Arrived broken in portable audio visual equipment

When I opened the box it seemed to me that something inside the radio was 'ringing'. Something broke in the cassette deck that was pulling the cassette through the cassette. My old cassette broke immediately. 😔 the memories are gone

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure

Does not have an attached antenna as advertised!

The reception was VERY poor as it was NOT connected to the antenna as advertised. According to the manual, the antenna is built in. I would never have bought it if I knew it didn't have an antenna. The result is very poor reception quality.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging

Good and bad

This little CD/cassette player is great for: Listening to CDs and recording cassettes. Please listen to it on a separate tape recorder. Otherwise it's amazing, especially for those of us who live in small spaces.

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Older model

Now I can play my tapes. The sound of the cassette is so warm.

Like. I'm in the process of digitizing the tapes so I can play them as is and figure out what I want to keep. As a composer, I'm looking for ideas for cassettes that I recorded many years ago and never finished. They are when I digitize a piece I can put it on the Garage Band (APPLE) and dress it up however I like. So helpful. I see a remote controlled star line below. I don't have mine

Pros
  • Excellent Overall
Cons
  • Doubtful

Quality is not good for portable audio/video device

Nice looking device but poor quality. Out of the box, the CD player worked until the fifth song and then stopped. Thought it might be the record. I put another one in, at first I couldn't get it to work, but then it worked as it should. The sound was fine. Tried playing cassettes. The player made clicks. Insert another cassette, same sound. I took out the cassettes and pressed play. Noise from the tape recorder. Time to send it back!

Pros
  • Sturdy build
Cons
  • Was damaged
