Sony CFD-S350SILVER CD Player Radio

Comments about Sony CFD-S350SILVER CD Player Radio:

I wanted to use this radio in my kids room for naptime and play time music playing.I loved my old radio, which looked almost identical to this one.
I was expecting the same in sound and sound options: extra bass and surround feature. This radio just has MEGA BASS. But they listed this item in the product features: whith Equalizer 5 Presets (Rock, Pop, Jazz, Vocal, Custom) UNFORTUNATLY that option is missing, it does not exist on this product.
I am sad about that. Sound is not as great as I expected it, I am thinking on returning it. So we will see maybe I can find something compact as this but with a better sound.

Grace, style, power, performance, and elegant looks. This Sony CFD-S350SILVER boombox has it all. Whether you wish to provide high quality background music at a child's birthday party, dinner party, the beach, garage, backyard barbecue, family picnic, listen to the ballgame, relax to the soothing comfort of a Beethoven symphony, or just simply want to rock out to your favorite band's tunes after a stressful day at work, this Sony portable stereo is perfect for almost any music playback application. It is clear that this unit produces a remarkably large sound from a small enclosure. This Sony portable stereo is an old school boombox that features four high quality products. Those quality items include a drift-free digital FM/AM tuner with auto station scan, CD player featuring 8X oversampling digital filter, 2 channel stereo cassette player/recorder, and two full-range speakers with Mega Bass sound system. The Sony CFD-S350 boombox features a stereo headphone jack for private listening sessions when needed. The Sony CFD-S350 boombox does come with a 26-key full function remote control for convenient control of the stereo from a distance. The model number of the Sony remote commander is RMT-CS350A. The included remote control has numerous features to enhance the portability and functionality of this portable stereo. The remote can power the stereo on in AC power mode and turn it off in both battery and AC power modes. There is a 0-120 minute sleep timer function which can power the radio off automatically at six selectable intervals of time. A function button allows the user to switch back and forth between the FM/AM tuner, CD player, and cassette player. There is a 10-key numeric keypad for controlling direct tuner preset station and track access for CD playback respectively. There are tune + and tune - buttons to navigate radio presets in ascending or descending order one station at a time. The remote can raise or lower the volume to the desired listening level. There are band and mode buttons for switching back and forth between FM and AM, as well as changing FM stereo mode to mono reception if a FM radio station is received with excessive static or noise. The remote can activate or shut off the stereo's Mega Bass sound enhancement feature. Lastly, the remote commander contains all CD playback transport functions which include play, stop, pause, and two skip buttons. Please note that the remote commander cannot control any of the tape transport functions. This unit's tuner performance is exceptional. FM music stations come in with vibrant fidelity and are static-free. I don't find it necessary to extend the telescopic antenna to achieve satisfactory FM reception. Strong signal AM stations are received with great clarity, superb voice reproduction, and smooth tonal characteristics. I don't need to reorient the unit too much to receive my favorite sports, news, weather forecasts, and talk radio programs clearly. This unit offers flawless CD playback with powerful vocals, harmonious midrange, and well-defined bass performance once the Mega Bass low frequency response enhancement feature is activated. The Sony CFD-S350 portable stereo does not offer MP3 CD or DVD media playback. Cassette playback and recording is transparent, dependable, and effortless. The cassette player's audio performance and mechanical operation is on par with its traditional component stereo counterpart. This Sony boombox is a non-upgradeable model, and was designed for customers that do not own or have no desire to own an iPod, Zune, or any other MP3 player. The main unit is powered by 6 D batteries and the remote control takes 2 AAA batteries. The boombox offers reasonable battery life for this product category. AC power is also available to the unit with the supplied, detachable AC power cord. The Sony CFD-S350 boombox feature set may seem quite simple on the surface, but I find it to be incredibly complete, high quality, and rather sophisticated for both new and experienced portable audio users alike.
