Too bad it doesn't actually work...
Pros
Good sound if just playing CD's.
Cons
MP3 playback doesn't exactly work right. Alarm clock features limited.
Recommended it?
No
First the good stuff:
- Nice system with good sound.
- Plays Audio CD's and CD-R's with really rich sound, even without the optional sub-woofer.
- Good sale price at $150.
- Comes with wall mount brackets.
- Sleek styling.
Now the bad stuff:
- MP3 playback will only play the first 30 or so songs on the CD. Tried 2 different CD's appears to 'break' at a slightly different song number on each of the discs, but at the same spot on all 3 of the players.
- Display for song names is only 5 characters wide, wind up with moving banners with only ~10 characters displayed for longer titles.
- If you want to use as an alarm clock, it always wakes up to the first song on the disc; i.e.: no random play or run from where it left off or even track select.
- LED is very bright for a bedroom, even when it's completely off, you've got a night light.
In the end, I took it back. Didn't get any real hassle for returning it.
