I did a lot of research before deciding on this particular disc/cassette/radio player & I'm glad I did. This is a real bargain for the money. It not only does everything, it has a remote to enable you to do it. I take it everywhere when it's on batteries. AND I've rediscovered cassettes! Unlike CDs, you can stop & rewind to the very spot you missed. Can't do that with CDs. The main reason I bought it was to listen to recorded books...disc & cassette. Love it, love it, love it! So glad I had the opportunity to write a review.

Emerson PD6560BL Portable CD-RW Player with Digital Tuning AM/FM Stereo Receiver

Works well, easy to use, nice sound. Arrived in good shape.

I LIKE THE RADIO, EASY SETUP OF PROGRAMS AND REMOTE APPLICATIONS; THE ONLY REASON I GAVE A 4 STARS INSTEAD OF 5, WAS BECAUSE THERE IS NOT A LIGHT INDICATOR SHOWING YOU THE RADIO IS ON. I LISTEN TO THE RADIO AT NIGHT WITH A WIRELESS HEADPHONE AND SOMETIMES I TURN OFF THE HEADPHONE AND FORGET TO TURN OFF THE RADIO, IF IT HAD A LIGHT POWER INDICATOR I WOULD HAVE GAVE IT A PERFECT 5 STARS.

It's a nice boom box for it's price. It has decent size speakers and the sound is good. I have it in the kitchen now but I bought it for camping trips.I wanted a new one because my old boom box wouldn't play R/W CD'S but the main thing for me was the cassette player. I'm old school and have a lot of tapes and it's getting harder to find boom boxes with cassette players every year.So with that , the price and the modern styling I'm happy with it.

The radio is great. I needed one for tape playing for some of our homeschooling items and this fit the bill. The remote is just a major bonus since now I don't have to get up and down from the table while we're working...I can just change it from where ever I am. I hope it lasts.
