stereo...and the sound quality is REMARKABLE! I've lived with roommates with high end audio systems, and needed something that didn't disappoint now that I don't have access to that equipment. I can't get over the sound quality at this price.

And, it has a line-in for all your digital music needs.
